NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODED 30 JUNE 2018
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Baskerville Capital plc is a public limited company registered and incorporated in the England and Wales. The Company's principal activities are described in the Directors' Report. The Company's registered office and principal place of business is c/o Locke Lord, 2(nd) floor, 201 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3AB.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling (GBP) which is the functional currency of the company.
An overview of standards, amendments and interpretations to IFRSs issued but not yet effective, and which have not been adopted early by the Company are presented below under 'Statement of Compliance'.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. At the date of authorisation of these financial statements the following Standards and Interpretations affecting the Company, which have not been applied in these financial statements, were in issue, but not yet effective. The company does not plan to adopt these standards early.
-- Amendments to IFRS 2 Share Based Payment (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
-- IFRS 15 Clarification of Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
-- IFRS 16 Leases (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
Going Concern
The directors have assessed the Company's position as at 30 June 2018 and consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. There are cash reserves of GBP1.6m which the directors consider sufficient to ensure that the Company will be able to continue to meet its commitments as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Segment reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.
The directors are of the opinion that the Company is not currently engaged in any more than a single sector as it has not yet traded and has incurred only set up fees and the costs of running a business for the period. The Company is based in the United Kingdom and accordingly, no segmental analysis is considered necessary.
Expenses
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis and are presented through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Share based payments
All share based payments are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 - Share-based payments. The Company issues equity-settled share based payments in the form of options and warrants to certain directors and employees. Equity settled share based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of equity-settled share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
Share based payments (continued)
Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, on the basis of management's best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. At each balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings.
Taxation
Current taxation is the taxation currently payable on taxable profit for the year.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice value less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.
Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Trade payables
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Financial instruments
The Company's financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's financial liabilities comprise trade payables. Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or other financial assets and are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Equity
Equity comprises the following:
-- "Share capital" represents the nominal value of equity shares.
-- "Share premium" represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue.
-- "Share option reserve" represents the value of warrants and options issued.
-- "Retained losses" represents cumulative net gains and losses recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statement in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. These estimates and assumptions are based upon management's knowledge and experience of the amounts, events or actions. Actual results may differ from such estimates.
3. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
The Company is organised around one business class and the results are reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker according to this class. There is one continuing class of business, being the investment in the medical technology industry.
Given that there is only one continuing class of business, operating within the UK no further segmental information has been provided.

EQUITY SETTLED SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The Company operates share-based payment arrangements to remunerate directors and key employees in the form of options and warrants. The Company also issued warrants to shareholders during the period. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market based vesting conditions) at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market based vesting conditions.
The following table sets out the details of these options granted:

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, cash flow interest rate risk and equity price risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors.
(a) Capital management
The Company's objectives when managing capital are:
-- to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it continues to provide returns and benefits for shareholders;
-- to support the Company's growth; and
-- to provide capital for the purpose of strengthening the Company's risk management capability.
The Company actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure an optimal capital structure and equity holder returns, taking into consideration the future capital requirements of the Company and capital efficiency, prevailing and projected profitability, projected operating cash flows, projected capital expenditures and projected strategic investment opportunities. Management regards total equity as capital and reserves, for capital management purposes.
(b) Credit risk
The main credit risk relates to liquid funds held at banks. The credit risk in respect of these bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Company seeks to manage financial risk, to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs.
An analysis of trade and other payables is given in note 10. These payables are payable within a year.
