.
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
and are prepared in UK Sterling, which is the functional and presentation currency of the company.
Consolidation
The company has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from estimates. The following summarises the judgements, estimates and assumptions that may cause amounts recognised or or disclosed to change in following reporting periods: Intangible assets The amortisation policy for intangible assets in relation to film rights is based on management's experience of the length of time for which the rights will generate future income. Because of the inherent uncertainty, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the film rights existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material. Furthermore, there is no assurance that, upon liquidation, the Company will realise the values presented herein.
Revenue recognition
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents commissions and recovery of expenses earned on transactions as an agent and amounts invoiced for other services during the year exclusive of Value Added Tax.
Taxation
Current tax is provided for at amounts expected to be paid using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The taxation expense may also include amounts receivable or payable from or to fellow subsidiary or parent company in lieu of tax losses surrendered or claimed.
Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into UK Sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into UK Sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the beginning of the month of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets which are the Film Rights, acquired as part of a business combination are recorded at the fair value at the acquisition date. Film Rights are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
|
Film Rights |
- |
5% straight line |
|
|
|
|
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Tangible assets
The tangible asset is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any provisions for impairment
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
|
Office Equipment |
- |
33% straight line |
|
|
|
|
Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Stock
Stock represents recoverable expenses from the distribution of films and are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Where it is evident that the expense will not be recouped, provision will be made.
Financial instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. All financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, which generally equates to acquisition cost and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade and other debtors are recognised and carried at invoiced amounts less provisions for any doubtful debts, if any. Bad debts, if any, are written off when identified. Cash and cash equivalents are included in the balance sheet at cost. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
