Accounting policies
Company information
Livingston Football Club Limited is a
private
company
limited by shares
incorporated in
Scotland
.
The registered office is
The Tony Macaroni Arena, Alderstone Road, Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland, EH54 7DN.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in
sterling
, which is the functional currency of the company.
Monetary a
mounts
in these financial statements are
rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Livingston Football Club Limited is a subsidiary company of Opcco6 Ltd, a company registered in Scotland, with their registered office being The Tony Macaroni Arena, Alderstone Road, Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland, EH54 7DN. Opcco6 Ltd is the ultimate controlling party.
1.2
Going concern
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The balance sheet shows a net asset position after years of showing a net liability position. However, the company continues to be dependent on the liquidity generated from the bank and other lenders. The company continues to operate within all agreed loan conditions, and financial projections show that this will continue to be the case. Additionally, the total liabilities of the company include £254,220 of loans which are not repayable on demand and will only be repaid when the company is in an appropriate financial position to do so.
The directors have also considered the impact of Covid-19 on the company and continue to manage the business prudently throughout the Covid-19 epidemic. They therefore do not believe that it has a material impact on the going concern status of the company.
Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business
, and
is shown net of VAT
.
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:
Stamp duty on stadium lease
Over the term of the lease (being 50 years)

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:
Leasehold improvements
10 years straight line
Plant and equipment
3 - 4 years straight line
Motor vehicles
4 years 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).
1.7
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and costs that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
1.8
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents
are basic financial assets
and
include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9
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.
Debtors
Debtors with no stated interest rate or receivable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any
losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account.
Creditors
Creditors with no stated interest rate and payable within one year are recorded at transaction price.
All interest bearing loans and borrowings which are basic financial instruments are initially recorded at the
present value of cash payable. After initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost.

1.10
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
1.11
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.
1.12
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.
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.
1.13
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.14
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
.

1.15
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.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met
. Where a
grant does not specify performance conditions
it
is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable
. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.
1.16
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation
in the period
are included in profit or loss.

Events after the reporting date
During the year the directors have been
involved in a dispute with certain former investors
and are
undertaking a detailed review of all balances due to
these parties
, together with any related share issues to clear these balances. This review
i
s be
ing
undertaken in conjunction with professional advisers and is still ongoing at the date of signing these
financial statements
.
Following a Court of Session Decree issued on 17 April 2015 the principal was established that loans made by certain investors to the club prior to September 2010 were not repayable on demand, and should only be repaid when the company could afford to do so. Following this, the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 established “other reserves” of £583,260 in relation to non repayable loans on the basis that these amounts were expected to be converted to share capital.
Since that date, £
5
00,000 shares
have
been issued to Opcco 6 Limited from that reserve
, including £200,000 of shares
during the year to 30 June 2020
. T
he balance
of £83,260
has been released back to non repayable loans. It is the issue of these shares, the subsequent reallocation of the balance of that reserve and the value included in creditors: amounts due within more than one year relating to repayable loans prior to September 2010 that is being examined.
As detailed in note 8, one of these balances was the subject of a negotiated settlement and has been repaid during the year.
The financial statements do not reflect any balance sheet reallocations that may be necessary once the review has been completed.

Related party transactions
Included within other debtors is an interest free loan of £141,214 (202

made
to a member of key management personnel.
Since the year end a repayment plan has been confirmed which will result in the loan balance being fully repaid by 30 June 2023. Repayments totaling £89,158 have been received since the year end and up to the date of signing of these financial statements.
The director
s
are
of the opinion that all other related party transactions are conducted under normal market conditions and on an arm's length basis and therefore do not need to be disclosed under FRS 102 section 1A appendix C.
17
Directors' transactions
The prior year financial statements included an interest free loan within other creditors: amounts falling due within one year, for a value of £100,000 provided by a director to assist with cash flow during the Covid-19 epidemic. This loan was repaid in full during the current financial year.
