Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Songways Service Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 00885677 . 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
FRS 102 is the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.  The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from the standard.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover 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.  
Fees for provision of management services
Fees for the provision of management services are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period to which they accrue.
2.3. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Intellectual Property
Intellectual property assets comprise software licence costs. 
Software licence costs are recognised as intangible fixed assets and measured at cost less amortisation and impairment losses.  The cost is amortised evenly over the useful economic life or, if shorter, the licence term.  The economic life is considered to be 10 years.
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 25%
Fixtures & Fittings 15%
Computer Equipment 33.33%
At the end of each financial year, the tangible fixed assets are reviewed for any indication of impairment.  If there are any losses then the carrying amounts of the tangible fixed assets are reduced to their estimated recoverable amounts and the impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss account.  If the impairment losses reverse, the carrying amounts are increased and the reversal is recognised in the profit and loss account.

2.5. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets held under finance leases (being rental agreements under which the company has assumed substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership) are capitalised as tangible fixed assets.  The corresponding lease obligations (net of the interest charge) are included as liabilities.  The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligations outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.6. 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.
2.7. Taxation
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.
2.8. Pensions
The company operates a contributory defined contribution pension scheme for the benefit of its employees.  The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company.  Pension contributions are charged to the profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred.
3. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 9 (2023: 9)
