NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Novum Personnel Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address are as below:

Registered number: 12209824

Registered office: The Edge
The Edge Hub
Myton Street
Hull
HU1 2PS

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention.

In order to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, the directors need to assess the financial stability of the company and its ability to meet its obligations and continue in business for the foreseeable future. The director is mindful of the stage of development of the business and, whilst losses have been reported to date, this is only the company's fourth period of trading and it has generated a respectable turnover of over £2.53 million for the year.

The majority of the funding required to establish the business has been provided by its former shareholder and family members in the form of interest-free, unsecured loans. Due to the nature of the business, a full team of personnel was required and this would bring with it a sizeable associated cost. In common with many new businesses in the industry, there is a relatively high proportion of costs involved in relation to turnover in the initial periods of trading whilst it builds up its client base.

The director is satisfied that the business is where they would expect it to be given its relatively early stage of development and management figures after the reporting date indicate that the company is now operating profitably. They therefore consider that the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements is entirely appropriate.

Length of accounting period
These accounts cover a 12 month period from 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2023. The previous accounts cover a 6 month period from 1 February 2022 to 31 July 2022 and are therefore not entirely comparable.

Turnover
Turnover represents income from the provision of recruitment services for both permanent and temporary employment positions, excluding value added tax.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery etc - 25% on cost

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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 balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.

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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Government grants
Government grants are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 16 (2022 - 21 ) .
