Harmonix Construction Limited Directors Report |
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. | |||||||||
Principal activities | |||||||||
Directors | |||||||||
The Directors who served at any time during the year were as follows: | |||||||||
Results and dividends | |||||||||
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £3,191,596 (2023 : £1,444,729). Further business review is mentioned in the strategic report. The directors do not propose a dividend to the shareholders. | |||||||||
Financial instruments | |||||||||
The company has financial instruments such as cash and bank, trade debtors and trade creditors which directly arise from its operations. The main risks arising from its financial instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The company only trades with credit worthy and reputable organisations. Receivable balances are monitored regularly so that the exposure to bad debts is not significant. Liquidity risk is the risk that company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The company maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due. | |||||||||
Statement of directors' responsibilities | |||||||||
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. | |||||||||
Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. | |||||||||
In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to: | |||||||||
* | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; | ||||||||
* | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; | ||||||||
* | state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statments; and | ||||||||
* | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. | ||||||||
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. | |||||||||

Harmonix Construction Limited Strategic Report |
The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024. | |||||||
Business review | |||||||
• In revenue terms results for 2024 were in line with Board expectations with turnover of £34 million for the year to 31 March 2024 reflecting the timing of some delayed projects and our own contract selectivity strategy. As at the financial year end, the company's net asset position increased to £3,710,089 from £2,518,493 in 2023 due to significant net profits. | |||||||
• There was an increase in Gross Profit Margin from 8.75% to 16.20% mainly due to profitable projects and downward cost inflationary trends. | |||||||
• Admin costs for the year were up by 10% mainly due to increase in staffing costs and bad debts. | |||||||
• The net pre tax result for the year shows a substantial increase to to £4.2 million compared to £1.8 million in 2022/23 mainly due to increased margins and more profitable projects. | |||||||
Sustainability | |||||||
Harmonix’s mission is to incorporate sustainable practices into all aspects of our business to fulfil our responsibilities to our environment, clients and staff whilst maintaining the high levels of working standard and quality we’re best known for. We define sustainability in a broad context; considering not only the environment, but also the people whose work we rely on to succeed. To firmly solidify our commitments to sustainability, Harmonix hired a dedicated sustainability manager to realise our goals throughout our business, including the following themes: | |||||||
Environment | |||||||
To prioritise the health of the environment, Harmonix ensure to reduce consumption of materials on projects and throughout our head office operations. In our projects, we plan for photovoltaics to reduce energy use of our buildings, procure materials with as little single-use plastic as possible, and utilise technology to keep our water consumption at a minimum, amongst other initiatives. In our operations, we have moved our permanent head office to a co-working location (B-Corp registered) to reduce our company’s physical footprint and resource use, are investigating transforming our existing fleet into hybrid. For each tender, we research project-specific technologies and methods to make the construction and operational phases of our projects as environmentally friendly as possible. All projects we complete are certified BREEAM “Very Good” or better. | |||||||
Net zero carbon | |||||||
In line with the UK Government’s requirements, we are in the process of understanding how our company can become carbon neutral by 2050. To do this we have developed a carbon monitoring program currently being evaluated on all projects commencing from September 2022, which monitors emissions for each of Scopes 1, 2 and 3. The results of the carbon emissions we calculate from projects will serve as a baseline for our monitoring program and allow us to publish real values within the year and commence with our strategy to instill our carbon reduction plan, and to be Net Zero Carbon by 2030. We also support and encourage our clients to deliver Net Zero Carbon Construction and Operation using the UK Green Building Council’s framework to do so. This is done through the completion of Whole Life Cycle Carbon Assessments carried out by energy consultants. We have employed PlanetMark to provide 3rd Party authentication on our Scope 1 & 2 emissions, which is currently under evaluation with results due to be published August 2024, with reduction targets anticipated for the following year at a minimum 5%. | |||||||
Ecology | |||||||
As part of BREEAM requirements, we ensure the local ecology and habitats of our sites are left better than originally found by the end of project completion. | |||||||
We ensure this by working with ecological consultants who provide us with options and best practices for enhancing the environment with a net gain of 10%.. We have partnered with Ecologi who are certified ‘B corporation, with their partnership we plant ten trees for one tree felled. | |||||||
Social values | |||||||
