Statement of compliance
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' Section 1A and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The company made a loss for the year ended 31 December 2024 but had net assets amounting to £52,906 at that date.
The nature of the company's business is straightforward with few fixed overheads. The directors are able to exercise control over the company's expenditure when required and looking to slim down future operations to cut costs.
The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. If the going concern basis were not appropriate, no additional liabilities would arise and no write down on the carrying value of assets would be required.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of licensed copyright images in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
Revenue from catalogue sales is recognised when the item is despatched. Revenue from licensing is recognised when the licence is granted.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024
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 taxable income.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
