NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Ekman Holding U.K. Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The |
company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£) rounded to nearest Pound (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
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. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
Foreign currencies |
Transactions in currencies, other than the functional currency of the company, are recorded at the |
rate of exchange on the date the transaction occurred. Monetary items denominated in other currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account. Non-monetary items that are measured at historic cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated |
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company is reliant upon the continued support of its parent company. If this support was withdrawn the company would be unable to continue in operational existence. Adjustments would then have to be made to reduce the statement of financial position value of assets to their recoverable amounts and to provide any further liabilities that may arise. The company is unable to quantify the effect of such adjustments on the financial statements. The directors believe that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis. |
As part of the directors' assessment of going concern, they have prepared detailed cash flow and profit and loss forecasts for the next 12 months. The forecasts have been prepared on an appropriate basis, taking into account the current economic conditions that exist. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Ekman Holding U.K. Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Ekman Invest Holding AB, Polhemsplatsen 5, 411 11, Gothenburg, Sweden. |
3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