Once a project has begun, Harmonix reach out to local education in the surrounding areas to encourage collaborations, through these initiatives, Harmonix have now solidified relationships with local Boroughs and worked together on programs to visit schools and speak with local students about the construction industry. The aim of this is to allow students to understand the varying job roles available in the construction industry and the pathways to get to them. Additionally, we utilize local volunteer societies to assist with company volunteer days to benefit the local environment. Outside of these initiatives, we are investing in alternative support measures including ManShed, and plan on developing our Social Value plan by incorporating a set budget based on the overall value of the build (through local suppliers/labour/services) Harmonix are always searching for new opportunities to support the communities within which we work. | |||||||
Sustainable procurement | |||||||
To ensure we build as sustainably as possible, Harmonix have drafted a sustainable procurement policy that outlines our procurement practices and goals in line with BS 8903. The purpose of the policy is to ensure that environmental considerations are incorporated into the purchasing of goods and services for production and office activities. Harmonix also audit the supply chain on a bi-annual basis as well as audit each sub-contractor on every job to better understand the performance measure and impacts we are having. It also ensures that only licensed waste carries are used to remove wastes. You can find this policy listed on Harmonix’s website. As a FORS champion, we ensure all deliveries are brought in on FORS registered vehicles which is specified in contracts and at order stage. | |||||||
Circular economy | |||||||
We partner with specific and vetted waste companies with the goal of minimizing as much waste to landfill as possible. Recycled materials are used wherever possible throughout the project, and we are looking into initiatives and suppliers that support the circular economy mission and will be able to provide solutions for our projects. All schemes require Site Waste Management Plans with recycling targets are always adhered to, with a minimum 98% recycling target. | |||||||
Modern slavery & The Workforce | |||||||
Harmonix have an absolute zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are fully committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We have drawn up a statement which sets out the actions that we have taken to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to our business, and steps we implement to prevent slavery and human trafficking throughout our supply chain, which you can find on our website. We regularly offer Toolbox Talks to site teams about the impact and what triggers to look out for. We also provide several methods of contact on sites in the event someone wishes to speak out but does not feel comfortable doing so face-to-face and wishes to either remain anonymous or not draw attention. We are a proud member of the GLAA (Gangmaster and Leader Abuse Authority) and utilize their platform to ensure maximum compliance and further educate the wider workforce. | |||||||
Equality and diversity | |||||||
Harmonix believe fundamentally that unique perspectives only broaden the quality of work we can achieve, and we strive to ensure our business operates with input from a variety of people. We are committed to providing opportunities to all employees, whilst ensuring their working environments are suitable, respectful, and uplifting. Our commitment to diversity and equality emphasizes other pillars of our business, aligning with our recruitment structure and how we interact with suppliers and sub-contractors. | |||||||
In line with Equality Act 2010 Harmonix do not in any form discriminate on any basis, but especially on the bases of age, gender, disability, marriage status, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. This first and foremost applies to our employees, but we also hold this to be true for all who interact with our business, including clients, sub-contractors, and suppliers. We are currently developing our first ESG report and we plan to break down and report figures relating to this. As members of the GBC, employee wellbeing is critical to our business model, and this reflects through having employee representation in the form of a ‘FIR’ (Fairness, inclusion, respect) ambassador. | |||||||
Financial and other key performance indicators: | |||||||
The company's key performance indicators during the year were as follows: | |||||||
Key financial performance indicators: | Unit | 2024 | 2023 | ||||
1 | Turnover | £ | 34,348,173 | 34,481,887 | |||
2 | Gross Profit | £ | 5,565,215 | 3,018,202 | |||
3 | Gross Margin | % | 16 | 9 | |||
4 | Net Profit before Tax | £ | 4,263,667 | 1,792,586 | |||
Principal risks and uncertainties | |||||||
1 | The principal risk at this time is the continued economic uncertainty causing many clients to become more reticent to proceed with projects. Increased borrowing costs has also impacted the feasibility of some schemes. Thankfully the Light Industrial Sector where most of our work is concentrated has proven more resilient than other sectors in this regard. | ||||||
2 | High rates of inflation still persist and whilst we are starting to see these cost increases dampen it still an important factor not only in terms of cost control but determining whether schemes are viable to construct from a client's perspective. | ||||||
3 | Labour shortages in the UK economy continue to have an effect which in practice means that additional forward planning is required to mitigate such problems. In addition, we have to be realistic in the growth aspirations of our business in the short term as such business plans need to reflect the reality of trying to prudently grow in a market where labour demand outstrips supply. | ||||||
4 | Whilst we have always worked closely with our supply chain and remain vigilant in assessing the financial stability of the companies we work with, the present economic outlook brings additional focus to importance of this task. | ||||||

