NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 1 APRIL 2023 TO 30 MARCH 2024

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Wolds Wildlife Park Limited 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.

| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

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.

| 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

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Enclosure, buildings and infrastructure | - | not provided

| Plant and machinery | - | 15% on reducing balance

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% on cost

| Animals | - | not provided

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

| Stocks

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

| Financial instruments

| The company has chosen to adopt the FRS 102A in respect of financial instruments.

| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitute a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

| At the end of each reporting period, financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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 statement of financial position date.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

| 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.

| Going concern

| Despite negative shareholder fund the directors considers that the going concern basis is appropriate since they will not demand full payment of their current account balance until the company is in a position to repay their balance without affecting its ability to trade.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the period was 15 (2023 - 15 ) .
