Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 July 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Provisions Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Company activities and impact

City of Lights uses creativity to inspire the community to make and experience parades, workshops, garden installations and light projects across Cornwall. We specialise in lantern making, however we do work across a number of creative platforms and explore the possibilities of applying light as a spectacle. We work with a broad range of ages and abilities. In 20/21 we adapted our approach to provide accessible and covid safe events. This included smaller events, working outdoors as much as possible and limiting numbers.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders have been projects based. Each project has been designed to suit the client's brief and to benefit the community. We bring our activity and tailor it to suit our stakeholders and audience. Key partners for this period were local schools and community groups.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received

Transfer of assets
