Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 May 2023 |
1. | Statutory information |
Woodcock Holmes Estate Agents Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | Statement of compliance |
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'. |
3. | Accounting policies |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. |
Revenue recognition |
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents the invoice value of services provided during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business. |
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. It is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life. |
Amortisation |
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows: |
Goodwill | - 5% straight line |
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates. |
Financial instruments |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. |
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability. |
Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred 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 or deferred 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 statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. |
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. |
Defined contribution plans |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for directors. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account. |
Going concern |
At the balance sheet date, current liabilities exceed current assets by £6,075. This is due to amounts owed to the directors being included within creditors due within one year. However, the directors have indicated that they will not withdraw from these accounts in preference to other creditors, that they have operated within their bank facilities and that the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
4. | Employees and directors |
The average number of employees during the year was |
