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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES |
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. |
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
GOING CONCERN |
The company's Financial Statements show net losses of £330,277 mainly because of increase in staff costs which was considered as one of major expenditure. As a result, the company's liabilities exceeded its assets as at the year end. For the purposes of short and medium-term financial management, the directors are closely monitoring the working capital position by taking steps to reduce expenses and increase income. At the time of approving the financial statements , the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
TURNOVER |
Turnover represents funding received from local authority and other educational awarding bodies. |
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS |
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and comprise land and buildings. These are not depreciated, but are reviewed for fair value every year. |
The directors are experienced in relation to property values in the location where the properties are situated. The directors consider the properties included in the accounts are at fair value, and consequently no independent valuation is carried out. |
DEPRECIATION |
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: |
Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
Fixtures & Fittings | 15% on reducing balance |
Computer Equipment | Straight line over 3 years |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. |

HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
TRADE DEBTORS |
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. |
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. |
TRADE CREDITORS |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. |
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Classification |
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Recognition and measurement |
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
Impairment |
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. |
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. |
Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. |

8. | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
After the year end, it came to the notice of the directors that historically incorrect VAT may have been claimed by the company. Because of this, the company is taking specialist VAT advise in order to resolve the position. At this point of time, the directors are not in position to quantify any sum that might become due and consequently no provision has been made in the accounts. |
