Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the
matter
Key observations communicated
to those charged with
Equity and Warrants Issuance
The warrants issued to investors
are subject to judgement in both
classification and valuation.
The classification of the warrants
is complex and must consider the
nature and details of the
instrument contracts to
determine the correct
classification between equity and
liabilities.
Further the fair value of these
warrants was determined using
the Black Scholes option pricing
methodology which considered
the exercise price, expected
volatility, risk free rate, expected
dividends and expected term of
the warrants which is complex
and involves estimates and
judgements.
Financial statement impact:
£2,413,000 (PY: 2,032,000).
The accounting policies on pages
20 and 21 sets out the treatment
applied by management, and
related disclosures are presented
in note 14.
We obtained an understanding of
management’s assessment for
the classification of these
instruments and the rationale for
their classification.
We reviewed, in conjunction with
our Technical Director the
classification of these instruments
and management’s assessment in
accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 9
and we challenged management
on their assessment.
Valuation
We obtained the valuation report
prepared by management’s
expert and reviewed the
credentials and inputs used.
We performed the review of and
validation of the valuation
assumptions, methodology and
calculations in respect of the
valuation of the instruments and
determined whether it was in
accordance with the
requirements of IFRS 9 and IFRS
13.
Disclosure
We reviewed the relevant
disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements in
accordance with the
requirements of the IFRS as
adopted by the European Union
and performed a financial
statement disclosure checklist
utilising specialist software.
performed, we are satisfied that
management’s judgements and
estimates in respect of the
valuation and classification of
warrants for the year ended 30
June 2023, along with the related
disclosures in the consolidation
financial statements, are
appropriate.
We have nothing to report to
those charged with governance
from our testing.
Our Application of Materiality
Materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole was set at £341,000 (PY: £226,000), determined
with reference to a benchmark of net assets, of which it represents 4.5% (PY: 2.5%).
In line with our audit methodology, our procedures on individual account balances and disclosures were
performed to a lower threshold, performance materiality, so as to reduce to an acceptable level the risk that
individually immaterial misstatements in individual account balances add up to a material amount across the
consolidated financial statements as a whole.
