Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Other accounting policies

    Other income Other income is predominantly derived from consultancy and training services provided to external parties. Other income is recognised under the IFRS 15 five step model, and represents amounts receivable for services provided, net of discounts and value added tax. The Company will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Employee benefits The Company accounts for pensions under IAS 19 "Employee benefits". The Company operates a defined contribution pension plan. All contributions are recognised as an expense in the Income statement as incurred. All other employee related costs are expensed in the year to which they relate. Leasing agreements As of 1 January 2019, the Company has adopted the modified retrospective approach of IFRS 16 for all material operating leases (office leases). Prior to this, these leases were classified as operating leases under IAS 17. Both the lease liability and ROU asset have been calculated as the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was 2.77% based on the most recent cost of debt incurred for the Company for a loan of similar duration. The ROU asset is depreciated on a straight line basis over the life of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Income Statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Taxation The tax expense for the year comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in the Income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are amounts due from the Battersea Project Holding Company Limited Group for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value, subsequently at amortised cost and where relevant adjusted for the time value of money. The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 12 months before 31 December 2024 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The Company has identified that the current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors have no correlation with the collectability of trade receivables and no adjustments in these factors were made. Trade receivables are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the company, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 365 days past due. Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against net operating expense in the Income statement. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank balances which are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of change in value. Trade and other payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade and other payables on standard credit terms are non-interest bearing and are stated at their nominal value which is considered to be their fair value. Trade payables on extended terms are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition of the asset to which they relate. The discount to nominal value is amortised over the year of the credit term and charged to finance costs. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
