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.

Going concerntrue

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate despite the company reporting a loss for the period and having net liabilities at the balance sheet date.

The company commenced trading during the year and is currently in the early stages of its commercial development. The directors have prepared detailed forecasts and cash flow projections which demonstrate that the company is expected to return to profitability and generate positive cash flows in future periods.

In addition, the company benefits from the ongoing financial backing of its ultimate parent company, which has confirmed that it will continue to provide financial support for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

On this basis, the directors believe that the company will have sufficient resources to meet its obligations as they fall due and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

Revenue comprises sales of goods or services provided to customers net of value added tax and other sales taxes, less an appropriate deduction for actual and expected returns and discounts. Revenue is recognised when performance obligations are satisfied and the control of goods or services is transferred to the buyer. Where the performance obligation is satisfied over time, revenue is recognised in accordance with its progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.

When cash inflows are deferred and represent a financing arrangement, the promised consideration is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money, which is recognised as interest income.

The company recognises revenue from the following major sources:

• Box office revenue, recognised on the day of the showing of the film that the ticket relates to. Retail revenue, including the sale of food and drink in the cinemas, recognised at the point of sale.

• Fees are charges for advanced bookings of tickets with revenue recognised at the point that the ticket is purchased.

Land and buildings held and used in the company's own activities are stated in the financial statements at their cost value or by their current valuation.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets are charged to the profit and loss so as to write off their value, over their estimated useful lives, using the following methods:

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.

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items of tangible fixed assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an 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 the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Costs includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

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.

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.

The obligations for contributions to defined contribution scheme are recognised as an expense as incurred. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independent administered fund.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Trade and other creditors

Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
