Accounting policies
Company information
Sparkwell Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Beacon House, 15 Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH1 3LB.
1.1
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 euro, 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, modified to include the revaluation of investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Turnover
Turnover represents gross rents receivable from tenants of the company's freehold investment properties. Rental income is recognised in the financial statements in the period to which the rental income actually relates.
1.3
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold investment properties
None
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
It is the company's policy to maintain the properties so that the estimated residual value will not be impaired over time. The costs of this maintenance are charged to the statement of income and retained earnings as incurred. The directors are of the opinion that any depreciation in respect of the company's freehold properties would be immaterial and consequently no provision is made in the accounts for such depreciation.
1.4
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
1.5
Financial instruments
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

1.6
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and, where not previously recognised, past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
1.7
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than euro are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Critical judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Investment property
The judgement that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is the fair value estimates by the directors of the freehold investment properties as at 31 December 2024. However, if the properties were to be sold then the amounts realised could be higher or lower than these estimates potentially generating a material profit or loss on disposal depending upon the circumstances of any future sales.

The freehold investment properties have been revalued by the directors as at 31 December 2024 at fair value based upon their own assessment assisted by informal valuation advice from local property professionals.
