NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the year ended 30 June 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Montgomery Exhibitions Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Angus Montgomery Limited. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including explanations of future events that are believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions |
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below; |
(i) Useful economic life of intangible assets. |
The annual amortisation charge for intangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on the performance of the relevant shows. The useful economic life of intangible assets is considered to be 20 years. |
Going concern |
As described on the balance sheet the company has total net current liabilities of £245,166. The directors of the company have reviewed the company's financial forecast to 30 June 2025 and based on these forecast the directors are of the view that the company is a going concern due to increased profitability. |
In addition the board of Angus Montgomery Limited has indicated in writing that it will continue to financially support the company for a period of at least one year from the approval date of these financial statements. On this basis the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
If the company were unable to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the balance sheet values of assets to their recoverable amounts, and to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify fixed assets and long-term liabilities as current assets and liabilities. |

Revenue recognition |
Revenue represents the income receivable from the organisation and management of exhibitions that occur in the financial period, net of value added tax. |
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary nature of the business. The fair value of the consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebate. |
Income and directly allocable costs arising from exhibitions are to be taken to the profit and loss account in the financial period in which the relevant exhibitions take place. Income and directly related costs arising from exhibitions to be held at a date subsequent to the balance sheet date are not taken to the profit and loss account but are treated as deferred exhibition income and deferred expenditure and included in the balance sheet as deferred exhibition income and deferred exhibition costs respectively. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are stated at cost on acquisition less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the depreciable amount of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful life as follows: |
Exhibition rights - over 20 years. |
Amortisation is charged as Administrative expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
Current 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 taxation |
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. |

Foreign currencies |
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is also the the functional currency of the company. |
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currencies) are initially recorded at the standard exchange rate ruling for the period.. |
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. |
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction or, if the asset or liability is measured at fair value, the rate when that fair value was determined. |
All translation differences are taken to profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to gains or losses on non-monetary items recognised in other comprehensive income, when the related translation gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |

Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt Section 11 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments as it has only basic financial instruments. |
a) Basic financial assets |
Trade and other debtors, loans to fellow group companies, loans to related companies, other debtors and bank balances, which are due within one year are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amortised cost being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. |
At the end of each reporting period basic financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
If there is decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. |
A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or are settled, or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
b) Basic financial liabilities and equity |
Financial liabilities are classified as liabilities and equity instruments 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. |
Trade creditors, other creditors and loans from fellow group and related companies are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amortised cost, being transaction price less any amounts settled. |
Bank overdrafts and invoice discounting facility are presented within creditors: amounts falling due within one year. |
Other loans are initially recognised at the transaction price, including transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and other similar charges. |
Basic financial liabilities are derecognised when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. |
c) Equity instruments |
The ordinary share capital of the company is classified as equity and recorded at fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. |
