Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

First Call Traffic Management Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


The company's principal place of business is Rear of 1, Warrengate Road, North Mymms, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL9 7TT.

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.

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 with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover is earned from the rendering of services and is recognised at the completion of a shorter contract or by reference to the stage of completion of a larger contract.

Where the invoice has been raised in advance of work being performed this balance is recognised as deferred income.

Where a longer project is undertaken and revenue to be recognised exceeds that which has been invoiced the project revenue is recognised as accrued income

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration costs.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Plant and machinery20% straight line
Motor vehicles20% reducing balance
Computer equipment33% straight line

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
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 year 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Hire purchase
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.

Going concern
In assessing the company's financial position and resources, the Directors have taken into account current contracts in place and current and future trading.

On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position and resources, the Directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risk. Therefore, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classed as equity.

Short term debtors and creditors
Short term debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cash held with banks and bank overdrafts.

Distributions to equity holders
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the company's shareholders. These amounts are recognised in the statement of changes in equity.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 43 (2023 - 48 ) .
