2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have |
taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the |
company's auditors are aware of that information. |
|
AUDITORS |

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |

BRADFORD BREAKTHROUGH LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02454507) |
|
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 |
|
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with |
applicable law and regulations. |
|
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors |
have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting |
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The |
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not |
approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the |
company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors |
are required to: |
|
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- |
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will
continue in business. |
|
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's |
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to |
ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the |
assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other |
irregularities. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
BRADFORD BREAKTHROUGH LIMITED |
|
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Bradford Breakthrough Limited (the 'company') for the year ended |
31 December 2019 which comprise the Income Statement, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity |
and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting |
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of |
Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
|
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- |
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its deficit for the year then
ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
|
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our |
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial |
statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are |
relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our |
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is |
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
|
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you |
where: |
- |
the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not
appropriate; or |
- |
the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant
doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
|
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the |
Directors and the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of |
the Auditors thereon. |
|
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly |
stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
|
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, |
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in |
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material |
misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a |
material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a |
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
|
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- |
the information given in the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared
is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Directors has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
BRADFORD BREAKTHROUGH LIMITED |
|
|
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we |
have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Directors. |
|
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, |
in our opinion: |
- |
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from
branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
- |
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and
take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors. |
|
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, the directors are responsible |
for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal |
control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material |
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
|
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a |
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting |
unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do |
so. |
|
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material |
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable |
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will |
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered |
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users |
taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
|
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting |
Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
|
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies |
Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are |
required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do |
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit |
work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 |
|
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
Bradford Breakthrough Limited is a
|
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 (£). |
|
|
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
|
|
|
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions |
that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on |
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the |
circumstances. Details of these judgements can be found in the accounting policies. |
|
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, |
value added tax and other sales taxes. |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Fixtures and fittings | - |
|
|
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and |
the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to the income statement. |
|
Impairment of fixed assets |
At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to |
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication |
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if |
any). |
|
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an |
asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable |
amount. |
|
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. |

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the |
contractual provisions of the instrument. |
|
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially recorded at transaction price |
including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless |
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the |
future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are |
not amortised. |
|
Derecognition of financial assets |
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are |
settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to |
another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has |
transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party, |
|
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares |
that are classified as debt, are initially recorded at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing |
transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a |
market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
|
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of |
business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities in payment is due within one year or |
less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price |
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
Derecognition of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or |
cancelled. |
|
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 statement of financial position date. |
|
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement |
of financial position 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. |

|
Provisions for liabilities |
Provisions are made when an event has taken place that gives the company a legal or constructive obligation that |
probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of |
the obligation. |
|
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Income Statement in the year that the company becomes aware of the |
obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of Financial Position date of the expenditure |
required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. |
|
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of Financial |
Position. |
|
Going concern |
After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the |
company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company |
therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
