|
|
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Going Concern |
The board of directors review the financial position of the company on an ongoing basis and update budgets to include variations as they arise. The board are satisfied that there will be adequate funding in place to cover all known liabilities as they fall due until the end of the 2022/23 season. |
|
The directors will prepare forecasts for the 2023/24 season based on expected income levels for the season and player budgets will be set accordingly. The directors will continue to review the forecasts on an ongoing basis to ensure that costs are minimized and that the company's liquidity position remains stable. |
|
The directors are therefore of the opinion that the going concern basis is applicable. |
|
Revenue recognition |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services supplied, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. |
|
Gate and other match day revenues are recognised over the period of the football season as games are played. Sponsorship and similar commercial income is recognised over the duration of the respective contracts. Broadcasting revenues are recognised over the duration of the football season. Fees for live coverage or highlights are recognised when earned. |
|
Tangible fixed assets |

Taxation |
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. |
|
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
|
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount for deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 recoverd. |
|
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or asset realised, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
|
Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. |
|
Pension costs |
The company operates 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 Statements 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. |
|
Grants |
Grants are accounted for under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income. |
|
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure. |

|
Debtors |
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
|
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty or notice of more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to know amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
|
Financial instruments |
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
|
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured initially and subsequently at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However , if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. |
|
Creditors |
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
