About Equipmake
Equipmake is a UK-based technology company which has developed a range of electrification products for the provision of electric vehicle drivetrains to meet the needs of the automotive, aerospace and other sectors in support of the transition from fossil-fuelled to zero-emission powertrains.
Equipmake a leader in ultra-high performance electric motors and complete EV drivetrains and ultra-fast power electronic systems. As well as developing proprietary technology - such as an ultra-compact, lightweight high performance spoke motor - it also offers industry-leading EV consultancy too.
Equipmake believes that its vertically integrated solution will enable it to offer more competitive pricing than others, who are integrating bought-in system components, with the benefit of higher margins.
Following a number of years of engagement with potential customers, the Company now has a significant pipeline of opportunities, as demand for electric vehicles increases as part of the global decarbonisation movement.
Equipmake listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market in July 2022 and the £10 million raised is being used to scale up the business to meet its pipeline of opportunities.
CEO review
Introduction
We delivered a strong performance in FY 2022, with revenue ahead of expectations prior to our IPO on the Aqius Access Exchange and a rebalanced revenue mix, as commercial and production contracts revenue rose by 51.9% against FY 2021. This performance was driven by growth in orders and their subsequent conversion to contracts, as the global move towards a zero-emission transport network continues to accelerate.
Business Overview
We secured several major contracts during the year, including a multi-year production contract to supply our ASIL-D compliant motor drive inverter to a leading European electric hyper-car developer. This is a major milestone for the Company, marking the transition from an R&D phase to production. Delivery commenced in October 2021 and this inverter is now being utilised in one of the fastest accelerating production cars in the world.
The Company also started working with a division of FirstGroup, First York Limited, to fully convert 12 Optare Versa buses from an EV Generation one system to Equipmake's Zero Emission Drivetrain. This project, one of a number of similar projects we are exploring, is in line with our strategy to retrofit older, typically diesel or diesel-electric hybrid engine buses, extending lifespans and reducing emissions associated with manufacturing new vehicles. We expect to deliver the first of these vehicles to First York during Q4 2022.
We commenced delivery of EV drivetrains for Fire Trucks to Emergency One, the UK's leading manufacturer of fire and rescue vehicles, one of which is being actively marketed by one of the largest suppliers of fire trucks in the USA.
In addition, we entered a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a major Tier 1 Indian supplier to the global automotive industry, to help establish a manufacturing plant in India to manufacture EV powertrains, their sub-systems, and components for passenger buses and/or heavy commercial vehicles utilising Equipmake IP.
Whilst the main commercial focus of the Company remains the development of heavy-duty powertrain systems for buses and fire trucks globally, we continue to make progress in other sectors.
During the period, the Company announced it had been chosen as a development partner of Gilmour Space of Australia who are developing a low earth orbit satellite launch rocket; a project requiring a high performance (low weight) solution. Equipmake has already achieved the target specification and delivered the first product to Gilmour who have incorporated the Company's cutting-edge motors and inverters to power the rocket fuel pumps. The first prototype units have been delivered and successfully trialled and the first rocket is due to launch in 2023, with production units due to be supplied in 2024.
Aerospace projects such as this solidify Equipmake's reputation in the marketplace as a leading developer of high-performance electric drivetrain technology and have led to interest from several other companies in the sector.
Ahead of our IPO, we strengthened our board, appointing James Bishop as COO Steven McGillivray as CFO. Clive Scrivener, Jonathan Beasley, and Dena Bellamy also joined as independent non-executive directors, all of whom bring a wealth of experience to the Equipmake board, which is invaluable as we execute our growth strategy.
Current Trading
On 29th July 2022, Equipmake Holdings PLC was admitted to the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market (ticker: EQIP), raising gross proceeds of £10m (before expenses), which are being invested in executing the Company's growth strategy. We are investing in capacity and people to meet the increasing production demand, with work on our proposed additional site extension due to commence in Q1 2023. This will allow us to convert and deliver our substantial medium-term pipeline. As the fundraising was completed after our financial year end, the results here do not reflect the impact of this investment in the business.
The business is trading in line with management expectations, with positive momentum maintained into the current financial year. Delivery of contracts secured in the previous financial year is on track, and discussions with new and existing customers regarding projects across both our core bus market and adjacent markets are ongoing. We continue to develop our range of electrification products, investing significantly in R&D through FY22 and into the current year.
Post-year end, in collaboration with our South American partner, Agrale, Equipmake successfully launched an electric bus in Argentina featuring the Company's latest-generation zero-emission powertrain. The bus has successfully completed pre-service trials and commenced in-service trials in November 2022.
