Company information

Alight Bus Shelter Media Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 12 New Fetter Lane, London, United Kingdom, EC4A 1JP.

1.1
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 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 £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below, which have been applied consistently in all periods.

 

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

 

 

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Radiant Holdco Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, 12 New Fetter Lane, London, United Kingdom, EC4A 1JP.

1.2
Going concern

Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and group have adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future, which is considered to be at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

 

In making this assessment, the directors have reviewed the group’s forecasts, projections, and available resources, including current cash reserves, available credit facilities, and expected future cash flows. They have also considered potential risks and uncertainties, including the impact of external factors on trading performance and liquidity.

 

As part of this evaluation, the directors have also considered the financial support provided by the parent company. The group has received a formal letter of support from the parent, confirming its intention and ability to provide financial assistance as needed to ensure that the group can meet its obligations as they fall due. This support is a significant factor in the directors’ assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Based on this review, and taking into account the parent company's commitment, the directors believe that the company is well-positioned to manage its business risks successfully. Therefore, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

 

No material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern have been identified.

1.3
Turnover

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for 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 commissions, trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

Rendering of services

 

Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

1.4
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 on a straight line basis over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and equipment
Term of the contract for enclosures; 8 years for digital screens

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.

1.5
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).

1.6
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include deposits held at call with banks.

1.7
Financial instruments

The company only has basic financial instruments measured at amortised cost, with no financial instruments classified as other or basic instruments measured at fair value.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors, amounts owed by group undertakings, and cash at bank, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Classification of financial liabilities

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.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and amounts owed to group undertakings, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.8
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs.

1.9
Leases

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 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.

1.10
Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
