Accounting policies |
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.
Statement of compliance
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 Section 1A, "FRS 102" and the Companies Act 2006. There are no material departures from FRS102.

Going concern

Revenue recognition
The turnover shown in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings represents amounts earned during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax.
The company recognises revenue from magazine sales as follows:
For magazines where the sale period ceases before the year end, revenue is recognised in full based on the total remittance received for that magazine, including amounts received after the year end.
For magazines where the sale period straddles the year end, revenue is recognised based on an estimated percentage of total remittance received for each week the magazine is on sale prior to the year end. The percentage reflects the estimated sales pattern over the period the magazine is on sale.

Foreign currency transactions and balances
Tax
Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation 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 taxable income.
Tangible assets and Investments
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, adjusted for impairment where appropriate. Cost represents the fair value of consideration paid.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Office equipment |
25% reducing balance |
Stocks
Stock and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Net realisable value is based on selling prices less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Work in progress consists of the costs of printing magazines, which have not yet been distributed.
Leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Cash and bank balances;
• Non-puttable ordinary shares;
• Foreign currency forward contracts; and
• Informal inter-company loans.
With the exception of foreign currency contracts, all financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Such basic instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Foreign currency contracts are carried at fair value through profit or loss. They are presented at the balance sheet date within current assets or liabilities, as appropriate, and any movement from one balance sheet date to the next is recorded in the statement of income and retained earnings within cost of sales.
Defined contribution pension obligation
The company operates two defined contribution pension schemes for the director and staff. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Staff numbers |
The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was