On 18th August 2022, we signed a non-binding MOU with PT Transportasi Jakarta and PT Vktr Teknologi Mobilitas for an implementation plan for an electric bus retrofit trial in Jakarta, Indonesia. This underlines progress made in respect of bus opportunities in Indonesia, with our strong local partnerships ensuring Equipmake is well placed to capitalise on these. Development of the first trial vehicle is underway, with trials in Jakarta expected to start in Q2 2023.
With support from Transport for London (TfL), Equipmake recently showcased an all-electric repower of the Iconic London Routemaster bus at the main industry bus show, Euro Bus Expo in November 2022, commencing pre-service trials with Metroline immediately following this. The bus, which features a 400kWh battery (with an expected in-service range of 150 miles), will complete in-service trials over a six-month period and will provide valuable test data as TfL continues to evaluate a range of clean technologies, including state-of-the-art repower systems such as Equipmake's Zero Emission Drivetrain.
Outlook
The successes detailed above have been achieved in a challenging environment for the industry, with electronic component shortages causing supply risk and inflationary pressures. Our vertically integrated model, which means that we are the design authority for most of our systems, has provided resilience to these challenges, enabling us to navigate difficulties and maintain supply whilst controlling costs.
While we remain mindful of challenges, we are encouraged by the level of demand and interest in both our core bus markets and the adjacent markets we are exploring. Equipmake continues to be well-positioned in these highly favourable markets, with strong EV market growth expected in line with the ongoing global decarbonisation movement.
As outlined at the time of the IPO, we remain fully committed to growing the business and to that end, are focused on investing in the following areas:
· Capital and operational expenditure to establish a manufacturing facility, providing the capacity to deliver up to 250 vehicles per year
· Securing additional in-house expertise and aligning operational resource and processes to facilitate the scaling up process
· Ongoing training of our workforce to ensure we remain at the forefront of the industry
· Securing long-term resilient supply chain relationships for key components
Whilst we continue to be cognisant of the impact of supply chain issues on our ability to meet project timelines, with our expectations for FY 2023 underpinned by work fully contracted and with advanced discussions underway to facilitate the conversion of our significant medium-term pipeline into orders, we move into the remainder of our current financial year with confidence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022
|
1.
|
General information
|
Equipmake (Holdings) Plc is a public company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The company registration number is 04303233. The registered office is Unit 7, Snetterton Business Park,Snetterton, Norfolk, NR16 2JU. The group consists of the parent Equipmake (Holdings) Limited and subsidiary Equipmake Limited. All group entities are included within the consolidation These financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity and are rounded to the nearest £1.
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 Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
2.2
|
Basis of consolidation
|
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. During the year, the company has acquired the remaining 25% shareholding in Equipmake Limited. Under FRS102 and Business Combinations, the company has applied fair value accounting for this acquisition, which has led to an uplift in valuation of £5,849,982.
In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 June 2016.
|
|
2.3
|
Going concern
|
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
The Directors have prepared detailed forecasts, models and cash flows (which cover a period in excess of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements), in order to support the going concern assumption for which these accounts are prepared. Although the Group has experienced a loss in the year, this is as expected due to the Group being in the development phase for a significant portion of its product line.
The Group has previously received investment and government grants to support the development phase of operations. Post year‑end, the Company raised £10m of gross funding via an IPO on the Aquis Access Stock Exchange. This listing provides the Group with sufficient funds to meet the financial requirements of its growth plan for a period in excess that required for the going concern assumption. The Group will carefully monitor cash spend over the course of the ensuing year to ensure that it has sufficient funding as it moves into the production phase.
The Directors believe that due to the ongoing development of the Group's products and its considerable pipeline of opportunities, they remain a going concern and therefore confirm that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis
As a result the directors believe that the company and group will be able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Consequently the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
|
|
2.4
|
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.
|
|
2.5
|
Revenue
|
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding trade discounts, and net of VAT. Revenue is recognised on delivery of those goods and services or in the period in which related costs are incurred.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue from contracts for the provision of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that it is probable will be recovered.
|
|
2.6
|
Operating leases: the Group as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight‑line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight‑line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.
|
|
2.7
|
Research and development
|
In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Expenditure on internally generated development is recognised as an expense when incurred.
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only. No development costs are currently capitalised.
|
|
2.8
|
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 as other income at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within turnover in the same period as the related expenditure, which is recognised in cost of sales. These grants relate to the primary function of the business and facilitate the delivery of the Group's primary purpose. Other grants are shown within other operating income.
|
|
2.9
|
Interest income
|
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
|
|
2.10
|
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.
|
|
2.11
|
Pensions
|
Defined contribution pension plan
The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group 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 Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.
|
|
2.12
|
Share based payments
|
Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non‑market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non‑vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Group keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.
|
|
2.13
|
Taxation
|
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 balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.
|
|
2.14
|
Exceptional items
|
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Group but are presented separately due to their size or incidence. This includes fair value adjustments in respect of the convertible loan notes and transaction costs associated with the IPO.
