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. |
Dankro Ltd ("the Company") is a holding company for a small group of trading companies; Z-Card Ltd (UK trading company), Z-Card SAS (French trading company) and Z Media (Belgian trading company). The Company is owned by a Belgian group named Daneels. The Company sits in the middle of the Daneels group and the Z-Card group. The Company provide management services to each of the Z-Card trading companies. These services are ultimately provided by the Daneels group who, along with other third party consultants invoice Dankro Ltd for their time and resources expensed on the Z-Card activities. To date, the Z-Card group have cumulative trading losses which has meant that the Company has not been able to recover the costs which it has incurred. At the balance sheet date, Dankro has trading losses of £517,000. |
Due to circumstances, including as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, and in order to reduce costs of the Z-Card trading companies the Directors of the Daneels Group made strategic changes. For example at the end of 2020 there was a substantial reduction in the UK company's work force, the lease of the London office where it had previously operated from was discontinued and Daneels group staff began to oversee the day to day running of the UK company. Since the beginning of 2021 the Z-Card group has operated on a much smaller scale. |
Z-Card Ltd, the longest established trading company, had cumulative losses of £2.8 million at 31 December 2023. The Z-Card group is reliant on operational and financial support of the Daneels group in order to continue as a going concern. The Daneels group have agreed to continue to provide its operational and financial support to the Z-Card group. The Z-Card group is also reliant on the support of bankers, KBC, who provide factoring facilities. |
Ultimately all of the companies in the Dankro group are receiving the support of the Daneels group to trade as a going concern. |
After reporting losses in previous years, the consolidated results of the Daneels Group showed profits of EUR 31,300 in the year ended 31 March 2022 and profits of EUR 142,000 in the year ended 31 March 2023. The consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2024 are not yet available. The unaudited figures for internal reporting purposes for the year ended 31 December 2023 shows growth in the Group's profit. The Directors of the Daneels Group expect the Group results to remain stable through until the end of 2025. The Director of Z-Card Limited is confident that he can rely on the support from the Daneels Group, however detailed financial forecasts of the Daneels group have not been prepared. |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. |

Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
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 transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
