NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

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 current accounting period has been shortened to nine months in order to align the Company's group reporting. As a result, the comparatives may not be entirely comparable.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Luno Money Limited has received written confirmation from its ultimate parent company, Luno Pte. Limited, that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover 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 turnover is recognised:
Rendering of services
Turnover from the intercompany service agreement 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 turnover can be measured reliably;
∙
it is probable that the Company 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.
Alongside the intercompany service agreement, the Company entered into an agency agreement with the parent company, Luno Pte. Limited, under which the Company provides agency services in relation to the opening and operating of third party broker accounts. The assets and liabilities in relation to this agreement are not recognised in these financial statements and any costs suffered in relation to providing these services are reimbursed in line with the intercompany service agreement.
Transaction processing income is recognised at the point a customer withdraws fiat currency from their wallet.
Other income represents amounts received in relation to input VAT reclaimed on expenses suffered in the previous year.

Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Operating leases: the Company 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.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
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 balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are intercompany loans. No interest is charged on the loans which are repayable on demand.

Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions.
Cash and cash equivalents include customer fund cash balances held on deposit for the parent company Luno Pte Limited.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Loans payable are intercompany loans. No interest is charged on the loans which are repayable on demand.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company 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 Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

|
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.
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020 was unqualified.
The audit report was signed on 10 May 2021 by
Louise Morriss BFP ACA FCCA
(Senior Statutory Auditor) on behalf of
ZEDRA Corporate Reporting Services (UK) Limited