Harmonix Construction Limited Audit Report Unqualified |
Independent Auditor's Report to the members of Harmonix Construction Limited | |||||||||
Opinion | |||||||||
We have audited the financial statements of Harmonix Construction Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Financial Statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). | |||||||||
In our opinion the financial statements: | |||||||||
for the year then ended; • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. | |||||||||
Basis for opinion | |||||||||
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. | |||||||||
Conclusions relating to going concern | |||||||||
In auditing the accounts, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts is appropriate. | |||||||||
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the accounts are authorised for issue. | |||||||||
Our responsibilities and the responsibillities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. | |||||||||
Other information | |||||||||
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. | |||||||||
We have nothing to report in this regard. | |||||||||
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 | |||||||||
In our opinion, based upon the work undertaken in the course of the audit: | |||||||||
• the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and • the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. | |||||||||
Matters on which we are required to report by exception | |||||||||
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report. | |||||||||
• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or | |||||||||
• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or | |||||||||
• certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or | |||||||||
• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. | |||||||||
Responsibilities of directors | |||||||||
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. | |||||||||
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements | |||||||||
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. | |||||||||
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: | |||||||||
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. | |||||||||
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. | |||||||||
•Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||
•Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation (i.e. gives a true and fair view). | |||||||||
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. | |||||||||
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud | |||||||||
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: | |||||||||
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: | |||||||||
• the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; | |||||||||
• we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant business sector; | |||||||||
• we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; | |||||||||
• we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and | |||||||||
• identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. | |||||||||
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: | |||||||||
• making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; | |||||||||
• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and | |||||||||
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: | |||||||||
• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; | |||||||||
• tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; | |||||||||
• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; | |||||||||
• investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions; and | |||||||||
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: | |||||||||
• agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; | |||||||||
• reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; | |||||||||
• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; | |||||||||
• reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company’s legal advisors | |||||||||
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. | |||||||||
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. | |||||||||
Use of this report | |||||||||
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. | |||||||||

Harmonix Construction Limited Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 | ||||||||||||||||

2 | Accounting policies | |||||||||||||||
Revenue recognition | ||||||||||||||||
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: • the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; • the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and legal title is passed. | ||||||||||||||||
Taxation | ||||||||||||||||
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on 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. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 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. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation | ||||||||||||||||
Any revaluation increase or decrease on land and buildings is credited to the property revaluation reserve. Depreciation on revalued buildings is charged to profit or loss so as to write off their value, less residual value, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Once a revalued property is sold or retired any attributable revaluation surplus that is remaining in the property revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings. No transfer is made from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings unless an asset is derecognised. | ||||||||||||||||
losses. Depreciation on plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss so as to write off their value, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same manner as owned assets. At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether there is any indication that any items of property, plant and equipment have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. | ||||||||||||||||

Construction Contracts | ||||||||||||||||
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The percentage of completion method is used to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract cost incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining stage of completion. These costs are presented as stocks, prepayments or other assets depending on their nature, and provided it is probable they will be recovered. | ||||||||||||||||

Cash and cash equivalents | ||||||||||||||||
In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management. | ||||||||||||||||
Financial instruments | ||||||||||||||||
Debt instruments, like loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, 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 financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an outright short term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially and subsequently, at the present value of the future payment discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary and preference shares are measured: • At fair value with changes recognised in the Income Statement if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably; • At cost less impairment for all other investments. Financial assets, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include: • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or • breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. | ||||||||||||||||
Financial Instruments (Continued) | ||||||||||||||||
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Company's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 50 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. | ||||||||||||||||

Related parties | ||||||||||||||||
For the purposes of these financial statements, a party is considered to be related to the Company if: • the party has the ability, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the company in making financial and operating policy decisions, or has joint control over the Company; • the Company and the party are subject to common control; • the party is an associate of the Company or a joint venture in which the Company is a venturer; • the party is a member of key management personnel of the Company or the Company’s parent, or a close family member of such an individual, or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; • the party is a close family member of a party referred to in (i) or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; or • the party is a post-employment benefit plan which is for the benefit of employees of the Company or of any entity that is a related party of the Company. Close family members of an individual are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity. | ||||||||||||||||
Leased assets | ||||||||||||||||
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Company are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Company's policy on borrowing costs (see the accounting policy above). Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. | ||||||||||||||||
Defined contribution pensions | ||||||||||||||||
The contributions are recognised as an expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. | ||||||||||||||||
Provisions | ||||||||||||||||
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Income Statement in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of Financial Position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of Financial position. | ||||||||||||||||
3 | Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty | |||||||||||||||
In the application of company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision only affects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. | ||||||||||||||||
