NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIODED 31
DECEMBER 2022
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
GS Chain Plc is a public 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.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the
Pound Sterling (GBP).
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The unaudited interim condensed unaudited financial statements
for the period ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not
include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS
financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are
included to explain events and transactions that are significant to
an understanding of the changes in the Company's financial position
and performance since the last annual consolidated financial
statements as at the year ended 30 June 2022. The results for the
period ended 31 December 2022 are unaudited.
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the
period ended 31 December 2022 have adopted accounting policies
consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's
annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022.
Going Concern
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future and therefore continues to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing its financial Information.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation
uncertainty
The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses
during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management
evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets,
liabilities and expenses. Management uses historical experience and
various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given
circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual
outcomes may differ from these estimates.
The most significant judgment relates to the adoption of the
going concern basis given the Company is newly incorporated and has
not recorded any revenue since the date of incorporation.
The directors consider the Company's cash balances to be
sufficient given the cash burn rate of the Company since listing on
London Stock Exchange to ensure the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from
the authorization of these financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash represents cash in hand and deposits held on demand with
financial institutions. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less
(as at their date of acquisition). Cash equivalents are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an
insignificant risk of change in that cash value.
In the presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and
cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts. Any such overdrafts
are shown within borrowings under 'current liabilities' on the
Statement of Financial Position.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Taxation
Tax on profit or loss for the period comprises current and
deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of loss.
and comprehensive loss except to the extent that it relates to
items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized
in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income
for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous periods.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The following temporary differences are not provided for: the
initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither
accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner
of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
the statement of financial position date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which the asset can be utilized.

leverage state of the art technology in automotive, fintech, real
estate, banking, finance, telecommunications, and blockchain
industries.

Risks arising from financial assets and liabilities
The following summarises the principal risks associated with the
Company's financial assets and liabilities and how those risks are
managed.
Liquidity and capital risk management
The Company's capital structure consists of items in
shareholders' equity (deficiency). The Company's objectives when
managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and
benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital
structure to reduce the cost of capital.
This is done primarily through equity financing. Future
financings are dependent on market conditions. There were no
changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the
period.
The Company has adequate sources of capital to complete its
business plan, current obligations and ultimately the development
of its business over the long term and will need to raise adequate
capital by obtaining equity financing and/or incurring debt.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to
meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at 31 December
2022, the Company had a cash balance of GBP221,604 to settle
current liabilities of GBP212,287. The Company's current financial
liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on
demand and are subject to normal trade terms.
Interest rate risk
The Company does not currently have financial instruments that
expose the Company to significant interest rate risk as the Company
does not have any debt that bears variable interest rate.
Currency risk
The Company's financial instruments are currently all
denominated in British Pounds.
Price risk
The Company does not hold any equity securities and therefore is
not exposed to price risk.
Credit risk
The Company does not currently have any receivable and therefore
is not exposed to credit risk.
8. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
31 December 2022 30 June 2022
GBP GBP
Bank accounts 221,604 953,838

sheet amounts.
