Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, |
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent |
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other |
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting |
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that |
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future |
periods. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT. |
Revenue is recognised when entitlement to royalties of publications are due. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates |
calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as |
follows: |
Plant and machinery 20% - 33% straight line |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with |
banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank |
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. |

Financial instruments |
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 |
‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to |
the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at |
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the |
effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference |
shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement |
constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future |
payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are |
not amortised. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of |
business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year |
or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at |
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
