Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. They are presented in £ Sterling which is the company's functional currency.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.

Tax

Tax is recognised in the profit or loss of the company.

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 taxable income.

Deferred taxation is provided on the liability method to take account of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for accounts purposes and their treatment for tax purposes.

Deferred tax is accounted for in respect of all material timing differences. Deferred tax is charged/(credited) to the profit and loss account.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised at the transaction price.

Provisions

Provisions are set up only where it is possible that a present obligation exists as a result of an event prior to the balance sheet date and that a payment will be required in settlement that can be estimated reliably. Where material, provisions are calculated on a discounted basis.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Financial instruments

Classification
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, trade creditors, bank loans and director's loans to the company.

 Recognition and measurement
Trade debtors and trade creditors are measured at the undiscounted amounts receivable from a customer or payable to a supplier, which is normally the invoice price.

Loans received from a bank at a market rate of interest are recognised at the amount of cash received from the bank, less separately incurred transaction costs.

Director's loans to the company which are repayable on demand are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash expected to be paid.

Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where the fair value of the shares cannot be measured reliably are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. The investment is not remeasured except where an independent valuation has been completed or impairment has been identified.


 Impairment
Trade debtors and investments in equity shares are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year was 0 (2023 - 0).
