STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 1 -
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the company during the year continued to be that of a personal lines insurance intermediary.
Fair review of the business
Revenues year on year have decreased 45% as COVID-19 and the UK national lockdown impacted the markets in which the company operates. This was particularly prevalent within the new young drivers, as the number of new drivers market, registering and the number of driving tests taken were restricted through the period. This impacted new business volumes, which were materially below the historical trends, this in turn reduced brokerage. Brokerage has also been impacted by the withdrawal of some insurers from the distressed driver market.
A number of one-off restructuring costs were made in 2020 in relation to the rightsizing of the cost base to align with revenues in the year. The restructuring costs were focussed on streamlining processes and updating infrastructure. The directors expect these initiatives to continue to deliver cost savings in future periods.
The company’s results for the year ended 31 December 2020 report a loss before tax of £1,484,883 (2019 Profit - £3,285,560). The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the period were as follows:
|

Turnover / (Loss)/Profit Before Tax

|
|
Staff costs as a percentage of turnover increased from 41% to 60% in 2020 and (loss)/profit as a percentage of turnover moved from 18% in 2019 to -15% in 2020, both KPIs were driven by the headwinds created by COVID 19 and the UK national lockdown, the withdrawal of some insurers from the distressed driver market and the impact of costs in relation to operational change initiatives. Staff costs above include furlough amounts recovered from the UK Government.
Financial position at the reporting date
The statement of financial position shows that the Company’s net assets at the year-end have decreased from £1,821,399 as at 31 December 2019 to £336,516 as at 31 December 2020.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic continue to impact the business operations and performance. See the Directors report for details.
Future developments
As described in the Directors report the company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement in relation to the disposal of the business and customer relating to the motor insurance books which include the brands Ladybird Insurance, Autosaint, First for insurance and InsureOK. The remaining business will operate with a right sized footprint and leverage the distribution network within the wider Kingfisher Group.
The FCA fair pricing rules will impact the insurance sector in 2022. The impact will be seen most noticeably in intermediaries with differing pricing treatment between new and renewal business in personal lines. Fresh Insurance Services Group Limited will be fully compliant with all requirements relating to Fair Pricing and Fair Value by the 1 January 2022. Fresh Insurance Services Group Limited is well placed to take advantage of the impact in the sector as the business has a robust product understanding, product governance framework and pricing practices.
FRESH INSURANCE SERVICES GROUP LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Principal risks and uncertainties
The company's principal risks are considered to be:
Market risk:
The increased influence of the internet and price comparison websites (PCW) continues to change the UK business environment. Rises in PCW marketing costs and market pressures on pricing to win business remain a challenge that faces the business. The company has invested in both technology and analytical personnel to gain greater data insights to mitigate this risk.
Insurance specific developments in technology such as telematic systems and machine learning are also likely material drivers of market change. The company has put in place strategies and has recruited data experts to the senior management team to meet these challenges. In addition, the market is dominated by a few large insurance companies who can change operating practices and potentially buy in greater market share. The company manages market risk by maintaining a broad panel of insurers and monitoring revenue trends.
Operating risk:
The Company's exposure to losses arise from inadequate or failed internal processes, from fraud and failure of data systems and from external events. It is a critical requirement that our systems not only serve today but stay in line with the huge technological shifts the industry is experiencing. This is managed by having in place comprehensive policies for business continuity planning and robust compliance procedures. Ongoing investment into IT infrastructure, including cybercrime prevention, the call centre operation and our online journey is designed to minimise the risk in these areas.
Regulatory risk
:
Changes to the regulatory environment or requirements may result in intervention and financial or reputational loss. The company mitigates these risks by ensuring that its governance and culture identify changes or issues at an early stage and allow the implementation of appropriate strategies to ensure compliance. A dedicated Group compliance function maintains open communication channels with the FCA.
The UK’s exit from the EU presents a risk to the company, however, this is mainly due to the possible effects on the UK economy and insurer exposure and changes in risk appetite (issues that will affect the whole sector) rather than a direct loss of capacity.
Liquidity risk:
The Company manages its cash and borrowing requirements centrally to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring the Company has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of its business. Client’s monies are held with approved banks and cleared funds have to be available before payment is made.
Interest rate risk:
The Company operations are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations only as it affects interest earning assets.
Credit risk:
Investment of cash surpluses and borrowings are made through banks and companies which must fulfil credit rating criteria approved by the board. All customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Debtor balances are monitored on an on-going basis and provision is made for doubtful debts where necessary.

