NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Aten UK Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Compliance with accounting standards |
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and have also been consistently applied within the same accounts. |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Smaller Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
There were no material departures from that standard. |
Going concern |
The company is dependent on ongoing financial support of its ultimate parent company, Aten International Co., Limited, to which the parent has committed. The parent has in place funding to finance short term working capital and growth. |
The directors consider the likelihood of failing to access sufficient funds to be remote and therefore consider the use of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements to be appropriate. |
The directors have considered the impact of the current economic climate in relation to their assessment of going concern and in their opinion have taken all reasonable steps to mitigate these factors. As at the point of authorising the accounts, and for the foreseeable future, the directors consider the going concern assumption to still be appropriate. The directors acknowledge that given the currently rapidly changing business and social environment, there are likely to be significant unknown factors which may present themselves. Such factors are considered by the directors to represent a general inherent level of risk in relation to the going concern assumption albeit not quantifiable at this time |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from bank and other third parties, loan's to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. |
Short term debtors and creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial instruments, including loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than the financial instrument's legal form. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
