WAM GROUP HOLDINGS LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04088538)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

WAM Group Holdings Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company's accounting policies the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and libation's that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies the Director does not consider there to be judgements that would have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover represents rental income recognised to the period it relates and proceeds of property sales which are recognised at the point of exchange of contract.

Grant income
Grants are recognised at their fair value in profit or loss where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the company has complied with all the conditions.

Capital grants are initially recognised as deferred income on the balance sheet and credited to the profit and loss account by instalments on a basis consistent with the depreciation policy of the relevant asset, as adjusted for any impairment.

Revenue grants are credited to income as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - 4% on cost
Plant and Machinery - 20% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Cost comprises the purchase price of the asset and expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.

A fixed asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. 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 the income statement.

Impairment of fixed assets
The company performs impairment testing where there are any indicators of impairment. Impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable value of the asset. Recoverable value is the higher of net realisable value and estimated value in use at the date the impairment loss is recognised. Value in use represents the present value of expected future discounted cash flows. If incurred, impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying value of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of the recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying value does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately as a credit to the income statement.

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Deferred tax is provided against these gains at the rate expected to apply when the property is sold. The treatment is in line with the fair value provisions of the Companies Act.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.

Investment properties are reclassified as 'held for sale' assets from commencement of marketing for disposal, provided that the directors have reasonable expectation that they will be sold within a period of 12 months.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The company enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other receivables and payables, amounts due to and from related parties.

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Debt instruments like loans and other receivables and payables are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an outright short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially and subsequently, at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

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 profit or loss. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying value and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the assets 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 the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the group 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 recognised in the balance sheet 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. At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, such as property, plant and equipment are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell, is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or group of related assets is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or group of related assets in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Employee benefits
The company provides a range of benefits of employees, including paid holiday arrangements and defined contribution pension plans.

Short term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits, are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.

Investments
Shares in subsidiary undertakings in which the company has a controlling interest are stated at cost less any provisions for impairment.

Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents 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.

Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Functional and Presentation Currency
The company's functional and presentation currency is pounds sterling.
