NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Ashbrook Holdings Ltd is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is:
2 Ward Road
Bletchley
Milton Keynes
Buckinghamshire
MK1 1JA
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102') and the Companies Act 2006.
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. It is recognised in respect of management services as soon as there is a right to consideration and is determined by reference to the value of the work performed. Turnover is stated net of trade discounts and value added tax.
The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rate so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less residual value of the assets over their estimated useful lives.
Computer equipment 33% straight line basis per annum
On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in the profit and loss account, and included within administrative expenses.
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are shown at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…)
Financial Instruments
A financial asset or financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Where investments in non-derivative financial instruments are publicly traded, or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value through the profit and loss account.
Basic financial assets and liabilities which are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective impairment at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account immediately.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised in the profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset or liability which exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment loss not previously been recognised.
Financing transactions are measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. They are subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets (which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset, or group of related assets, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset, or group of related assets, in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost, less any impairment.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…)
Creditors
Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred.
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The amount charged to the profit and loss account in respect of pension costs and other post-retirement benefits is the amount payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable and contributions actually paid in the year are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.
Consolidation
The company is a parent company subject to the small companies regime. The company and its subsidiary comprise a small group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the option provided by section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts.
3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The directors have made key assumptions in determining the fair value of the company's investments in its subsidiaries.
