NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2021

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Robert Howell Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and 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 have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The directors of the company recognise the current liabilities of the company exceed current assets. The directors have confirmed their ongoing support of the company together with support, as required, from other group companies. On this basis the companies accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis as the company is expected to have adequate cash resource to meet its trading obligations as they fall due.

Should the company be unable to continue trading, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amount, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the periods in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The directors consider no estimates or assumptions have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:

Initial fee income is recognised once the investment provider has receipt of the investment from the customer. Ongoing fees are recognised once received. The directors estimate an accrual for ongoing income at the year end.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business has been amortised evenly over its estimated useful life.

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.

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.

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 future receipts discounted at a market rate on interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current 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.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2020 - NIL).

7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The company has given unlimited guarantees in respect of third party bank borrowings. At 31st December 2021 the total amount outstanding on these bank borrowings amounted to £197,458 (2020: £465,974).

There is a contingent liability on income earned in respect of life and pension policies under indemnity terms which may be cancelled by the policy holder within a certain period from the inception of the policy. The average period within which cancellation may occur resulting in the clawback of income is one year and hence the contingent liability approximates to one year's indemnity income included in turnover.

8. ULTIMATE PARENT COMPANY

Gerrard Stuart Holdings Limited incorporated in the United Kingdom is regarded by the directors as being the Company's ultimate parent company.

The company is an 85% owned subsidiary of Gerrard Stuart Financial Services Limited which is also incorporated in the United Kingdom.
