Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 September 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

    Other accounting policies

    Debtors - Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Creditors - Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

Printed and launched a photobook for Sari Soininen, to support her exhibition in Finland. Attended BOP book fare at The Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol to sell books and to champion the photographers we support and promote. Organised a book signing event for 2 of our photographers at Martin Parr Foundation during BOP. We began designing our latest release, ‘Backdrop’, a playful series of pictures made by 7 photographers working in a frenzied collaboration. We released this book after the end of the tax year, but the design and preparation happened this year. For each £8 publication sold, £5 goes directly to Action Asylum.

Our stakeholders include: The photographers whose work we publish The audiences who purchase the books or engage with them through libraries, exhibitions and book fairs Workshop attendees (though we did not run a workshop this year) Galleries and publication who we collaborate with in the publication and promotion of our photobooks We didn’t carry out any formal consultation, but we’re constantly monitoring feedback from our audience via social media and personal interactions at bookfairs
