Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 August 2022 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Baobao Ltd is a |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'. |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss. |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. |
Consolidation |
In the opinion of the directors, the company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary company by the parent company are stated at the net asset values of the subsidiary companies, which is considered to be their fair values, unless the net asset value is negative, in which case the investment's carrying value is considered to be nil. Differences between the net asset value and historical cost are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI), with net revaluation gains recognised in OCI and net revaluation losses in profit and loss to the extent that these are not reversals of previous revaluation gain. |
Financial instruments |
Borrowings classified as basic financial instruments |
Borrowings are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. |
Going concern |
The directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast their significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. On the basis of assessment of the company's financial position, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. |
