NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Cockroach Labs UK Limited is a private company limited by shaers incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered address is 5 New Street Square, London, United Kingdom, EC4A 3TW. |
The financial statements are presented in US Dollars ($), monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest $. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Judgements in applying accounting policies |
In the application of the company's accounting policies which are detailed in note 2, the only key judgement made by the directors is: |
Share based payments |
As part of their ongoing service to the company, employees are granted options to purchase shares in the parent undertaking. The company determines the fair value of these options at grant date, then recognises the cost over the vesting period which ranges between 1 month and 4 years. The Black Scholes model is used to value these stock options, with key assumptions being stock volatility which is based on historic volatility of listed peer companies and the risk fee rate which is based on the relevant market date at grant date. |
Revenue |
Turnover is derived from recharged expenses to the parent company and is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year 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. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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 year 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. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme 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. |
Share based payments |
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 balance sheet 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-marketing 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 Company 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. |
