Accounting policies
Company information
The Hollies Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 5th Floor, 3 Dorset Rise, London, EC4Y 8EN.
1.1
Reporting period
During the prior year, the end of the entity’s reporting period changed to 31 May. Therefore the comparative results are presented for a period of thirteen months and are not entirely comparable to the current year results.
1.2
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. 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 financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.3
Revenue
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the fees receivable and royalties received during the year stated net of value added tax. Revenue from events is recognised in the period in which the event took place.
1.4
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.
1.5
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
1.6
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes 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 reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
1.7
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.
