Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2023
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 15 Olympic Court, Whitehills Business Park, Blackpool, Lancs, FY4 5GU.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the provisions of FRS 102, Section 1A, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Turnover
Turnover is derived from the sale of advertisements in publications which are distributed by contracted third parties for periods exceeding one year. Turnover is recognised in the company's income statement on a daily basis throughout the period of the advertising contract. To the extent that the turnover has been invoiced and is not recognised in the income statement, it is credited in the statement of financial position under the heading 'Stocks'.
Long term contracts
Amounts recoverable on long term contracts, which are included in debtors are stated at the net sales value of the work done after provisions for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments received on account.
Taxation and group relief
The company is a member of a group and is consequently able to surrender losses or receive the benefit of surrendered losses in accordance with the group relief provisions of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 2010. The group company surrendering the losses under these provisions will be credited by the beneficiary company at the rate of Corporation Tax at which the losses have been relieved by the beneficiary company.Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more, tax, with the following exceptions:Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.Deferred tax is measured on a discounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Cost of sales, stocks and attributable profit
The company's cost of sales comprise printing and sales commission. These costs are recognised in the company's income statement over the anticipated lives of the advertising contracts to which they relate. To the extent that the expenditure incurred is not recognised in the income statement it is carried forward in the statement of financial position under the heading 'Stocks - Net cost less foreseeable losses' at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Attributable profit, being Turnover less Cost of Sales, is accounted for over the lifetime of the advertisement contract.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
