Guilford Capital Ltd Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 28 December 2023
1
Statutory information
Guilford Capital Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales, registration number 8161981. The registered office is 2ND FLOOR, 22 EASTCHEAP, LONDON, EC3M 1EU, ENGLAND.
2
Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
3
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets.
Presentation currency
The accounts are presented in £ sterling. The Company's functional currency is Eur. Items of assets and liabilities (including comparatives) are translated into the presentation currency at the official rate of exchange ruling at the closing date of each reports. Items of income and expenditure (including comparatives) are translated into the presentation currency at the official average rate of exchange ruling at the closing date of each reports. The exchange differences arising are recognised in the profit and loss reserves account.
Foreign exchange
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into the Company functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the Company's functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Going concern
The Directors acknowledge the uncertainties affecting the UK economy as well as the global economical and political situation and the risk factors associated with it. They are taking all reasonable steps, as part of the Company's risk management policy, to ensure continued operations and, after consideration of all factors, they believe it appropriate for the going concern basis to be adopted for these financial statements.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in the profit and loss account. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in the profit and loss account.
