2.Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, the Statement of financial position records net liabilities of £258,557 (2023 - £255,886).
The company's principal creditor is Westferry Limited, its parent company, and the company will continue to be dependent on the parent company for financial support for the foreseeable future.
The directors have made informal arrangements regarding this support such that Westferry Limited will not demand repayment of the amount due to them until such time as the company is in the position to do so and that Westferry Limited will provide additional finance to meet third party liabilities as they fall due.
D O'Brien, a former director, has also confirmed that he will not require repayment of the £189,400 due to him from the company until such time as it is financially able to do so.
On the basis above, the directors consider the preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 3 (2023 - 3).
