Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Cromwell Music Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 00568907 . The registered office is Suite 2.07, Plaza 535, Kings Road, London, SW10 0SZ.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.  There were no material departures from the standard
2.2. Turnover
Turnover and other revenue is recognised at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.  Furthermore, revenue is recognised when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of the revenue can be reliably measured.
Turnover comproses royalty income which is recognised on a notified earnings basis.  
Other than where amounts are collected by the company’s overseas sub-publishers, royalties derived from the inclusion of the company’s copyrights on recorded music products or from performance are recognised when they are earned by the company from the relevant collection society or record company.  Similarly, except for overseas collected amounts, royalties derived from the synchronisation of the company’s copyrights are recognised as earned.  Royalty amounts collected overseas are recognised in the period the amounts are reportable to the company by the sub-publisher.
2.3. Financial Instruments
Basic financial instruments, whether financial assets or financial liabilities, are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Debtors and creditors falling due within one year are recognised at undiscounted transaction price.  Debtors are reviewed for impairment at the end of the financial year and any impairments are recognised in the profit and loss account. 
2.4. Foreign Currencies
The financial statements are presented in sterling and this is also the functional currency of the company.
Transactions in currencies (other than the functional currency) are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.  Monetary items denominated in other currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date.  All exchange differences arising are dealt with in the profit and loss account.

2.5. Taxation
Taxation comprises current taxation and deferred tax.
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable profit for the current or past financial years.  The company’s liability to current tax is measured using tax rates that have been enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax represents future tax consequences of transactions recognised in the current or past financial years.  Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences except that deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recoverable against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.  Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences.
2.6. Investments – shares in group undertakings and participating interests
The company’s investments are carried at cost, adjusted for impairment.
At the end of each financial year, the investments are reviewed for any indication of impairment loss. If there is any loss then the carrying amount of the investments is reduced to estimated recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.  If the impairment losses reverse, the carrying amount is increased and the reversal is recognised in the profit and loss account.
