Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss. The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity
Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
Going concern
After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. In establishing whether to continue to report under the going concern assumption we have considered the following points: - The impact on the day to day trade of the business - The impact on the ability of our suppliers to meet our needs - The impact of our staff's ability to perform their duties - The impact on our cash position of a period of minimum activity A detailed budget and cashflow have been prepared for the production and delivery of the animation series. Funds to meet the cashflow requirements are contractually in place and the directors do not anticipate any material overspend. After considering all factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.
Comparatives
The accounts cover the year from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The comparatives cover the period from incorporation on 19 October 2022 to 31 December 2023.
The accounting period has been shortened to ensure that the accounting period and tax credit claim is conterminous.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying small entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under section 1A of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
There are no material judgements or estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements.
Work in progress
Work-in-progress relates to direct production costs, net of tax credits, subsidies and grants, incurred on productions not delivered during the period. Production costs are recognised in the profit and loss accounts as soon as the animation is delivered and the related production revenue is recognised.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. A grant specifies performance conditions are recognised in income when the performance conditions are met, which for the company means recognising the income in line with production costs incurred.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Intra-group borrowings are debt instruments and are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using an effective interest method.
4.
