STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with |
applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have |
elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice |
(United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the |
financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of |
the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's |
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to |
ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the |
assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

society, impacted global travel and supply chains, adversely impacted global commercial activity, the transportation industry |
and commodity prices in energy sector. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to its |
ultimate impact, which may have a continued adverse effect on the economic and market conditions and trigger a period of |
global economic slowdown. Such conditions, which may be across industries, sectors or geographies, may impact operating |
performance of the company in near term. |
Subsequent events have been evaluated the date independent auditors' report, which is the date of consolidated financial |
statements were approved by management and available to be issued. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE PERIOD 9 OCTOBER 2018 TO 31 DECEMBER 2019 |
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small |
companies. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SIGNIFYD UK LTD |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Signifyd Uk Ltd (the 'company') for the period ended 31 December 2019 which |
comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant |
accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and |
United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard |
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its profit for the period then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our |
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial |
statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are |
relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our |
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is |
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you |
where: |
- | the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or |
- | the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the |
Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly |
stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, |
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in |
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material |
misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material |
misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material |
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Directors has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SIGNIFYD UK LTD |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we |
have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, |
in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
- | the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page two, the directors are responsible for |
the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal |
control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material |
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going |
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless |
the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material |
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable |
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will |
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material |
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on |
the basis of these financial statements. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting |
Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies |
Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are |
required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do |
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit |
work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, |
value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment |
losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working |
condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration costs and borrowing costs capitalised. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates on a straight-line basis in order to write off each asset over its |
estimated useful life. |
Computer Equipment - 33% on cost |
Long Leasehold - 10% on cost |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting |
period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively. |
Repairs, maintenance and minor inspection costs are expensed as incurred. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the |
extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |

Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance |
sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from |
those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that |
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the |
timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will |
be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance |
sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of |
transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
