Company information
Emmyland Ltd. is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 26-29 Brockley Close Business Centre, 96 Endwell Road, London, England, SE4 2PD.
1.1
Reporting period
The financial statements have been prepared for a full 12 month accounting period to 31 December 2024. The prior year year covered an 11 month period due to a shortened reporting date as part of alignment with the calendar year. Therefore, these financial statements are not wholly comparable to the prior period.
1.2
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. 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 financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.3
Going concern
The company is in a net current liability position of £535,519 at the balance sheet date. Of this amount, £13,538 is in relation to funds owed to the directors.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.
Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.4
Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.
1.5
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold improvements
Useful economic life of 10 years
Rental assets
Varying useful economic life of 4 - 30 years with varying residual balances of 5- 30%
Fixtures and fittings
15% reducing balance
IT equipment
3 years straight line
Motor vehicles
25% on reducing balance and at varying rates on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
1.6
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.
1.7
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8
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.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
1.9
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
1.10
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.12
Leases
As lessee
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Rental Assets comprise the portfolio of cameras, lenses, monitors and all associated accessories which is made available for rental to customers and which forms a key revenue generating asset.
Rental Assets are classified into a number of individual categories (as described below). In many instances the real world value of these assets can show very low depreciation and very high residual values and in certain circumstances, such as celluloid film cameras, can see year on year appreciation in value. To better account for the true cost of these assets the depreciation reflects the economic value of these assets. The table below shows the cost of each of the categories of Rental Asset together with the Useful Economic Life and the Residual Value at the end of the end of that life.
Useful Economic
Rental Assets £ Life (Years) Residual Value(%)
Category A Lenses 929,168 30 30%
Category B Film Cameras 85,881 15 30%
Category C Cameras, Filters, etc 817,096 10 15%
Category D Monitors, Batteries 137,591 8 10%
Category E Other 40,558 4 5%
Total 2,010,294
Right-of-use assets held under finance leases make up £274,360 of the total Rental Asset value noted above.
