Mr J D Moodie - Director

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Apollo Business Finance Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements are for a long period of seventeen months. This has been done to bring the company's year end in line with group.

Significant judgements and estimates

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Turnover

Turnover comprises fees for the provision of invoice financing services, net of Value Added Tax, and is recognised as explained below.

Fee income from invoice factoring and discounting is recognised on an accruals basis as services are provided, in line with contractual agreements with clients.

Ancillary to the provision of finance to its customers, the company provides various services for which it charges a fee. Income for these services is recognised as the service is provided.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings

-

25% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of section 11 ' Basic Financial Instruments' and section 12 'Other Financial Instruments issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The company's financial assets include trade debtors (invoices factored) and cash at bank. These are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost less impairment.

Financial liabilities include borrowings and trade creditors (including client balances payable), measured at amortised cost.

Impairment of financial assets

The carrying amounts of financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Where a client is in financial difficulty or receivables are unlikely to be recovered, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost, with interest charged to the profit and loss account on an effective interest basis. Borrowing costs in relation to the back-back financing facility are shown within cost of sales. The facility is used to provide invoice finance to clients and is backed by the underlying debts of the clients.

Taxation

Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred 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.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

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 future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