Research and development
During the period, the company continued to fund the development of a loss ratio model by the use of data warehousing to mitigate risk and maximise capacity.
The Company has also continued to fund the development of telematics based products and services as part of its overall strategy to extend its product offering.
Post reporting date events
During the year the Company made no political donations (2019: £nil).
It is not possible to quantify the total impact of Covid-19 on the business at this current time but the on-going impact is being monitored closely by the Directors. The Company also undertook a further consultation process with all staff in relation to the proposals to both TUPe contracts and restructure the business into two operating units - one broking and one underwriting in 2021. This will put the consolidated business on a sound footing to come out of the pandemic with an appropriate cost base and ready to continue to grow the business as markets recover.
On 1 April 2021 the company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement in relation to the disposal of the business and customer relating to the motor insurance books which include the brands Ladybird Insurance, Autosaint, First for insurance and InsureOK. Completion took place on 12 April 2021 which is the effective date of the purchase. Consideration for the purchase, which was payable in cash, was £1,270,000 exclusive of VAT of which £400,000 was payable six months post completion.
Auditor
LB Group Limited (Chelmsford) were appointed as auditor to the company.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Statement of disclosure to auditor
So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s
auditors are
unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the
company's auditors are
aware of that information.
Ongoing impact of COVID 19 pandemic
The directors have been monitoring the impact of COVID 19, which commended in 2020, on the Company, the market and indirectly through reviewing the government policy. The main considerations have are set out below.
Operational
The Company has taken steps to protect its employees and the business from the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. These steps include utilisation of the implementation of certain disaster recovery actions to enable a sage working environment for employees, and limiting all face to face contact, where advised. The Company’s IT facilities remain adequate to maintain operations in the pandemic environment and the foreseeable future.
The directors remain mindful of the impact on individual staff members and have taken a number of steps to support their mental health.
Revenue
The COVID 19 pandemic and subsequent UK national lockdown has impacted markets in which the company operates. The primary sector being leisure, particularly Tourer and Motorhome sales suffered under the lock down period with 2020 income levels dropping off compared with 2019 as the closure of caravan sites and social distancing has put pressure on new business sales and hence brokerage.
The medium and longer term impact of the COVID 19 pandemic is yet to be clear however, with the vaccination release in later 2020 and the likelihood of further lockdowns receding, the directors see no reason why the market should not recover back to pre-pandemic levels

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 5 -
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report 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). 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 profit or loss 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.
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
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.
FRESH INSURANCE SERVICES GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF FRESH INSURANCE SERVICES GROUP LIMITED
- 6 -
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Fresh Insurance Services Group Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102
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 2020 and of its loss 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.
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
Auditor's
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
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 our audit
:
-
the information given in the strategic report and the directors'
r
eport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements
; and
-
the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF FRESH INSURANCE SERVICES GROUP 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 identifie
d
material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors'
r
eport
.
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
remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors'
r
esponsibilities
s
tatement, 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 is 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.
Auditor's 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 an
auditor's
report 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
.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below
.
FRESH INSURANCE SERVICES GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF FRESH INSURANCE SERVICES GROUP LIMITED
- 8 -
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including, but not limited to, fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations was as follows:
-
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the insurance brokerage sector;
-
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, FCA compliance, employment legislation and health and safety legislation;
-
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing returns submitted to the FCA and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
Identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
Reviewed the internal controls in place, specifically around payroll and bank transactions; and
-
Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates around
provisions
were indicative of potential bias.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing returns submitted to the FCA and correspondence with the company’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and comprehensive income of the group.

