The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.2true22025-01-01falsetruefalse 09006441 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 09006441 2025-12-31 09006441 2024-12-31 09006441 2024-01-01 09006441 1 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:Director3 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:Director4 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:RegisteredOffice 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:Agent1 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:MotorVehicles 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:MotorVehicles 2025-12-31 09006441 c:MotorVehicles 2024-12-31 09006441 c:MotorVehicles c:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:FurnitureFittings 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:FurnitureFittings 2025-12-31 09006441 c:FurnitureFittings 2024-12-31 09006441 c:FurnitureFittings c:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2025-12-31 09006441 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2024-12-31 09006441 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 3 2025-12-31 09006441 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 3 2024-12-31 09006441 c:ReportableOperatingSegment1 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:ReportableOperatingSegment1 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 09006441 c:ShareCapital 2025-12-31 09006441 c:ShareCapital 2024-12-31 09006441 c:ShareCapital 2024-01-01 09006441 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2025-12-31 09006441 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 09006441 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2024-12-31 09006441 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2024-01-01 09006441 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 09006441 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2025-12-31 09006441 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2024-12-31 09006441 d:FRS102 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:Audited 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:FullAccounts 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 d:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 09006441 f:PoundSterling 2025-01-01 2025-12-31 xbrli:shares iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure

Independent auditor's report to the members of Irish Cattle Breeding Centre (UK) Limited
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Irish Cattle Breeding Centre (UK) Limited, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.  

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion, Irish Cattle Breeding Centre (UK) Limited's financial statements:


give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial performance for the financial year then ended; and


have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.



Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) ('ISAs (UK)') and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, namely the FRC's Ethical Standard and the ethical pronouncements established by Chartered Accountants Ireland, applied as determined to be appropriate in the circumstances of the entity. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern



In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities, and the responsibilities of the directors, with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information


Other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon, including the Directors' report. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.


In connection with our audit of the financial statementsour responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies in the financial statements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the Directors' report  for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements, and 
the Directors' report  has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 


Matters on which we are required to report by exception


In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment we have obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the  Directors' report .

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

the directors were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemptions from the  requirement to prepare a strategic report or in preparing the Directors' report.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
 



Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including FRS102 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.


Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Irish Cattle Breeding Centre (UK) Limited (continued)


Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements
 

The objectives of an auditor are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes their opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of an auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations, such as data protection, employment law, health and safety law, environmental law and child protection and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and local tax legislation. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through judgments and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to significant one-off or unusual transactions. We apply professional scepticism through the audit to consider potential deliberate omission or concealment of significant transactions, or incomplete/inaccurate disclosures in the financial statements.

In response to these principal risks, our audit procedures included but were not limited to:
 
enquiries of management on the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
inspection of the company's regulatory and legal correspondence and review of minutes of board meetings during the year to corroborate enquiries made;
gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risk related to fraud;
discussion amongst the engagement team in relation to the identified laws and regulations and regarding the risk of fraud, and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance or opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of financial statements throughout the audit;
identifying and testing journal entries to address the risk of inappropriate journals and management override of controls;
designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our testing;
review of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and inquiries of management; and

Independent auditor's report to the members of Irish Cattle Breeding Centre (UK) Limited (continued)

challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in their significant accounting estimates, including impairment assessment of tangible fixed assets and debtors.

The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with those charged with governance and management. As with any audit, there remains a risk of non-detection or irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or override of internal controls.



The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
 

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements

1.


General information

Irish Cattle Breeding Centre (UK) Limited is a private company limited by shares registered in England with a registered office at 27-28 Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8DH.

The principal activity of the company is earning commission on the provision of bovine semen to third parties in the United Kingdom. 

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The financial statements are presented in GBP (£).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

The directors have considered the financial position of the company in the context of the shareholder's deficit at the year end. The structure of the group is such that the company's success is heavily dependent on the success of its Irish based group companies in generating both profit and positive cash flows.  In this context, the directors forecast that the group will generate profits and positive cash flows throughout the twelve month period commencing on the date of the approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors have elected to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of these financial statements.

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The company's functional and presentational currency is GBP (£).

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Notes to the financial statements
For the financial year ended 31 December 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is primarily generated on the sale of bovine semen to third parties in the UK. The company records revenue at the point where all risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, i.e. the goods have been delivered.

 
2.5

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.6

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Motor vehicles
-
20%
Fixtures and fittings
-
15%

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.7

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.8

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.9

 Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

 Financial instruments

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.

Useful lives of depreciable assets
The annual depreciation charge depends primarily on the estimated lives of each type of assets and, in certain circumstances, estimates of fair values and residual lives. The directors annually review these assets lives and adjust them as necessary to reflect current thinking on remaining lives in light of technological change, prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets concerned. Changes in asset lives can have significant impact on depreciation charges for the period. It is not practical to quantify the impact of changes in asset lives in use. The impact of any change would vary significantly depending on the individual changes in assets and the classes of assets impacted.

Impairment of trade debtors
The company uses estimates based on historical experience and current information in determining the level of debts for which an impairment charge is required. The level of impairment required is reviewed on an ongoing basis.
