1. Accounting policies
1.1. Basis of preparation of Interim Financial Statements
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Half Year Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. These Interim Financial Statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006, do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and have not been audited or reviewed by the auditors pursuant to the Financial Reporting Council guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the period ended 30 September 2019 (the "Annual Report and Financial Statements"), which has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"). The Annual Financial Statements constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and a copy these statutory accounts has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those statutory accounts was unqualified, drew attention to a material uncertainty in relation to going concern by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used to prepare the Financial Statements for the period ended 30 September 2019 and those applicable for the year ended 30 September 2020. The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Annual Financial Statements described above. The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
The comparative period to 31 March 2019 commenced on the incorporation date of 05 September 2018.
2. Going concern
The Company had cash of £490,153 as at 31 March 2020. On this basis, the Board considers the Company to have sufficient resources to remain in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
3. Earnings per share
The calculation of earnings per share is based on the following loss and number of shares:
6-month period ended 31 March 2020 (Unaudited)
From 05 September 2018 to 31 March 2019 (Unaudited)
Loss for the period from continuing operations
£33,885
£32,877
Weighted average shares in issue
20,340,002
2,297.598
Earnings per share (in pence)
(0.17p)
(1.43p)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year from continuing operations of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the year. There are no potential dilutive shares in issue.
4. Cash and cash equivalents
