| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Marbo International Limited is a private company, limited by shares, domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 04193089. The registered office is Unit 9, Dalton Way, Middlewich, Cheshire, CW10 0HU. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with FRS 102 Section 1A - The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The principle accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
| The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£). |
| Financial instruments |
| The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it related to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| (i) Current tax |
| Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end. |
| Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. |
| (ii) Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax arises from timing differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. |
| Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date except for certain exceptions. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only recognised when 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 tax rates and laws that have enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Income from shares in associate undertakings |
| Income from shares in associate undertakings shown in the profit and loss represents dividends receivable from associated companies. Dividends receivable are recognised in the period in which the dividends are declared and approved. |
