2.Accounting policies
|
|
Summary of significant accounting policies
|
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all reporting periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, and the UK Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Financial Reporting Standard 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies.
Details of those estimates and/or judgments made in applying the Company's accounting policies towards the preparation of these financial statements that may be considered as yielding a significant risk of a material adjustment being made to the carrying amounts of assets and/or liabilities reported in the balance sheet during the next financial reporting period are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.
|
|
Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements
|
The Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by virtue of sections 383 and 399 of the Companies Act 2006 as the Company and its subsidiary undertakings, both individually and on consolidation, are subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements therefore present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The director accepts that although there does exist an inherent uncertainty that may cast doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, as is the case with all companies; the director considers the uncertainty to be sufficiently insignificant, given the Company's observed operational activity during the year ended 30 June 2024, expected operational activity for the foreseeable future and net asset position as at the balance sheet date, such that the application of going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements remains appropriate and in turn has prepared the Company's financial statements under said basis.
Fixed asset investments comprise of holdings in unlisted company shares of subsidiary undertakings. Such holdings are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at cost less provision for impairment at the balance sheet date.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities; with said financial assets and liabilities classified in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual obligations rather than its legal form.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet upon becoming party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or the financial asset is transferred along with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The measurement of specific financial assets, financial liabilities and equity is as outlined below:
Debtors
Debtors are initially measured at transaction price (i.e fair value) and subsequently held, at transaction price less provision for impairment of assets.
Creditors
Creditors are initially measured and subsequently held at transaction price (i.e fair value).
Equity
Ordinary share capital, shown in equity, is initially measured and subsequently held at its nominal value.
Where the transaction price for issued shares exceeds their nominal value, the difference is shown under equity in a share premium account with any directly attributable transaction costs associated with the issuing of said shares deducted from said share premium account.
Where a redemption or purchase of the Company's own shares is made out of distributable profits or, in certain circumstances, from the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares, the maintenance of the Company's capital base is ensure by a transfer of equity to a capital redemption reserve,

|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the director is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although the expected outcome of said estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results; estimates and judgments made are continually reevaluated and are based on historical experience as well as other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The judgments, estimates and assumptions that are considered as having a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are addressed below:
Impairment of debtors
When assessing the recoverable value, the director considers a variety of factors including the ageing profile of the debt, historical and market experience with the debtor and the quality of communications to date.
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 1 (2023 - 1).
