Notes to the Financial Statements
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
 
1.1 General information and basis of preparation
Nodus Oncology Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The address of the registered office and registration number are as below:
61 Dublin Street
Edinburgh
Scotland
EH3 6NL
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling (£) which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
 
1.2 Consolidation
The company has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group.
 
1.3 Going concern
The company is in early research and development phase. During this stage of its lifecycle, as is common with companies of a similar nature, the company will continue to rely on further investment to fund its activities. The company raised £1.8m (gross proceeds) in December 2023 and the Directors have a reasonable expectation that further capital will be raised when required for the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
 
1.4 Research and development
Research and development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred, except where expenditure is made on a clearly defined project with reasonable certainty as to its technical feasibility and ultimate commercial viability. Where this is the case, these costs will be capitalised and amortised over a defined period.
Expenditure that does not meet the above criteria is expensed as incurred.
 
1.5 Tax
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
 
1.6 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Filleted Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025
Notes to the Financial Statements
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
 
1.7 Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the profit and loss account.
 
1.8 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Any intangible assets carried at revalued amounts, are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation, as determined by reference to an active market, less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is charged once an intangible asset comes into use.
 
1.9 Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
 
1.10 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.
 
1.11 Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at fair value at the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value is determined by publicly available market rates.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

1.12 Employee benefits - defined contribution plan
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
 
2. Employees
The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to 2 (2024: 2).