1.3
Turnover
Turnover comprises commission receivable, fees for the arrangement of insurances, and other ancillary income derived from the business of insurance broking.
Turnover from affinity relationships comprises commission receivable from a broker, acting on behalf of an Insurance Company, who has no access to the non-standard Home insurance products the Company provides.
The Company recognises revenue when: the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and specific criteria have been met for each of the companies activities.
1.4
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Software
3 years straight line
1.5
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets
are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Office equipment
33% straight line
Furniture and fittings
25% straight line
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 profit or loss
.
1.6
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting
period
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). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
company

1.8
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset
, with
the net amounts presented in the financial statements
,
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include
debtors
and cash and bank balances, are initially measured 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.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in
profit
or
loss
, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those
held
at
fair value through profit and loss
, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
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.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

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 recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of
the future
paymen
ts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method.
Trade creditors
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired
in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. A
m
ounts payable are classified as
current liabilities if 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.
Other financial liabilities
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts,
are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
s
ubsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in
profit
or
loss
in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as
being measured at
fair value th
r
ough profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations
expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the
profit and loss account
because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The
company’s
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the
profit and loss account
, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the
company
has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.10
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the
company
has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the
company
will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision i
s
measured at present value
,
the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in
profit
or
loss
in the period
in which
it arises.
1.11
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or
fixed assets
.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.13
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases,
including
any lease incentives received, are charged to
profit or loss
on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease
s
asset are consumed.

1.14
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive
d
or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
Government grants relating to turnover are recognised as income over the periods when the related costs are incurred
. Grants relating to an asset are recognised in income systematically over the asset's expected useful life. If part of such a grant is deferred it is recognised as deferred income rather than being deducted from the asset's carrying amount.
2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are
as follows.
Recoverability of receivables
The company establishes a provision for receivables that are estimated not to be recoverable. When assessing recoverability the directors consider factors such as the ageing of receivables, past experience of recoverability, and the credit profile of individual or groups of customers.
Provisions
PCL liability arises in relation to insurance policies sold to clients who purchase the policy through financing arrangements through Premium Credit Limited ("PCL"). In the event that clients default on their repayments to Premium Credit the company is obligated to repay Premium Credit any monies paid to the Company in relation to outstanding instalments and the liability represents future amounts to be refunded based on previous history of default. The Company would be entitled to recover such amounts from the client and therefore a corresponding asset matching the liability has been raised and included within other debtors. In so far as any amounts are deemed unlikely to be recovered they are included in the bad debt provision. As at the period end any potential repayment to PCL would take place within 12 months.

The deferred tax asset set out above is expected to reverse within 12 months and relates to the utilisation of tax losses against future expected profits of the same period.
The Finance Act 2016, which received Royal Assent on 15 September 2016, enacted a reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 19% to 17% effective from 1 April 2020. However, legislation introduced in the Finance Act 2020 (enacted on 22 July 2020) repealed the reduction of the corporation tax, thereby maintaining the current rate of 19%. Deferred taxes on the balance sheet have been measured at 19% (2019 – 17%) which represents the future corporation tax rate that was enacted at the balance sheet date.
The UK Budget 2021 announcements on 3 March 2021 included measures to support economic recovery as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These included an increase to the UK’s main corporation tax rate to 25%, which is due to be effective from 1 April 2023. These changes were not substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Events after the reporting date
It is not possible to quantify the total impact of Covid-19 on the business at this current time but the on-going impact is being monitored closely by the Directors. The Company also undertook a further consultation process with all staff in relation to the proposals to both TUPe contracts and restructure the business into two operating units - one broking and one underwriting in 2021. This will put the consolidated business on a sound footing to come out of the pandemic with an appropriate cost base and ready to continue to grow the business as markets recover.
On 1 April 2021 the company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement in relation to the disposal of the business and customer relating to the motor insurance books which include the brands Ladybird Insurance, Autosaint, First for insurance and InsureOK. Completion took place on 12 April 2021 which is the effective date of the purchase. Consideration for the purchase, which was payable in cash, was £1,270,000 exclusive of VAT of which £400,000 was payable six months post completion.
