NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 |
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
WA Capital Limited is a
|
Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the |
Company Information page. |
|
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom |
accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting |
Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") as issued in August |
2014, and with the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small |
companies' regime). The changes to FRS 102 issued in September 2015 effective for |
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 have been adopted and therefore, as a small |
company the financial statements have been prepared under section 1A the small entities |
regime of FRS 102. |
|
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The directors are |
of the opinion that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence |
for the foreseeable future. On this basis they continue to adopt the going concern basis of |
accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. |
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing |
these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard |
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". |
|
- the requirement of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
- the requirement of Section 33 Related Party Disclosure paragraph 33.7; |
- key management personnel compensation; |
|
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The company is exempt by virtue of s400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement |
to prepare group financial statements. These financial statements present information about |
the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
The Directors are continually evaluating estimates and judgements based on historical |
experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be |
reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, |
seldom equal the related actual results. |
|
Accounting judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies |
In the previous year the company impaired the intercompany loan due from WA Capital |
Investments Limited (WAC-I) at the year end. This judgement was based on WAC-I's net |
liabilities forecasted for the following 12 months. |
|
In the year to 30th June 2019 there was a considerable increase in the Net Assets of WAC-I |
and as a consequence the impairment has been reversed. |
|
Financial risk management including derivatives, objectives and forward fixed rate |
currency contracts |
|
The company uses financial instruments, comprising loans, cash and other liquid resources |
and various other items such as trade debtors, creditors and finance arrangements that arise |
directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise |
finance for its operations. The main issues arising from the company's financial instruments |
are liquidity risk, interest rate and foreign currency risk. The directors review and agree |
policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The policies |
have remained unchanged from the previous period. |
|
Liquidity risk |
The company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to |
meet foreseeable needs by negotiating adequate facilities from the Company's bankers and |
other lenders. |
|
Interest rate risk |
The company finances its operations through a mixture of shareholders' equity, retained |
profits and bank borrowings. The Company regularly reviews its exposure to interest rate |
fluctuations. |
|
Foreign currency risk |
The Company is exposed to transaction and translation foreign exchange risk. The |
Company seeks to minimise its exposure when known, using forward fixed rate currency |
contracts. |
|
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are recognised in the 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 and derivatives, 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies, |
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 |
receipts 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. |
Amounts 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 subsequently re-measured at their fair value. |
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss. Debt instruments that |
do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair |
value through profit or loss. |
|
Derecognition of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or |
are discharged or cancelled. |
|
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and |
Loss Account, 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. |
|
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 the 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. |

|
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. |
|
Income recognition |
Dividends are accounted for when receivable by the company. Interest is accounted for as it |
falls due. |
