Notes to the Financial Statements |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Arcadia Developments Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The shareholders have confirmed their intention to continue to provide financial support to enable the company to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the director is satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Arcadia Developments Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period. or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. There are no significant judgements or estimates involved in the preparation of the financial statements. |
Property, plant and equipment |
Property plant and equipment under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. |
Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
Fixtures and fittings - 3 years straight line |
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Income statement. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the fair value of the consideration given, including any directly attributable transaction costs. |
If there is an indication that an investment in a subsidiary has suffered impairment, the carrying amount is reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted to reflect the revised recoverable amount. Impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
Basic financial assets and liabilities, which include debtors, creditors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
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 statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Fixed asset investments |
Fixed asset investments, which include shares, bonds and alternative investments, are initially recognized at fair value, which is the transaction price, including any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value at each reporting date. |
- Publicly Traded Shares: The fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognized in the profit and loss account. |
- Bonds: Bonds are measured at fair value based on quoted prices. Changes in fair value are recognized in the profit and loss account. |
- Alternative Investments: Alternative investments are measured at fair value using valuation techniques appropriate to the nature of the investment. Where fair value cannot be reliably measured, the investment is held at cost less impairment. |
Where investments are measured at fair value, impairment is not separately assessed. Any changes in the fair value, whether positive or negative, are recognized directly in the profit and loss account. |
On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount at the date of disposal is recognized in the profit and loss account. |
Investments classified as fixed assets are those intended to be held for the long term. Short-term investments held for trading or liquidity purposes are classified as current assets. |
