NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
AnTech Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales, registered number 02962739. The registered office is Unit 7 Newbery Commercial Centre, Exeter Airport Business Park, Exeter, Devon, EX5 2UL.
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
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 Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
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:
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 Statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
In previous years the Group has incurred significant expenditure in researching, developing and trialling new drilling equipment to service the oil and gas industry. The expenditure ultimately resulted in the Group making losses, whilst the services were being brought to market. The market has shown significant interest in these new service ranges, with revenue generated in both 2019 and 2020 for these. A significant contract was awarded for service revenue during the year ending 31 August 2021. It is anticipated that there is scope to build on this contract and significantly increase revenue and profits for services in the future.
In addition, the Group's long standing product sales activity continues to be profitable. The directors have considered the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 and what impact it will have on the ongoing operations of the business. There are risks to the business which could impact production of goods, supply of materials and demand for product and services.
The directors have reviewed the Group’s current stock holdings, working environment and future trading ability, and as a result anticipate that the business will be able to continue trading despite the difficulties posed as a result of COVID-19. In light of this, the directors consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
∙the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
∙the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
Development expenditure incurred on clearly defined projects whose outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty is carried forward and amortisation is charged over five years from the date on which commercial production commences.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
Freehold property is measured under the revaluation model, with all other tangible fixed assets being measured under the cost model. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rental tools and equipment
|
|
|
All assets are initially recorded at cost. The capitalisation threshold is £250.
Depreciation has been charged on rental tools based on a straight line basis, and these tools have an expected useful life between 5 and 10 years.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
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 first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.
At each reporting 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.
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.
|
|
|
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.
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 banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income.
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 reporting 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.

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.
The Group has taken advantage of the optional exemption available on transition to FRS 102 which allows lease incentives on leases entered into before the date of transition to the standard 01 September 2019 to continue to be charged over the period to the first market rent review rather than the term of the lease.
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 Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.
|
|
|
CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 reporting date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
∙Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021 was qualified.
The qualification in the audit report was as follows:
We were not able to obtain sufficient evidence over the timing of future service revenue streams, to support the carrying value of tangible and intangible fixed assets. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the valuation of assets directly attributed to the drilling service division as at 31 August 2021, which are included in the balance sheet at £3,819,546, by using other audit procedures.
Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any impairment to the carrying value of these assets were necessary.
The audit report was signed on 27 May 2022 by Fleur Lewis FCA (Senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Bishop Fleming LLP.

JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
|
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.
Carrying value of intangible and tangible assets
Management assesses the probability of expected future economic benefits using reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent their best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist over the useful life of the asset. Due to the specialised nature of the assets judgement is used to assess the degree of certainty attached to the flow of future economic benefits and the technical feasibility and success of the various projects.
In reviewing for impairment, the carrying value of such assets is compared to the estimated discounted cashflows expected from the use of the assets which involves significant estimates on the part of management.
If there is a material change in economic conditions, climate or other circumstances influencing the estimate of future cash flows or fair value the Group could be required to recognise impairment charges in the future. With the uncertainties over the global impact of COVID-19 and fluctuating oil prices management have this is under constant review.
Useful economic life of intangibles assets
The annual amortisation charge is sensitive to any changes in the estimated useful economic life and residual values of intangible assets.
Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge is sensitive to any changes in the estimated useful life and residual values of tangible assets. The useful economic lives and residual value is assessed on an annual basis and are amended only when evidence shows a change in the estimated economic lives or residual life. Criteria used to assess the economic life and residual value includes technological advancement, economic utilisation, physical condition of the asset and future investments.
Impairment of stocks
The Group's products are subject to changing market demand. It is therefore necessary to consider on a periodic basis the recoverability of the cost of stocks and the associated impairment. Management calculates impairments by considering the nature and condition of the stocks and applies assumptions around anticipated saleability of finished goods and future usage of raw materials, overheads and labour.
Impairment of debtors
On a periodic basis management makes an estimation of the recoverability of debtors. Management makes such estimations based on the credit rating of debtors, the ageing profile, and historical experience.

Employees
The company has four Enterprise Management Incentive schemes for thirty three (2020: thirteen) employees (including executive directors). Two of the options are exercisable at 5.0p and 15.5p per share. The exercise of these options is also dependant on meeting the criteria stipulated by the option agreements, being an agreed length of service to the company. The options are settled in equity once exercised. If the options remain unexercised after a period of ten years from the date of the grant, the options expire. Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the company before the options vest. The Directors believe that the fair value of the options are not material and no share based payment has therefore been recognised in the financial statements.
The other options are exercisable at 5.1p per share, and are dependant on a non-market performance condition. The options are settled in equity once exercised. If the options remain unexercised after a period of ten years from the date of the grant, the options expire. Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the company before the options vest. The Directors believe that the non market condition will not currently be met and therefore no share based payment has been recognised in the financial statements.
The company has an unapproved share option scheme for three (2020: three) employees. The options are exercisable at 15.5p and 5.1p per share. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant or if the employee leaves the employment of the company before the options are exercised. The options are settled in equity. If the option remains unexercised after a period of ten years from the date of grant, the options expire. If the employee leaves the company the options are forfeited if not exercised within a further six months.
Details of the number of share options at the year end are as follows:
Number of shares -1,324,511 (2020: 2,110,804).
In addition to the above, 378,370 (2020: 378,370) shares are held in an employee benefit trust under a Share Incentive Plan for all employees. The matching shares are held in trust for three years.
