NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020

Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of
Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006
.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Turnover represents revenue earned from the staging of events. Revenue is recognised when the events are staged and it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company. It is exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
Amounts received in advance with respect to events occurring during future periods are deferred and recognised in the period the event occurs. These amounts are shown in other creditors.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
|
|
25% on straight line basis
|
|
|
|
|
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
|
|
25% and 33% on straight line basis
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020

Accounting policies (continued)
Grants are accounted under the accruals model. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.
|
|
Basic financial instruments
|
The company only enters into transactions that result in basic financial instruments such as trade debtors, other debtors, trade creditors, other creditors, cash at bank and in hand and loans with related parties.
Trade debtors, other debtors and loans to related parties are recognised initially at the transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade creditors, other creditors and loans from related parties are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors, other debtors and loans to related parties.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.
|
|
Foreign currency translation
|
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the company.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss account.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable.
The company contributes to a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of Financial Position date, except that:
• The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
• Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 6
(2019 -
6
)
.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020
The company contributes to a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £3,641 (2019 - £1,975). No contributions (2019 - £314) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date.

Post balance sheet events
|
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the company’s business. The company’s business is the hiring of events and exhibition space at Old Billingsgate Market. Since 20 March 2020 and the Government’s first lockdown imposed on the country it has not been possible for the company to hold the types of events usually held at Old Billingsgate Market.
In order to mitigate risks the following steps have been taken:
∙
Furloughing all but vital employees until the resumption of trade or the end of the Furlough scheme, whichever event occurs earlier. Employees are placed on flexible furlough so that they can be brought in to work as and when necessary.
∙
The deferment of statutory liabilities due to HMRC.
∙
Obtaining the enhanced retail and hospitality business rates relief for its Old Billingsgate premises.
∙
Negotiating rent free periods from the company’s landlord for the periods from April 2020 to and including June 2021. The landlord remains committed to supporting the company through the covid-impacted period.
∙
The rescheduling of booked events to periods after the anticipated resumption of events and exhibition activities.
The company has many repeat clients that return to Old Billingsgate. These clients are keen to reschedule their events and to return to Old Billingsgate for their events where possible. Good relationships are being maintained with these clients both directly and via the company’s booking agent for the future.
It is positive news that there are multiple Covid-19 vaccines now approved in the UK, and that the UK Government has to date been successful in both securing supplies of the vaccines and the rollout of vaccinations to the UK population. Accordingly it is hoped that around Autumn 2021 events will resume being hosted at Old Billingsgate.
On 22 February 2021 the Government announced a ‘roadmap’ out of lockdown restrictions. Some key dates and hopes for easing of lockdown restrictions are (i) 12 April 2021: reopening non-essential retail, re-opening hospitality venues to serve outdoors. (ii) 17 May 2021: re-opening hospitality venues indoors, reopening indoor entertainment venues. (iii) 21 June: remove limits on social contact, re-opening of nightclubs, permit large events. If lockdown is eased in line with these dates then this will steadily improve the UK economy. This will have a positive effect on the company.
Brexit is not anticipated to affect the company.
The company's parent undertaking is Ely & Sidney Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales.
