Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2019 |
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
Naxos Music UK Limited is a
|
registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Critical accounting estimates and judgements |
Estimates and assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made by the management in the |
preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Company's accounting policies, |
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosures made. They are assessed on an |
on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are |
believed to be reasonable in the period of revision and future periods, in case the revision also effects future |
periods. |
|
Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the |
revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably and on the following bases: |
|
Sales of products is recognised on transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the |
time when products are delivered to customers and the title has passed. |
|
Handling and distribution fees, download, streaming income and service income are recognised when services are |
rendered. |
|
Subscription income is recognised when services are provided under the terms of the online subscription |
agreements. Payments received in advance of providing services are recorded as deferred revenue and amortised |
to revenue over the term of agreement. |
|
Licencing income and royalty income are recognised as revenue based on the contract terms. |
|
Interest income from bank deposits and loans to fellow subsidiaries is accrued on a time basis, by reference to |
the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided on the straight line method in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life |
or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is shorter, as follows: |
|
Plant & machinery | - 3 & 5 years |
Fixtures & fittings | - over the period of the lease |
Motor vehicles | - 4 years |
Computer equipment | - 3 years |
Improvements to property | - over the period of the lease |
|
Stocks |
Stocks of finished goods have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell, after |
making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
|
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. |

|
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |

|
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. |
|
Recording costs |
Production costs are written off evenly over a 12 month period from the date when new recordings are first |
released for sale. |
|
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. |
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the |
lease. |
|
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates defined contribution pension schemes. The assets of the schemes are held and controlled |
by independently administered funds. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the profit and loss |
account. |
|
Royalties |
Royalties and licensing income is recognised on an accruals basis. |
|
Short term debtors & creditors |
Short term debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising |
from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account. |
