Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 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, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Plant and machinery etc - over the term of the lease

    Other accounting policies

    Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. During the year the CIC ended its lease on the building and ceased providing escape rooms, however it did still undertake a number of mobile school interactions. After the year end the directors made the decision to cease all activities and start the process of shutting the CIC on the basis that its original mission had been fulfilled. No adjustments to the balance sheet were deemed necessary for this. Grants Where the conditions for grants to be received had been met by the balance sheet date, the grant income has been recognised within the income statement, with a corresponding debtor for amounts that were not received until after the balance sheet date. Where grants are related to the purchase of capital items, these grants are released to the income statement over the life of the related assets. Taxation Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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 tax 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 period 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. 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.

Company activities and impact

The company provides a series of escape room (puzzle rooms), an exhibition centre promoting the restoration of a Grade II* listed local building (the Leas Lift) and a community space for workshops promoting a range of skills (e.g. English literacy, IT literacy, maths, geography, basic construction and story telling to name a few) to young people and those from marginalised communities. The aim is to promote awareness of the Leas Lift to aid in its restoration as an important community and historical asset whilst also promoting basic skills in a deprived area of Kent. During the 2023/24 year this has been achieved through the following: - Local school children attending basic skills workshops - Members of the local community have participated in the rooms at discounted rates - Members of the public and local school children have viewed the exhibition centre promoting the important of the Leas Lift as a community asset - We retained our TripAdvisor Travel Award
