NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1.Accounting policies
The Company's principal activity is funeral arrangement services.
Fenix Funeral Ltd is a private company limited by shares. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fenix Family AB and is incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is 15 Whitehall, London, SW1A 2DD.
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Section 1A 'Small Entities' of Financial Reporting Standard 102, ‘the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland’ (“FRS 102”) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The director has prepared projections for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These projections have been prepared using assumptions which the director considers to be appropriate to the financial position of the Company with regards to expected revenues and its cost base.
Fenix Family AB, the Company's parent, has confirmed that it will not seek repayment of the amounts due to it as at 31 December 2024 and will provide additional financial support up to the value of £100,000 to enable the Company to continue to meet its liabilities for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
The cap on available funding to be provided by the Company's parent company represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of more than 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. However, based on available projections, the director is confident that this uncertainty can be managed to a successful outcome and accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The accounts do not reflect any adjustments that would be reuqired if they were prepared on a basis other than the going concern basis.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue is recognised to the extent that the Company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts, rebates and value added tax. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The company's functional and presentation currency is the pound sterling.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Profit and Loss Account under 'administrative expenses'.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.
Short term debtors and creditors
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in ‘administrative expenses’.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally 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 expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax
Current tax is the amount of corporation 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.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and profit on ordinary activities before taxation 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 been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1.Accounting policies (continued)
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
|
|
|
Related party transactions
|
The Company discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the same group. It does not disclose transactions with members of the same group that are wholly owned. Where appropriate, transactions of a similar nature are aggregated unless, in the opinion of the directors separate disclosure is necessary to understand the effect of the transactions on the Company’s financial statements.
|
|
|
Defined contribution pension plans
|
The Company contributes to a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
|
|
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In preparing the financial statements management are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. Whilst management have made judgments, estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements, they consider that these have not had a significant effect on amounts recognised.
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 1 (31 December 2023 - 1).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
As the profit and loss account has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006.
The auditors' report on the financial statements and reports for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, which was audited by F. W. Smith, Riches & Co. (Statutory Auditors) and signed on their behalf of the auditor by Jane Lowden (Senior Statutory Auditor) on 25 June 2025, was unqualified.
The auditors' report contains the following paragraph:
We draw attention to note 1.3 in the financial statements, which notes that the company is dependent on the support of its parent company for funding. As stated in note 1.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 1.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
