Clarification on Misapplication of Small Companies' Regime Provisions and Mandatory Comprehensive Income Statement FilingEdit

For the year ended 31st December 2022, the company has opted not to file the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime.[1]

To be considered a small company, the company must satisfy any 2 of the following things:

  • a turnover of £10.2 million or less;
  • £5.1 million or less on its balance sheet;
  • 50 employees or less.[2]

Note, the balance sheet total means the aggregate of the amounts shown as assets in the company's balance sheet.[3] In other words, the relevant amount is total assets, and not net assets. Multiple sources confirm that the balance sheet total refers to the total assets (and not net assets​​).[4][5][6]

The company has 77 employees, and £6.2 million in total assets[1], and, therefore, Arctic Shores does not satisfy the small companies' regime provision.

Accordingly, the company:

  • has used the provision incorrectly.
  • must file its comprehensive income statement.

Is anyone able to verify the accuracy of the conclusion?

According to Companies House accounts guidance: “If a company qualified as small in one year, but no longer meets the criteria in the next year - it may continue to claim the exemptions available in the next year.”[1]
Arctic Shores qualified as small in one year (i.e. 2021), but no longer meets the criteria in the next year (i.e. 2022).
Accordingly, the company:
  • may continue to claim the exemptions available in the next year (i.e. 2022);
  • has used the provision correctly; and
  • does not need to file its comprehensive income statement.
Is anyone able to verify the accuracy of the conclusion?

Series B ValuationEdit

The Stockhub users calculate the valuation as of £21.98 million (for the calculation, see the 'Arctic Shores Series B valuation calculation' table in this report below). However, according to Dealroom.co estimates, the firm valuation is between $30m and $46m (or between £25m and £38m when converted into British Pounds) as of January 2023. The valuation is based on either of: the publicly disclosed value, or an estimate that is based on the last funding round amount, using similar rounds as benchmarks.

Inconsistency in Share Allotment ReportingEdit

On the 5th July 2019, the company filed its confirmation statement, showing that the total number of shares of the company as at 28th June 2019 is 3,986,061 shares.[9]

On 22nd August 2019, the company filed a SH01 statement, detailing that between 14th August 2019 and 16th August 2019 (i.e. after the aforementioned confirmation statement), the company allotted 55,780 shares.[10]

According to my calculation, as a result of the allotted, shares, the total number of shares of the company increased to 4,041,841 shares (3,986,061 shares + 55,780 shares). However, the SH01 statement shows the total number of shares as unchanged at 3,986,061 shares.[10]

Does anyone know whether that's a mistake? 95.149.241.208 10:29, 28 October 2023 (BST)Reply[reply]
