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 GBP.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Turnover comprises production income received. Production income is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings in the period it is contractually due and expended on production and other costs.
Where revenue received exceeds costs incurred to date and profits are not anticipated, the balance is treated as deferred income and held on the Statement of financial position until further costs are incurred or profits anticipated. At this point the deferred income is released to the Statement of income and retained earnings.
Film production costs incurred in producing a film are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income as cost of sales in the period in which they are incurred.
Tax is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates income.
The company is eligible to claim a tax credit on film production costs. The tax credit comprises relief based on total net costs and an additional deduction for enhanceable expenditure. The company claims a payment based on the amount of enhanced expenditure and carries losses arising from total net costs forward against future profits.
Short term debtors are measured at the transaction price, less any impairment.
