Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 March 2025
Palmerston Capital Limited is a limited company limited by shares and incorporated in the United Kingdom.
The address of the registered office and principal place of business is 8th Floor SavoyStrand, 105-109 Strand, London, WC2R 0AA.
2.Significant accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (£), which is also the functional currency.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the two financial years.
After reviewing the forecasts and projections the directors have reasonable expectations that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Revenue represents income derived from the company's principal activity of providing administrative services to Palmerston Capital Management LLP. Fees are accrued monthly and presented net of Value Added Tax.
All expenses have been accounted for on an accruals basis.
The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the Statement of comprehensive income because it excluded items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's current tax liability is calculated using rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to
pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rate and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in financial statements.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be
recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Foreign currency translation
|
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the
dates of the transactions.
At each period-end, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the transaction at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'administrative expenses'.
Tangible assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with financial institutions
repayable without penalty on notice and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturity of 3 months or less and bank overdrafts.

2.Significant accounting policies (continued)
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of
financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors.
Debt instruments are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within
one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted
amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of
a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond
normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in the case of an out-right
short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of
the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting
period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between
an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original
effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference
between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation
of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the companies accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the period-end date and amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
There were no significant estimates or judgments made in the year.
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 9 (2024 - 11).
