The financial statements are presented in British Pound Sterling ("GBP" or "£"), which is the Company's functional currency as the Company's primary business transactions and majority of overall transactions are conducted in GBP. The Directors consider GBP as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions of the Company.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated from currencies other than GBP ("foreign currencies") to GBP (the "functional currency") at the rate prevailing at the period end date. Income and expenses are translated from foreign currencies to the functional currency at the rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company's Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income when there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and the Fund intends to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and liability simultaneously.

The Company's financial assets comprise of receivables and cash at amortised cost and investments held at fair value through profit and loss.

Receivables

With the exception of receivables related to investments, receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They principally comprise trade and other receivables. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provisions for impairment. The effect of discounting on these financial instruments is not considered to be material.

For assets measured at amortised cost, IFRS 9 requires an assessment of impairment based on providing for expected losses. The Company has chosen to apply an impairment approach similar to the simplified approach for expected credit losses under IFRS 9 for the Company's receivables. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on life time expected credit losses at each reporting date. This approach takes into account historic observed loss rates over the expected life of the receivables, and is adjusted for forward looking estimates.

Investments at fair value through profit or loss

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash in hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash with an original maturity of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. As at 31 December 2023 cash and cash equivalents consists only of cash at bank.

International Financial Reporting Standard 13, "Fair Value Measurement" recommends investments treated as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" to be subsequently measured at fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under IFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

The Board has delegated responsibility for carrying out the fair valuation of the Company's portfolio to the Investment Manager.

Investments are reported as having the fair value estimated by the Investment Manager at the reporting date. The fair value of the Company's investments in SuperSeed Fund II LP and other future investments will be calculated in accordance with International Private Equity and Venture Capital ("IPEV") valuation guidelines. Under IPEV guidelines, the fair value of unquoted investments can be calculated using a number of approaches, broadly categorised under three headings, Income Approach, Market Approach and Replacement Cost.

Given the type and stage of investments, the Investment Manager will seek to take a Market Approach where possible, most often based on calibration to the price of the recent investment and market multiples. Alternative methodologies may be considered in accordance with IPEV.

It is the opinion of the Directors, that the IPEV valuation methodology used in deriving a fair value is not materially different from the fair value requirements of IFRS 13.

All valuations made by the Investment Manager will be made, in part, on valuation information provided by the portfolio companies of SuperSeed Fund II LP alongside other future investments. Although the Investment Manager will evaluate all such information and data, it may not be able to confirm the completeness, genuineness or accuracy of such information or data. In addition, the financial reports provided by the Portfolio Companies may be provided only on a quarterly basis and generally will be issued one to two months after their respective valuation dates. Consequently, each quarterly Net Asset Value is likely to contain information that may be out of date and require updating and completing. Shareholders should bear in mind that the actual Net Asset Values at such time may be materially different from the quarterly valuations.

Investment income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

The classification of financial liabilities at initial recognition depends on the purpose for which the financial liability was issued and its characteristics.

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. All purchases of financial liabilities are recorded on trade date, being the date on which the Company becomes party to the contractual requirements of the financial liability. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial liabilities approximate to their fair values. The Company's financial liabilities consist of only financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.

In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, the Company is required to present and disclose segmental information. The Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is the Board, is of the opinion that the Company is engaged in a single segment of business through its investment portfolio, with the aim of providing long-term returns through capital appreciation to shareholders. The financial information used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to manage the Company presents the business as a single segment.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

IFRS requires the Directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability in future periods.

The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements include the valuation of investments. The Company's investment into SuperSeed II LP is measured at the net asset value of the Company's investment at year end. The underlying investments of SuperSeed II LP are valued in accordance with the IPEV methodology in which unlisted investments are carried at such fair value as is considered appropriate by the Investment Manager. The investment in Duel Holdings has been valued at fair value and in Kluster Enterprises Limited at recent round of financing. The models used to determine fair values are validated and periodically reviewed by the Investment Manager. Refer to note 2 (d) for further disclosure details.

Income and expenses

Operating income and expenses have been accounted for on an accruals basis, and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period which they are incurred.

Management fees

Management fees are accounted for on an accruals basis and are measured at the fair value of the consideration paid.

The Directors, and the Investment Manager having considered the Company's objectives and available resources along with its projected income and expenditure, are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company adopts an "Overcommitment Policy" in order to reduce the cash reserves held by the Company that have not been called by its commitment-based investments. In order to meet ongoing investment commitments, the Company may utilise any cash reserves held, incur borrowings, issue new share capital or sell assets in order to realise their value. The Directors are cognisant of potential capital calls from underlying investments. Loans can also be drawn from the Investment Manager under the Convertible Loan Note Instrument entered into on 14 September 2022, if required. The Directors do not consider there to be any threat to the going concern status of the Company.

For these reasons, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
