1.Accounting policies

|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
Crosstower Ventures Limited is a private Company limited by shares and incorporated in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office and place of business is given in the Company information of these financial statements. The Company's registration number is 04007356.
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.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
|
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of AEW Paddock Motors Limited as at 31 December 2022 and these financial statements may be obtained from The Showground,The Cliff, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4 5EW.
At 31 December 2022 the Company had net liabilities of £493,119.
The directors have confirmed that their loans to the business will not be repaid until the Company has sufficient funds to do so.
There is a significant creditor balance due to the Parent Company at the year end which the Parent Company has confirmed they will not call upon until the Company has sufficient funds to do so. However, the Parent Company continues to have reduced cash resources that may require support from subsidiary companies creating a material uncertainty surrounding the Group’s ability to settle potential future liabilities as they fall due. This creates a material uncertainty in relation to going concern for the Company.
The Company has entered into a loan agreement to assist with cash flow in relation to the property development project and which is expected to continue to relieve cash pressures for the remainder of the development up to the point of eventual disposal. Project forecasts indicate that additional funding will be required prior to disposal in order to complete the current phase and the directors continue to explore their options in this regard. On this basis, the directors believe that the Company can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
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.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost includes all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
