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 Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
At the year end the Company is in a net liability position which is supported by an intercompany
receivable balance. The Company has received written confirmation from the parent company that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.
The directors have assessed the forecasts of the parent company for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and have concluded that the required support remains available to the Company. For these reasons, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Rendering of services
Turnover is recognised on a cost plus 5% basis, excluding management fees, in line with the intercompany service agreement with the parent company. Intercompany turnover is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the intercompany service agreement;
∙the costs incurred under the intercompany service agreement can be measured reliably.

Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