In respect of the IPO transactions fees, any costs incurred in the current financial year have been prepaid and will be expensed when the future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity. Fees prepaid in 2022 £123,894 (2021: nil).
|
|
2.15
|
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.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
|
Leasehold improvements |
‑ |
|
20% Straight line |
|

|
Plant and machinery |
‑ |
|
20 ‑ 33% Straight line |
|
|
|
|
|
Specialist assets |
‑ |
|
50% Straight line |
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.
Assets under development are recognised at their cost. No depreciation is charged on these assets until the assets are complete and available for use.
|
|
2.16
|
Investments
|
Investments in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost at acquisition and reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with any movement in the fair value recognised in the profit and loss. Where an investment is acquired in stages, it may be more appropriate to recognise the fair value during initial recognition and then assess the deemed cost for impairment at each reporting date.
The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are required immediately in the profit and loss account.
|
|
2.17
|
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 weighted average basis.
At each balance sheet 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 profit or loss.
|
|
2.18
|
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
|
|
2.19
|
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.
|
|
2.20
|
Creditors
|
Short‑term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
|
|
2.21
|
Provisions for liabilities
|
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.
|
|
2.22
|
Financial instruments
|
The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
|
|
2.23
|
Dividends
|
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
|
|
2.24
|
Correction of prior period error
|
The comparative figures have been restated to correct the account treatment of the intangible asset for the product exploitation rights and correction of understated accruals and reclassification of expenditure. Details of this restatement can be found in note 29.
|
3.
|
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the amounts reported for income and expenditure during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimating uncertainty at the reporting date include:
Warranty provision
Provision is made for warranties. This requires management's best estimate of the expenditure that will be incurred in respect of warranty claims, which are detailed in the terms and conditions of sale. For further details on the provision value, see note 13.
Valuation of investment - share-for-share exchange
During the year, a share-for-share exchange was completed which required the Directors to make a judgement as to the number of Equipmake Holdings shares to issue for each Equipmake Limited share. At the time of the share exchange, it was management's view is that the value of the Group is derived from the operating company (Equipmake Limited) and it was therefore appropriate to swap a 25% shareholding in the subsidiary for a 25% shareholding in the parent company.
The fair value calculation includes judgements and assumptions regarding the value of the company and the discount factor used to reflect the lack of control that is inherent in a 25% investment.
Share based payments
Some of Equipmake Holdings Plc's employees have been granted share options by the company. The fair value of these options on the date of grant has been determined using the Black Scholes Model. The directors consider this the most suitable model for calculating the fair value of the options. For further details, see note 28.
The management believe that there will not be only one acceptable choice for estimating the fair value of share- based payment arrangements. The judgements and estimates that management apply in determination of the share- based compensation are summarised below:
· Selection of a valuation model
· Making assumptions used in determining the variables used in a valuation model
i. expected life
ii. expected volatility
iii. expected dividend yield
iv. expected probability of market conditions being met for the difference tranches of share options
Impairment of investments and inter-company receivable
The directors have assessed the valuation of the investment in Equipmake Limited (subsidiary) and inter-company receivable held in Equipmake Holdings PLC, at the balance sheet date. The Directors believe that due to the ongoing development of the Company's products and its considerable pipeline of opportunities (along with the raising of £10m of gross funding via an IPO on the Aquis Access Stock Exchange for Equipmake Holdings Plc, which will further enhance the capabilities and resources of Equipmake Limited), that this investment is not impaired.

Factors that may affect future tax charges
Changes to the UK corporation tax rates were substantially enacted as part of the 2021 Budget on 24 May 2021. This included an increase to the main rate from 19% to 25% from April 2023. The company will be taxed at a rate of 25% unless its profits are sufficiently low enough to qualify for a lower rate of tax, the lowest being 19%.
Where applicable, deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have been measured using tax rates between 19% and 25% to reflect the rate of the timing differences are likely to unwind and are reflected in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is not recognised in respect of losses of £8,281,504 (2021: £4,034,060) due to the uncertainty that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

The following other movements in relation to Share Capital are as follows:
On 18 January 2022, the company acquired the remaining 25 ordinary shares in its subsidiary by way of a share exchange. This has been recognised at 18 January 2022 as the legal form of the share reorganisation has been satisfied, however, the forms duly stamped with Stamp Duty have not yet been returned by HMRC and therefore have not yet been entered into the statutory books and records.
