NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Parity Technologies Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 1 Sans Walk, London, England, EC1R 0LT.
The group consists of Parity Technologies Limited and all of its subsidiaries.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with 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 Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Profit and Loss Account in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate.
As at the balance sheet date, the Group had net current assets of £53.1m (2024: net current assets of £63m), reflecting a strong liquidity position. The directors have reviewed the Group’s forecasts and cash flow projections for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors believe that the Group is solvent and able to meet its liabilities as they fall due, supported by fixed assets of £33.8m, which largely comprise intangible assets. These include digital assets totalling £32.4m. The directors acknowledge that there is an inherent risk associated with the valuation and volatility of such assets within this sector. Based on this review, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue from consulting contracts is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For long-term consulting and advisory service contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual services provided up to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of total services to be provided. The directors have assessed that the stage of completion is determined based on the performance obligations specified in the terms and conditions of the contract or by the time elapsed as a proportion of the total contract term length, as at the end of the reporting period, as the appropriate measures of progress towards complete satisfaction of these performance obligations under FRS 102. Estimates of revenues, costs, or extent of progress towards completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting movements in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in the profit or loss for the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. Revenue from validator staking rewards is recognised at the point in time when a block is created and transactions are validated. The validation process confirms transactions and adds them to the blockchain, which is when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The rewards are measured at the market value of the cryptocurrency token on the date of the block creation and validation of transactions. Revenue from nominator staking rewards is recognised at the point in time when it is effectively earned by the nominator; when the tokens have been credited to the nominator's wallet by the blockchain protocol, which is when the revenue recognition criteria under FRS 102 section 23.14 are satisfied. The rewards are measured at the market value of the cryptocurrency token on the date the tokens have been credited to the nominator wallet. These policies ensure that revenue from blockchain activities is recognised in a manner that reflects the transfer of economic benefits and the fulfilment of performance obligations as per the principles of FRS 102. These policies outline when and how revenue should be recognised for both validators and nominators, ensuring compliance with FRS 102. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account in the same period as the related expenditure.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
• They are separately identifiable; • The crypto assets or tokens are in the control of the Company and this control has arisen as a result of contractual or legal rights; and • It is expected that future economic benefits will flow to the business from them. The Company and Group has chosen to apply the revaluation model for cryptocurrency or digital assets where there is an active market. Under this model the crypto tokens and assets are revalued at the end of each reporting period based on the active market cost price at that date. Revaluation gains received are accumulated in the reserves and released into retained earnings upon disposal. At the end of each reporting period, the Company and Group is required to assess whether there is any indication an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired then the company will calculate the asset's recoverable amounts, which is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. If the recoverable amount of a crypto token or asset is below the carrying amount, an impairment loss will be recognised.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) 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 Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly

traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments 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 creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors 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.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The carrying amount of the investments accounted for using the equity method is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any goodwill included in the carrying amount of the investment is not tested separately for impairment. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or Cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical judgements The following judgements, apart from those involving estimates, have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Indefinite life intangible assets Crypto assets or tokens have no physical attributes and will be accounted for as intangible assets under FRS102 with an indefinite useful life, unless they are held for sale in the ordinary course of business. FRS 102 states that all intangible assets are deemed to have a finite life. Therefore to apply indefinite life requires a true and fair override of FRS 102. Indefinite life best reflects the substance of cryptocurrencies. Valuation of crypto assets Revenue earned from nomination activities has been presented net of commission due to validators being considered a principal in the transaction in accordance with sections 23A 37-41 of FRS 102. The value of digital assets received under standalone customer contracts and through staking rewards for which there is an active market are measured by reference to the market value per token. Useful expected life of depreciable assets Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates related to technological obsolescence that may change the utility of computer, fixtures, fittings and office equipment. Indicators of impairment Management has concluded that no impairment of tangible fixed assets is required as the value of the computer equipment, leasehold, land and buildings and fixtures and fittings are not tied to the success of Parity financially. Management has assessed the Group's intangible fixed assets for impairment and concluded that no impairment is required. The assets are carried under the revaluation model, and their carrying values are supported by observable prices in an active market.
