| London Procurement Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Plant & machinery etc - 15% on cost and/or over the term of the underlying lease. |
| The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is credited or charged to profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks and work in progress have been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
| At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stock over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss. |
| 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. |

| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Basic financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
| Equity Instruments |
| Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company. |
| All called up share capital is allotted and fully paid. |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. |
| The company is reliant on the support from group companies and the group has confirmed its continued support. The director has considered the working capital requirements across the group as a whole and is satisfied that the healthy cash reserves within the group are sufficient to complete projects and meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment. |
| In view of the above, and after taking into account all other information that could reasonably be expected to be available, the director is confident that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that the going concern basis is therefore appropriate for the preparation of the company’s financial statements. |
| 3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
| The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2023 - NIL). |
