The financial statement are prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. However, the directors are aware of certain material uncertainties which may cause doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to the company’s historical performance and congoing losses. As a result, the parent company has agreed to provide continuing financial support to the company, for at least twelve months after the date of approval by the directors of the financial statements for the period ended 25 December 2024. To enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due and as such the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