On 28 February 2022 3,500,000 deferred shares (nominal value of £0.0001 each) were repurchased by the company and subsequently cancelled.On 24 March 2022, the company capitalised £5,000,000 of the merger reserve and issued B Ordinary shares to the value of £5,000,000 to existing shareholders of the company. On the 25 March 2022, the company entered into a reduction in capital releasing £5,000,000 to other distributable reserves and the shares were subsequently cancelled.

Reserves
|
Other reserves - Group
Brought forward other reserves comprise the amount attributable to the owners of the Company following the issue of shares in the subsidiary at a premium to non-controlling interests in previous financial periods.
Other reserves - Company
£5,000,000 was capitalised and appropriated as capital to existing shareholders in the form of 5,000,000 £1 B ordinary shares during the financial year. These shares were subsequently cancelled.
As a result of the reduction in capital which resulted in the cancellation of 5,000,000 £1 B ordinary shares during the financial year, £5,000,000 has been credited against the proceeds of this issue.
Share-based payments reserve - Group and Company
Used to reflect the assessed fair value of the equity settled options issued as share-based payments.
Merger relief reserve - Company only
The merger relief reserve accounts for the uncapitalised fair value adjustment in respect of the investment in the wholly owned subsidiary Equipmake Limited which is eliminated on consolidation and therefore not presented on a group basis. £5,000,000 was capitalised and appropriated as capital to existing shareholders in the form of 5,000,000 £1 B ordinary shares during the financial year. These shares were subsequently cancelled.
Profit and loss account - Group and Company
The profit and loss account represents cumulative profits and losses net of dividends and other adjustments.
28. Share-based payments
The company operates an equity-based share-based remuneration scheme for employees. The fair value is measured by use of the Black Scholes option pricing method. Non-vesting conditions and market conditions are taken into account when estimating the fair value of the option at grant date. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effect of non- transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. If options remain unexercised after a period of 10 years from the date of grant, the options expire.
The vesting criteria of the options is based on the exit price (vesting of option on an exit event other than a listing) or the company value on the exercise date (vesting of option on listing). Across all option holders, 1.5% of the fully diluted share capital vested when the company completed the IPO in July 2022. A further 1% would vest when the company value exceeds £200m. A further 1% would vest when the company value exceeds £400m. 0.5% would vest when the company value exceeds £800m.
Under schemes listed below, options have been granted to subscribe for the following number of additional A Ordinary shares of £0.0001 each in the capital of the company.
The company granted share options on the 26 November 2021 with 138,888 options granted in respect of A Ordinary shares of £0.0001 each.
The EMI Options shall lapse on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, or if the Exit Event is a Listing, it shall lapse on the tenth anniversary of the Listing Date (other lapses conditions are outlined in the Options Agreement).
The company also granted non‑EMI options in the year, which were subsequently cancelled and re-issued post-year end. The revised non-EMI options updated the terms of the agreements to prevent dilution on a listing. Subject to the EMI options being capable of exercise in full, the recipients will be granted the option to acquire a number of A Ordinary shares which, when added to the A Ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the EMI options, equates to 4% of the fully diluted share capital. These options shall lapse on the same date as the EMI options.

(a) Removal of intangible asset (product exploitation rights)
As part of the due diligence process (in anticipation of the parent company Equipmake Plc being admitted to the Aquis Access Stock Exchange), it was identified that the treatment of the intangible asset for the product exploitation rights was not in accordance with FRS102. As a result, this amount has been removed as a prior year adjustment. The impact is as follows:
2020: £2,060,000 of cost removed from intangible assets, being the brought forward net book value. £240,000 of amortisation removed for the financial year.2021: £1,820,000 of cost removed from intangible assets, being the brought forward net book value. £240,000 of amortisation removed for the financial year.
(b) Additional accruals
During the review process of the interim accounts for 2022, it was identified that two unposted accruals that were immaterial to the May 2021 accounts were having a material impact on the 2022 interim figures. This adjustment only relates to the 2021 accounts. The amounts are as follows:
Commission payable totalling £24,000, levy charges totalling £35,220. Total adjustment of £59,220.
(c) Reclassification of costs between cost of sales and administrative expenses
In the previous year, there was a reclassification of £213,740 from Cost of Sales to Administration expenses due to an incorrect treatment of staff costs between the expenditure categories. Historically, the business has not included staffing as overheads, but as it has grown, it has recruited support staff and general management. This was the case in the prior year, which has led to the reclassification of staffing costs in expenditure.
(d) Reclassification of RDEC claim
Given that the RDEC R&D claims are classed as taxable income, the Company has decided to reclassify the gross RDEC claim as other income and show the
