NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2024

1.


General information

H & S Simmons Limited is a private Company limited by shares incorporated in England within the United Kingdom. The registered office is Tennyson House, Cambridge Business Park, Cambridge, CB4 0WZ.
The principal activity of the Company continued to be that of a holding Company.
This Company is the parent of a group.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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 Company's functional and presentational currency is Pounds sterling.
The level of rounding is to the nearest £.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

The directors have considered the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. They have concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate because sufficient funds will be generated from future trading of the company's subsidiaries and continued support from the directors for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they arise.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the withdrawal of this support.

 
2.3

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.4

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

No depreciation has been provided on freehold property as it is maintained in such a state of repair that its residual value is at least equal to its net book value. As a result the corresponding depreciation would not be material, and therefore is not charged to the profit and loss account.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
not depreciated

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.6

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.7

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

 
2.8

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value.

 
2.9

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Employees

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 2 (2023 - 2).
