Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
In making the company’s going concern assessment, the directors have considered a number of factors in relation to it and the Group of which it is a member, including financial performance, continued access to borrowing facilities and the ability to continue to operate the group’s secured debt structure within its financial covenants.
The company and a number of its fellow subsidiary undertakings are parties to a loan agreement with Aviva that is due for repayment on 20 October 2024. The directors are in discussions with Aviva and they anticipate that the loan will either be extended on new terms or refinanced with another loan provider. Although this represents a material uncertainty, the directors are confident of a successful outcome and have prepared cash flow projections on this assumption using interest rates in line with current market rates. The projections indicate the Group will have sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months and it is for this reason the directors have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements.
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.
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 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 normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
