GENERAL INFORMATION

Beran Instruments Limited, registered number 01802762, is a private company, limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Hatchmoor Industrial Estate, Great Torrington, North Devon, EX38 7HP.

The Company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Directors' Report.

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 FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

GOING CONCERN

The Company generated a profit of £198k (2024: profit of £76k) during the year ended 31 December 2025 and, as of that date, the Company had net assets of £2,098k (2024: £1,900k). 

The Company and the Group rely on its existing bank facilities to meet their day-to-day working capital requirements, and these facilities were renewed at favourable terms for both the Company and Group during 2026.

The Group includes Condition Monitoring Technology Group Holdings Limited, Condition Monitoring Technology Group Limited, Helitune Limited, Beran Instruments Limited, Prosig Limited, DJB Instruments (UK) Limited & its overseas subsidiaries as set out in Note 15 of the Parent company’s financial statements.

The Directors have prepared detailed forecasts covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts, together with the strong performance against forecast in H1 2026 indicate that the Company expects to be able to comfortably operate within these facilities for the whole of the foreseeable future and will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. As a result, the Directors conclude that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2025.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.3

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
∙the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
∙the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.4

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Development expenditure
-
Case-by-case basis reflecting the period of benefits
Computer Software
-
20% - 25% straight line
Page 5

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.5

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, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold land and buildings
-
2%
Plant and machinery
-
7% - 20%
Motor vehicles
-
25%
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
-
15% - 25%

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.

 
2.6

DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research costs are written off as incurred. Development costs are capitalised within intangible assets, where they can be identified with a specific product or project anticipated to produce future benefits, and are amortised on the straight line basis over the anticipated life of the benefits arising from the completed product or project, which the directors review on a project-by-project basis to a maximum of five years.

Capitalised development costs are reviewed annually, and where future benefits are deemed to have ceased or to be in doubt, the balance of any related development is written off to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

Where the conditions of Section 18 of FRS 102 are not satisfied, expenditure on development is written off as incurred.

 
2.7

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

 
2.8

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.9

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.

 
2.10

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.

 
2.11

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. Any deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.

Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.12

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.

 
2.13

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.

 
2.14

PENSIONS

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

2.15

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.16

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of Financial Position, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.

Amortisation and impairment of development costs
The Company's products are subject to changing market demand. It is therefore necessary to consider on a periodic basis the rate of amortisation applied to capitalised development costs and any impairment that might have arisen. Management assesses impairments by considering the saleability of the related products in the light of technological developments and projected future market conditions.

Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge is sensitive to any changes in the estimated useful life and residual values of tangible assets. The useful economic lives and residual value is assessed on an annual basis and are amended only when evidence shows a change in the estimated economic lives or residual life. Criteria used to assess the economic life and residual value includes technological advancement, economic utilisation, physical condition of the asset and future investments.

Impairment of stocks
The Company's products are subject to changing market demand. It is therefore necessary to consider on a periodic basis the recoverability of the cost of stocks and the associated impairment. Management calculates impairments by considering the nature and condition of the stocks and applies assumptions around anticipated saleability of finished goods and future usage of raw materials, overheads and labour.

Carrying Value of debtors
On a periodic basis management makes an estimation of the recoverability of debtors. Management makes such estimations based on the credit rating of debtors, the ageing profile, and historical experience.

The recoverability of intercompany debtor balances is a key area of judgment in the preparation of these financial statements. Management assesses whether intercompany debtor balances are recoverable based on the financial position, liquidity, and future cash flow projections of the debtor entity, as well as the nature and terms of the intercompany arrangements.

The assessment of recoverability involves significant estimates and assumptions. Changes in these estimates, or the emergence of new information, could result in material adjustments to the carrying value of the intercompany debtor balances.
