Notes to the Accounts |
For the year ended 31 March 2023 |
|
|
|
1 |
Company information |
|
|
The company is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and registered at 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ. |
|
|
2 |
Accounting policies |
|
|
2.1 Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the Standard). |
|
|
2.2 Going concern |
|
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis even though at the balance sheet date the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets. The company reviewed its forecasts for the period to 31 March 2025 together with its expectations and intentions. Based on that review, the directors consider that the company will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of their approval of these accounts and therefore the going concern basis remains appropriate for preparing the company's accounts. The directors also believe that the accounts would not be materially different on any other basis. |
|
|
2.3 Functional and presentation currency |
|
The company's functional and presentation currency is Pound sterling ("£"). |
|
|
2.4 Turnover |
|
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of sale. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised on completion of the service. |
|
|
2.5 Tangible assets |
|
Tangible assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: |
|
Equipment and fittings |
over 4 years |
|
Van |
over 4 years |
|
|
2.6 Debtors |
|
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Longer term loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
|
|
2.7 Creditors |
|
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Longer term loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. |
|
|
|
2.8 Taxation |
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the accounts and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
|
2.9 Impairment |
|
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. |
|
|
2.10 Pension contributions |
|
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate. |
