Notes to the Abridged Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Going concern

The company incurred a loss of €83,956 for the year ended 31 December 2025 and, as at that date, had net assets of €658,857. The company is part of a wider group and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the continued financial support of its parent undertaking.


The directors have prepared forecasts and cash flow projections for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts indicate that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due, subject to the continued availability of group funding.


The company has an outstanding balance due to its parent undertaking of €49,434,986 (2024: €34,645,081), which is non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. The directors have received confirmation from the parent undertaking that it does not intend to demand repayment of this balance within at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and will continue to provide financial support as required.
Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have concluded that no material uncertainty exists. They therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis.

Disclosure exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements areconsolidated into the financial statements of the Italian Parnet company. As such, advantage has been taken ofthe following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) Disclosures in respect ofeach class of share capital have not been presented. (b) No cash flow statement has been presented for thecompany. (c) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented. (d) No disclosure has beengiven for the aggregate remuneration of key management personnel.

Consolidation

The entity has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained inSection 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the entity and its subsidiary undertakings comprise asmall group.

Audit report

The Independent Auditor's Report was unqualified. . The name of the Senior Statutory Auditor who signed the audit report on 16 September 2026 was Shanoor Miah FCA BSc (Hons) , who signed for and on behalf of DTL Auditors Ltd.

Notes to the Abridged Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Foreign currency transactions and balances

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.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and
installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Office equipment

20% straight line

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.

Investments

Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.


Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Notes to the Abridged Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Profit and Loss Account over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

No adjustment is made if the amortised cost of the borrowings is not materially different from the value initially recognised.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

3

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 1 (2024 - 1).
