Accounting policies
Company information

Datalase Holdings Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 3 Wheldon Road, Widnes, Chesire, WA8 8FW.

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

 

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 2).

These financial statements have been presented in pound sterling which is the functional currency of the Company, and rounded to the nearest £.

The following principle accounting policies have been applied:

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts, on the basis that the group of which this is the parent qualifies as a small group. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.

1.2
Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.true

 

The directors have carefully considered risks, including an assessment of future trading for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, and the extent to which any risks might affect the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis. As such the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the annual financial statements.

1.3
Fixed asset investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

1.4
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

1.5
Financial instruments

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

 

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is an 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.

1.6

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.7

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Critical judgements

The critical judgements that the Director has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the statutory financial statements:

Assessing indicators of impairment

A critical judgement has been made in assessing the impairment of fixed asset investments, resulting in an impairment charge of £238,311 recognised in the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024: £Nil). Management has considered the financial performance, net asset position and future prospects of the investee companies and judged that the carrying value of certain investments is no longer fully recoverable. Given the inherent uncertainty in forecasting future performance, the impairment assessment involved significant judgement and may be subject to change if conditions improve or deteriorate.

 

Refer to note 6 detailing the fixed asset investments

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

There are no key assumptions concerning the future, or other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
