NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2017

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Signal Ventures Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's
registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 33.33% Straight line

Financial instruments
The Company enters into financial statements transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and
liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and investments in
non-puttable ordinary shares, futures and options.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost in accordance with Section 11 of FRS 102 are
assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of
impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.

Listed fixed asset investments are carried at fair value. Revaluation gains/losses are recognised in the Income
Statement. Deferred tax is provided on these gains/losses at the rate expected to apply when the investments are
sold. Unlisted fixed asset investments are stated at historical cost less any provision for impairment.

Financial assets that are measured in accordance with Section 12 of FRS 102 are initially measured at fair value
on the date the contract is entered in to and are subsequently measured at fair value through the Income
Statement. Futures and options are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair
value is negative.

Financial liabilities that meet the conditions in Section 11 of FRS 102 are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities that are payable or receivable within one year are measured at
the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. If the arrangement
constitutes a financing transaction the company measures the financial liability at the present value of the future
payment discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar financial liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2017

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
The accounts are prepared using the United States Dollars ($USD) as the base currency and a Sterling (£GBP)
exchange rate of £1:$1.3491 (2016: £1:$1.2336) as at 31 December 2017.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into dollars at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance
sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into dollars 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. Contributions payable to the company's pension
scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 1 (2016 - 1 ) .
