Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Period 1 March 2023 to 31 January 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Continental Marketplace Ltd is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
This is the first year in which the financial statements are required to be prepared in line with FRS 102 section 1A - previous years were prepared under the micro entity regime. In the opinion of the directors, there are no significant or material adjustments required as a result of this transition. |
Going concern |
The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis of accounting as, in the opinion of the directors, there are no matters of material uncertainty which cast doubt on the company's ability to continue. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The directors have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported within the financial statements during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The directors' estimates, assumptions and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the financial statements are addressed and detail is provided in the associated notes. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net sales of goods and services, excluding value added tax, and recognised when the company becomes entitled to the income. |
Financial instruments |
The company has no complex financial instruments but does hold basic financial instruments of: cash at bank, debtors, and creditors. |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, foreign currency on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. A bank overdraft would be shown within current liabilities. |
Debtors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less losses for bad debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, trade and other debtors are stated at cost less losses for bad debts. |
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, trade and other creditors are stated at cost. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit & Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Employment benefits |
The total cost of employee benefits to which employees have become entitled as a result of service rendered to the entity during the reporting period are recognised and charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |
Provision for liabilities |
A provision is initially recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as the result of a past event, it is probable that there will be the transfer of funds in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. The provision is subsequently measured by placing a charge against the provision only for expenditure for which the provision was originally recognised. |
3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
The average number of employees during the period was NIL (2023 - NIL). |

The hire purchase liabilities are secured over the assets to which they relate, along with a personal guarantee provided by M R Taylor, a director of the company. |
9. | RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Lochview Theme Park (Scotland) Ltd and Bizarre Bar Ltd are considered related parties by virtue of the control exerted over both entities by the same individuals. Amounts owed by group undertakings as shown in the notes to the accounts relate to loans advanced by the company to these related parties, regarded as interest free and repayable on demand. Movements in the year relate loan repayments, along with expenses incurred by the company on behalf of both related parties, together with income received by the other companies which relates to trading by Continental Marketplace Ltd. |
10. | ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY |
The issued share capital is split equally between six shareholders, with those shares carrying equal rights with respect to voting, dividends and distributions. Consequently, the directors consider that there is no ultimate controlling party. |
