Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Astronaut Films Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Production Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be measured reliably. Production revenue is usually recognised on delivery of the show to the customer. Overspends are recognised as soon as they arise and anticipated underspends are recognised on the completion of the programme.

Distribution Revenue
Royalty Income form 3rd party distributors is recognised on statement receipts basis as this is when the revenue is measurable. Otherwise, royalty income is recognised on an accruals basis, on receipt of information from the distributor.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost or valuation less the estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life:

Fixtures, fittings and office equipment 20% Straight line

Computer equipment 33% Straight line

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 balance sheet date.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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 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.

Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of any transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Cost recognition
Development Costs
Development costs are generally expensed as incurred to the income statement. Where development funding has been received, the revenue is recognised on a cost-plus basis. However, if a firm commitment exists which indicates that current and future expenses will be recoverable, development costs are capitalised in the costs of a programme. These costs are capitalised in WIP as a part of a specific project expected to be set for production.

Production Costs Recognition
Productions costs are ordinarily accumulated by individual programmes in four chronological steps: acquisition of story rights; pre-production (which includes script development, costume design, set design, and construction); principal photography (which includes shooting the production); and post-production (which includes sound synchronisation and editing); culminating in the completed master negative. All costs are capitalised to Work in Progress (WIP) until the point at which the WIP balance is recognised or consumed on the income statement, generally as delivery of the episodes occurs.
