On Line Roadways Limited ("the Company") is a Company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is On Line House, 240 Freshwater Road, Chadwell Heath, Essex, RM8 1RX.
The principal activity of the Company is that of carrying and transporting goods, materials and international freight.
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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
|
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of O'Leary Group Limited as at 31 January 2023 and these financial statements may be obtained from Online House, 240 Freshwater Road, Dagenham, Essex, RM8 1RX.
The company has net current liabilities as at 31 January 2023. The company is supported by its group members, who continue to be profitable after the year end based on management information avaliable. On this basis, the directors are of the opinion that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. They therefore consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
International haulage
Revenue from providing services through international haulage is recognised in the period in which the services are provided when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• The Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership through the delivery of goods to the customer;
• The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree of responsibility nor effective control over the goods being delivered;
• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• It is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction;
• The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
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:
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.
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. 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 known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Profit and loss account
The profit and loss account consists of distributable reserves arising from cumulative historical profits and losses less any distributions made.
The Company is involved in a number of legal disputes, all of which are ongoing and the outcomes of which are unknown at this stage. On the basis of evidence available, the directors do not believe that any of the potential liabilities are probable and therefore no provision has been made in the accounts in accordance with FRS 102 section 21. The Group is also involved in a regulatory dispute which is expected to result in a probable future economic outflow. This obligation has been currently estimated at £1,753,258 and has been provided for in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent undertaking as an exceptional item in the financial year ended 31 January 2022. It is impossible at this stage to determine reliably the proportion of this group economic outflow that applies to the company individually, and as such no provision has been made in these company financial statements. There are likely to be additional economic outflows in connection with this matter, but these cannot be estimated reliably at this stage either and as such no provision has been made in accordance with section 21.12 of FRS 102.
