Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Jemm Capital Limited (registered number:
|
A L de Normann
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Jemm Capital Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the company's registered office is 22 Chancery Lane, London, WC2A 1LS, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and the directors have agreed not to seek repayment of the balances owed for at least twelve months from the date of these accounts.
Group accounts exemption s399
As the company is subject to the small companies regime, group accounts have not been prepared.
The current 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 taxable income.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
The company has taken advantage of an exemption and has chosen to account for loans from a director at transaction price rather than at present value.
Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. The investments are assessed at each reporting date as to whether there are any indications that the investment may be impaired. Where there is an indication of impairment, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the investment is made. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and that reduction is recognised as an impairment in profit or loss.
Investments in equity shares that are publicly traded are measured at fair value.
Investments in associated undertakings and joint ventures are carried at cost, less provision for impairment.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities, or equity instruments.
