Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended
31 March 2025

1 General information

The company is a private company limited by shares and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is
50-52 Brookmans Business Park
,
Brookmans Park
,
Hertfordshire
,
AL9 6NE
, England.

2 Statement of compliance

These
financial statements
have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102 Section 1A, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

3 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The
financial statements
have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The
financial statements
are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.
The statement of income and retained earnings on page 5 is a statement of income received and expenses paid during the 12 months to the year end, except that:
a) Contributions from Members are the amounts due and not amounts received during the year. This income is derived from a fixed monthly charge which all members pay together with a percentage of the fees received by each member. In order to enable these monthly levies to be rendered on time, each Member's monthly percentage levy is based upon that Member's previous month's receipts.
b) Expense accruals and provisions, which were unpaid at the year end, are included.
c) Only substantial expense prepayments at the balance sheet date are carried forward into the next accounting year.
Rights to amend
The company retains the right to amend these financial statements, if required.
Tangible assets
The directors have deemed that the company's tangible fixed assets have no value, so any additions, sale and/or improvement to the property, office equipment, library and its other facilities have and will in the future be written off directly to the income and expenditure account, as was the position in the Chambers' previous administrative state. This is contrary to Current Accounting Standards, but the directors believe this to be the correct treatment for a mutual trading company, such as this.

Revenue & taxation recognition

The company has no turnover as it is a mutual trading entity. As none of the company's income and property can be shared by any Member and no Member is allowed to benefit from the company's winding up, taxation is thus due only on its investment income and it has no deferred tax liabilities or assets.

4 Average number of employees

The average number of persons employed by the company during the year was
8
(2024:
10.00
).
