Basis
of
Preparation
The quarterly management
accounts of ChallengerX plc have been prepared in compliance with
United Kingdom Accounting Standards,
including
Financial
Reporting
Standard
102,
“The
Financial
Reporting
Standard
applicable in
the United Kingdom and the
Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Companies Act
2006.
These management accounts
are
prepared
on
a
going
concern
basis,
under
the
historical
cost
convention,
as modified by
the recognition of listed investments at fair
value.
The financial
statements
are
presented
in
Pounds
Sterling,
which
is
the
Company’s
presentation
and
functional
currency.
The preparation of the
financial statements requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its
judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting
policies. The areas involving
a
higher
degree
of
judgment
and
complexity,
or
areas
where
assumptions
and
estimates
are
significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 to
the financial statements.
The financial
statements
have
been
prepared
on
the
historical
cost
basis
and
are
presented
in
£’000
unless
otherwise
stated.
-
Going
Concern
As at 30 September 2024, the Company had cash of £514.
The Company has limited operating
cash
flow
and
is
dependent
on
the
performance
of
its
trading
and its cash balances
for
its working
capital requirements. As at the date of this report, the Company
had approximately £1,390 cash at bank.
In making their assessment
of going concern, the Directors, having made due and careful
enquiry, are of the opinion that the Company will have access to
adequate working capital to meet its obligations for the period of
at least 12 months from the date these management accounts are
authorized for issue. The Directors, have discussed the Company's
position with its investors and potential investors and believes it
will secure the funding required to pursue its
objectives.
The Directors believe in
the Company’s potential. However, the success of securing funding
has been identified as a material uncertainty which may cast
significant doubt over the going concern assessment. Whilst
acknowledging this uncertainty, based upon the expectation of
completing a successful fundraising in the near future, and the
continued support of its investors, the Directors consider it
appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a
going concern basis.
