Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal Accounting Policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are set out below. These Policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the
The Financial Statements are presented in sterling (£), rounded to the nearest pound.
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group and Company’s accounting policies.
Basis of consolidation
The Group Financial Statements consolidate the Financial Statements of
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The cost of acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets acquired, equity instruments issued and liabilities acquired or assumed at the date of exchange. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Company:
There are no new standards or amendments to standards and interpretations effective for the annual periods beginning on or after
(b) New and amended standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted:
The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Financial Statements are disclosed below. The Directors are assessing the possible impact of the following standards on the Group or Company’s Financial Statements:
Standard Effective Date
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 1 January 2018
IFRS 16 Leases 1 January 2019
IFRS 2 (Amendments) Classification and measurement of share based payments
Annual Improvements Annual Improvements to IFRS 2014-16 cycle 1 January 2018
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments 1 January 2019
Annual Improvements * Annual Improvements to IFRS 2015-17 cycle
*Not yet endorsed by the EU and EU effective date not yet determined
Due to the current non-revenue generating nature of the Group and Company, IFRS 15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group or Company financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash at hand and current and deposit balances with banks and similar institutions, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. This definition is also used for the Statement of Cash Flows.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group and Company become party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual right to the cash flow expires or when all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligations specified in the contract are either discharged or cancelled.
Financial assets
1. Loans and receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They incorporate various types of contractual monetary assets, such as advances made to affiliated entities which give rise to other receivables and cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. Other receivables are carried at cost less any provision for impairment. Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty) that the Group and Company will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms of the receivable, the amount of such a provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable.
Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities, which consist of trade and other payables are initially stated at fair value and subsequently at their amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Taxation
Current tax is the tax currently payable or receivable based on the taxable loss for the year.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, except when, at the initial recognition of the asset or liability, there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been substantially enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date, and that are expected to apply when the temporary difference reverses.
Tax losses available to be carried forward are recognised as deferred tax assets, to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profits against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Trade Payables
Trade payables 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 payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Going Concern
The Group and Company’s business activities together with the factors likely to affect their future development, performance and position are set out in the Chairman’s Statement. In addition, Note 2 to the financial statements include the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments and its exposure to credit and liquidity risk.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group incurred a net loss of £100,176 during the year ended
Nevertheless, after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will have access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements.
NOTE 1: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Estimated impairment of loan receivable
NOTE 2: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Capital Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
During the years under review, the only financial instruments were cash and cash equivalents and other receivables which were or will be required for the normal operations of the Group.
The Group operates informal treasury policies which include ongoing assessments of interest rate management and borrowing policy. The Board approves all decisions on treasury policy.
The Company has raised funds to finance future activities through the placing of shares, together with share options and warrants. There are no differences between the book value and fair value of the above financial assets. The risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are liquidity and interest rate risk. The Directors review and agree policies for managing these risks and they are summarised below:
Liquidity and interest rate risk
The Group seeks to manage financial risk, to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. This is achieved by the close control by the Directors of the Company in the day to day management of liquid resources. Cash is invested in deposit accounts which provide a modest return on the Group’s resources whilst ensuring there is limited risk of loss to the Group.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents. The Group considers the credit ratings of banks in which it holds funds in order to reduce exposure to credit risk. The long term Moody’s credit rating of

The Group has carried forward excess management expenses and trade losses of approximately £492,000 (2017: £392,000) available to carry forward against future taxable profits. A deferred tax asset of approximately £84,000 (2017: £78,000) has not been recognised because of uncertainty over the timing of future taxable profits against which the losses may be offset.
