The address of the registered office is given in the company information of these financial statements. The Company's registration number is 01678839. NBV Enterprise Solutions Limited and its 100% subsidiary are owned and managed as an informal 'Group' (the Quasi-Group) with Norfolk and Waveney Enterprise Services (company registration number 01633258) and its 100% subsidiary NWES Property Services Limited (company registration number 05361073). The two parent companies in the Quasi-Group are both Limited by Guarantee and share the same Members. The Board of directors for all four companies in the Quasi-Group is identical.
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 financial statements are presented in Sterling which is the functional currency of the company
and have been rounded to the nearest £1.
Although the Company is a parent undertaking, it is exempt under the Companies Act 2006 from
preparing group financial statements as the group is defined as small.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Directors have paid due regard to relevant financial information, including cash flows, and factored in sensitivities and uncertainties. They have received a written undertaking from a fellow Quasi-Group member company that it will provide adequate support to enable NBV Enterprise Solutions Limited to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a minimum of twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. In the Directors’ opinion, the Company is a going concern for a minimum of twelve months from the date of the approval of the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources from the organisation's activities include grants for the specific provision of goods and services to be provided as part of the organisation's activities to its beneficiaries. Upon invoicing, these resources are held as deferred income until the income has been earned. Income is earned as follows:
1. Where measurable stages of work have been completed, income is recognised to the value of work completed.
2. Where measurable outputs are specified as a condition of the grant, income is recognised on
the basis of the proportion of outputs completed compared to the total outputs to be delivered.
3. Where outputs are specified as a condition of the grant but are not readily measurable, income is recognised on the basis of the staff time needed to deliver outputs. Here income is recognised on the basis of the proportion of staff time incurred to date compared to the total staff time necessary to deliver the outputs.
4. Where the right to income does not arise until the occurrence of a critical event, income is not recognised until that event occurs.
5. Where the grant allows the organisation to make a surplus, the surplus is recognised in line with the proportion of the project that is completed.
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:
|
|
|
|
Office and computer equipment
|
|
Straight line over 5 years
|
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. Loans receivable 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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

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.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated 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.
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 29 (2022 - 29).
