2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The directors intend to liquidate the company within the next 12 months and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. The company plans to transfer its assets and liabilities at their carrying value as at the date of closure to its parent or other group companies. Therefore, the directors have concluded that the historical cost convention remains an appropriate basis for the preparation of the financial statements. |
Related party exemption |
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 entered into between two or more members of a group, provided that any subsidiary which is party to the transaction is wholly owned. |
Turnover |
Turnover is recognised at the time that cash is received. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Brand name |
The brand name acquired at time of incorporation is to be written off in equal annual instalments over its estimated useful economic life of 10 years. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Plant and machinery - 10% per annum on cost |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 |
As a result of the material uncertainty regarding going concern, the directors believe that it is not prudent to account for deferred tax assets nor necessary to account for deferred tax liability within these financial statements. |
3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2022 - NIL). |

9. | DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 444(5B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 |
The Report of the Auditors was qualified on the following basis: |
Basis for disclaimer of opinion |
Within the financial statements turnover is made up entirely of sales to group companies and is included at £671,587 (2022: £102,581). We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to confirm the validity or occurrence of the underlying transactions relating to these figures. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts and retained earnings for 2023 and 2022 were necessary. |
Within the financial statements cost of sales of £606,176 (2022: £57,854) includes purchases from group companies of £598,946 (2022: £17,000). We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to confirm the validity or occurrence of the underlying transactions relating to these figures. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts and retained earnings for 2023 and 2022 were necessary. |
The financial statements include the cost of intangible fixed assets as £70,963 (2022: £70,963). We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to support these figures. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the values of intangible fixed assets and retained earnings for 2023 and 2022 were necessary. |
The company depends on other group companies for the provision of various administrative and other services and has also received a loan of £167,055 (2022: £167,055). However, no costs for these services nor any interest relating to the loan have been included in the financial statements. These omissions have a potential impact on the company's Corporation Tax obligations. Additionally, the other matters noted above could also have tax implications. As a result, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the Corporation Tax Charge and retained earnings for 2023 and 2022 may be necessary. |
As a result of these matters, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments were necessary in respect of recorded or unrecorded items described above and contained within the income statement and balance sheet. Consequently, we are issuing a disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements. |
