2.Accounting policies
|
|
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.
The company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The company had net liabilities of £311,339 (2021: £311,437) at the reporting date. The company has long term loan facilities provided by one of its shareholders, of which £650,000 (2021: £800,000) was drawn at the statement of financial position date.
On the basis of the loan facilities and the increased activity forecast for the company, the directors believe that the company will have sufficient funds to settle all of its debts as they fall due for at least 12 months from signing the accounts and therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the repayment of the loan facilities.
Production
Production turnover comprises revenues receivable by the company in respect of television programme development and production services supplied during the period, exclusive of Value Added Tax, and is recognised on an 'episodic basis' once delivery of the completed development or production to the customer has been made in accordance with the delivery pattern as outlined in the underlying contractual agreement.
Both under and overspends are accounted for once known and are recognised in accordance with the delivery pattern.
Provisions are made for any loss making contracts (i.e. expected overspend is in excess of originally anticipated margin) as soon as identified.
Distribution
Distribution turnover comprises royalty income on distributed content, and is recognised when the company is notified of royalties earnt.
Production costs incurred in producing a television programme are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as cost of sales in the period in which they are incurred.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Operating leases: the company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
Short-term leasehold property
|
|
Over the life of the lease
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Stocks comprise of costs incurred up to the reporting date on developments and productions yet to be delivered as at the balance sheet date and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs to completion expected to be incurred.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price.
