NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Wales. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 71 Queen Victoria Street,

2.Accounting policies

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:
The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through the utilisation of its own funds, banking and loan facilities, and production funding from its ultimate controlling party.
Film production has been delayed by COVID-19 and other scheduling issues. A revised film production schedule and film financing has been agreed with script writing, casting, pre-production and prep to be completed in quarter 1 of 2024 and the shoot and post-production to be completed in quarter 1 of 2025. Updated funding facilities, forecasts and film production budgets indicate that the company has adequate resources to continue.
After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements, but with the proviso that a material uncertainly exists over the company’s future.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and 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.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
Revenue comprises producer fees receivable and are recognised in the period that they are contractually due in accordance with the master services agreement.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. 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.
The Company is eligible to claim a tax credit on film production costs; the tax credit comprises relief based on total net costs and an additional deduction for enhanceable expenditure. The Company claims a payment based on the amount of enhanced expenditure and carries losses arising from total net costs forward against future profits.
