NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

1.


General information

Marcus Evans (Germany) Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of its registered office and principal place of business can be found on the company information page.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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 FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company, and the Group headed by it, qualify as small as set out in section 383 of the Companies Act 2006 and the parent and Group are considered eligible for the exemption to prepare consolidated accounts.

 
2.3

Going concern

Company has net assets of £927,829 (2020 -  £860,769) however within total liabilities of £1,421,788 there are intercompany creditors of £1,023,454.

Marcus Evans Holdings (IOM) Ltd has confirmed that currently, as a major creditor of the UK company, it will not demand repayment of the amounts outstanding until such a time that the Company is able to make repayments without having a detrimental impact on the Company. The period for not demanding payment is at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.

Marcus Evans Holdings (IOM) Ltd has also confirmed that it will currently continue to provide financial resources as may be required for the Company to meet its financial commitments as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and Company also has group financial support available in case of financial difficulties. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional currency is Euro, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates, and its presentational currency is GBP

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Revenue

Revenue arises from the provision of services in respect of management and arrangement of conferences. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts for the provision of services in the normal course of business, net of discounts and other sales-related taxes. 
Revenue is recognised at the completion of the conference, until which point the amounts invoiced are recorded as a deferred income.

  
2.6

Investment income

Annual net income for all accounting periods is automatically allocated to the company in accordance with the provisions of the Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement with its wholly owned subsidiary, Linguarama Spracheninstitut GmbH. Net income is calculated as the profit for the year after any transfers to reserves.

  
2.7

Event related expenses

Directly attributable event expenses are recognised in the year in which the event has been completed. Expenses that relate to an event taking place in a subsequent financial year but paid prior to the year end are recorded as prepayments in the statement of financial position.

 
2.8

Government grants

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.

 
2.9

Tangible fixed assets

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:

Fixtures and fittings
-
20 - 25% straight line

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.

 
2.10

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

2.12

Taxation

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 reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

 
2.13

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.
