NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Gibson Booth Business Solutions & Insolvency Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

| The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest pound.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| 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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

| Significant judgements and estimates

| No judgements have been made in the process of applying the below accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

| There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

| When the outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably, turnover from insolvency services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the balance sheet date. Stage of completion is measured by reference to amount billed compared to total amount due.

| Where the outcome cannot be measured reliably, turnover is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Tangible fixed assets

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

| Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

| Fixtures and fittings |  | - 25% reducing balance |  |

| Computer equipment |  | - 33% reducing balance |  |

| Motor vehicles |  | - 20% reducing balance |  |

| No depreciation charge has been calculated on Freehold land & buildings. The continual upkeep and maintenance of the property mean that its useful economic life is indefinite and as such any depreciation would be immaterial.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

| 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.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 11 (2024 - 11 ) .
