Notes to the Financial Statements |
|
Period from 1 June 2022 to 30 November 2023
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 1 Television Centre, 101 Wood Lane, London, W12 7FA, United Kingdom.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
Going concern
In establishing whether to continue to report under the going concern assumption we have considered the following points: - The impact on the day to day trade of the business - The impact on the ability of our suppliers to meet our needs - The impact of our staff's ability to perform their duties - The impact on our cash position of a period of minimum activity A detailed budget and cashflow have been prepared for the production and delivery of the television series. Funds to meet the cashflow requirements are contractually in place and the directors do not anticipate any material overspend now that the production has been delivered. After considering all factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are therefore satisfied that the going concern assumption remains appropriate.
Comparatives
The accounts cover the period from 1 June 2022 to 30 November 2023. The comparatives cover the period from 1 September 2021 to 31 May 2022.
The accounting period has been extended to ensure that the accounting period and tax credit claim is conterminous.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying small entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under section 1A of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accruals are estimated by reference to purchase orders raised at the period end and estimates to complete. Payments received on account are estimated by reference to percentage of completion of the film production, as noted in 'Revenue Recognition' below.
Revenue recognition
Turnover relates to the production of the television series entitled "Life After Life". It represents the value of the work done in the period, including estimates of amounts not invoiced and is stated after trade discounts, other taxes and net of VAT. Revenue from the rendering of services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period provided that the outcome can be reliably estimated. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable.
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Financial instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.
4.
Employees
The company has been incorporated to produce a high-end television series entitled "Life After Life". In common with the film and television industry the majority of crew are hired on short term contracts for the duration of principal photography or are self-employed.
