NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025


1	GENERAL INFORMATION

	Ettington Black Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office and principal place of business are:

	Registered office	Principal place of business
	C9 Glyme Court	Park House
	Oxford Office Village	Lower End
	Langford Lane	Alvescot
	Kidlington	Oxford
	Oxford	OX18 2QA
	OX5 1LQ

	The company ceased to trade on 30 April 2025.

	The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.

2	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	Basis of preparation of financial statements

	These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102') and the Companies Act 2006.

	Going concern

The accounts have been drawn up on a basis other than going concern as the company ceased to trade on 30 April 2025. As the going concern basis is not appropriate, adjustments have been made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for additional liabilities that might arise as a result of the cessation and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets.


	Revenue recognition

	Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. It is recognised in respect of training and development services as soon as there is a right to consideration and is determined by reference to the value of the work performed. Turnover is stated net of trade discounts.

	The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

2	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…)

	Tangible fixed assets

	Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

	Depreciation has been provided at the following rates so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less residual value of the assets over their estimated useful lives.

	Furniture and fittings					Reducing balance basis at 15% per annum
	Office equipment					Reducing balance basis at 15% per annum

	On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in the profit and loss account, and included within administrative expenses.

	Financial Instruments

	A financial asset or financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

	The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

	Where investments in non-derivative financial instruments are publicly traded, or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value through the profit and loss account.


	Basic financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price and measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. They are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment. If the effect of the time value of money is immaterial, they are measured at cost less impairment.

	Basic financial assets and liabilities which are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective impairment at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account immediately.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in the profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset or liability which exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment loss not previously been recognised.


	Financing transactions are measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. They are subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025


2	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…)

	Impairment of non-financial assets

	At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property 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 cost 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 the profit and loss account.

	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 the profit and loss account.


	Debtors

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

	Creditors

	Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost.

	Taxation

	Taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period.

	A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods based on current tax rates and laws. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period.

	Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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 taxable profits.

	Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

	Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
