Going concern |
The global economy is being impacted by the current inflationary pressures. The directors have taken appropriate actions to ensure that operations are able to continue and do not believe this will impact on the ability for the company to continue as a going concern. |
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. |
The directors of the company have received confirmation of continued financial support for the foreseeable future from the parent company, Instabase Inc. |
Basis of preparing the 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 following principal accounting policies have been applied: |
2.1. 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. |
2.2. Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
The Company is controlled by its ultimate parent Instabase Inc. to provide services within specific contracted regions. The Company is remunerated by its parent for these services. The total turnover of the Company for the year has been derived from its principal activity undertaken in the UK. Intercompany revenue is based on a service. |
2.3. Cash and cash equivalents |

2.4. Financial instruments |
