2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Company has net liabilities of £632,897, however within total liabilities of £898,845 there are inter-company creditors of £806,362.
Marcus Evans Holdings (IOM) Ltd has confirmed that currently, as a major creditor of the UK company, it will not demand repayment of the amounts outstanding until such a time that the Company is able to make repayments without having a detrimental impact on the Company. The period for not demanding payment is at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.
Marcus Evans Holdings (IOM) Ltd has also confirmed that it will currently continue to provide financial resources as may be required for the Company to meet its financial commitments as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and Company also has group financial support available in case of financial difficulties. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional currency is the South African Rand, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates, and its presentational currency is GBP.
The company established a branch in South Korea and their functional currency is South Korean Won.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Revenue arises from the provision of services in respect of management and arrangement of conferences. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amount for the provision of services in the normal course of business, net of discounts, and other sales-related taxes.
Revenue is recognised at the completion of the conference, until which point the amounts invoiced are recorded as a deferred income.
Directly attributable event expenses are recognised in the year in which the event has been completed. Expenses that relate to an event taking place in a subsequent financial year but are recorded as prepayments in the statement of financial position.
|
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
