The financial statements of New Canaan Investments Limited (registered number:
|
Sir Euan A-G-Calthorpe, Bt.
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
New Canaan Investments Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is 76 Hagley Road, Birmingham, West Midlands, B16 8LU, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
Group accounts exemption s399
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts, on the basis that the group of which this is the parent qualifies as a small group. The financial statements present information about the Company as an individual entity and not about its group.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Charges for amounts payable in respect of losses surrendered to the company or credits in respect of amounts receivable for tax losses surrendered to the company and utilised by other group companies are recognised in the period to which they relate.
Other operating income represents rental income and the Company's share of partnership profit and losses. The rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the period in which the income relates.
Income from other fixed asset investments represents investment income. This is recognised at the time at which the company is entitled to the income.
Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value initially recognised in profit or loss, before being transferred net of deferred tax to a non-distributable reserve. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments are identified as current or fixed based on the nature of their activities and legal structure.
Financial instruments are accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
