2 | Accounting policies | |||||||||||||||
Prior Period Error and Restatement | ||||||||||||||||
During the preparation of the financial statements, the directors identified a number of errors in the application of FRS102 affecting the financial statements for the years ending December 21, December 22, December 23 and June 24. These errors relate to the incorrect application of accounting policies in relation to revenue recognition and associated costs. During the year, management identified a prior period error relating to the incorrect application of FRS 102 in previous years. The error concerned: 1) Revenue recognition for contingent matters 2) WIP valuation 3) Classification of financial instruments 4) Omission of liabilities In accordance with FRS 102 Section 10, comparative amounts have been retrospectively restated. Details of the restatement are presented in Prior Period Adjustments. | ||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||||||
• The firm has performed the contracted work • The amount can be measured reliably • It is probable that economic benefits will flow to the firm Time-cost matters: Recognised based on recoverable chargeable time and expected recoverability. Fixed-fee matters: Recognised using the stage-of-completion method. Contingent fee matters: Revenue is recognised only when success is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Until then: • No revenue is recognised • No WIP asset is recognised • Costs are expensed to the Profit and Loss Account | ||||||||||||||||
Work in Progress (WIP) | ||||||||||||||||
WIP is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). Non-contingent matters: Recognised based on recoverable time and attributable costs. Contingent matters: Recognised only when success is probable and value can be reliably measured. Otherwise no WIP asset is recognised. WIP provisions: Provisions are made for: • Expected assessment reductions • Adverse case developments • Client disputes • Proportionality issues • Anticipated write-offs | ||||||||||||||||
Deferred Income | ||||||||||||||||
Deferred income represents amounts billed in advance of work performed, including retainer fees, uncompleted fixed-fee matters and interim bills covering future services. | ||||||||||||||||
Disbursements | ||||||||||||||||
Acting as agent: Court fees, medical reports and other disbursements incurred as agent are excluded from revenue and costs and recognised within trade debtors. Acting as principal: Where the firm bears the risk of non-recovery, the costs are treated as expenses unless recovery is probable. Irrecoverable disbursements are written off. | ||||||||||||||||
Litigation Funding and ATE Insurance | ||||||||||||||||
Third-party litigation funding is recognised as a liability when drawn. ATE insurance premiums are recognised when payable under policy terms. ATE recoveries are recognised only when receipt is probable. Contingent ATE recoveries are disclosed but not recognised as assets. | ||||||||||||||||
Intangible fixed assets | ||||||||||||||||
Litigation Funding and ATE Insurance | ||||||||||||||||
Third-party litigation funding is recognised as a liability when drawn. ATE insurance premiums are recognised when payable under policy terms. ATE recoveries are recognised only when receipt is probable. Contingent ATE recoveries are disclosed but not recognised as assets. | ||||||||||||||||
Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||||
Basic financial assets include trade debtors, accrued income and recoverable disbursements, recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost, less impairment. Basic financial liabilities include trade creditors, accruals, litigation funding liabilities and redeemable preference shares (where classified as liabilities). | ||||||||||||||||
Provisions and Contingent Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||
A provision is recognised when: • A present obligation exists • Settlement is probable • The amount can be reliably estimated Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are disclosed but not recognised unless the inflow/outflow is probable. | ||||||||||||||||
Redeemable Preference Shares | ||||||||||||||||
Redeemable preference shares are classified in accordance with their contractual substance: Classified as liabilities: Where redemption is mandatory, the shares are presented as financial liabilities and measured at amortised cost. Dividends are recognised as finance charges. Classified as equity: Where redemption is at the company's discretion, shares are included in equity and dividends are recognised as appropriations. A description of the issued redeemable preference shares is given in Note 18. | ||||||||||||||||
Prior Period Adjustments | ||||||||||||||||
During the preparation of the financial statements, the directors identified a number of errors in the application of FRS102 affecting the financial statements for the years ended December 21, December 22, December 23 and June 24. These errors relate to the incorrect application of accounting policies in respect of revenue recognition and associated costs. In accordance with FRS102 section 10, the comparative figures for the year ended December 24 have been restated to reflect the corrected accounts. The cumulative effect of correcting these errors has been recognised by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 24 by £4,341,380. The comparative figures for 2024 included in these financial statements already reflect the restatement, no further prior period adjustment is required in the current year financial statements. The adjustments have no impact on the profit for the year ended 30 June 25, or company cashflows. | ||||||||||||||||
Opening balance as at 1 Jan 24 previously stated | (6,621,083) | |||||||||||||||
Prior period adjustment | 4,341,380 | |||||||||||||||
Opening balance restated | (2,279,703) | |||||||||||||||
The accounting year was shortened from December 24 to Jun 24. The statement of changes to equity shows opening balances at Jul 23 – this is not correct. It should be 1 Jan 24. | ||||||||||||||||
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation | ||||||||||||||||
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items 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. | ||||||||||||||||
Leasehold land and buildings | ||||||||||||||||
Furniture, fittings and equipment | ||||||||||||||||
Research and development costs | ||||||||||||||||
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year it is incurred unless it meets the criteria to allow it to be capitalised. Costs of research are always written off in the year in which they are incurred. Where development costs are recognised as an asset, they are amortised over the period expected to benefit from them. Amortisation of the capitalised costs begins once the developed product comes into use, typically at rate of 33.33% straight line. | ||||||||||||||||
Taxation | ||||||||||||||||
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit and loss account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
Freehold investment property | ||||||||||||||||
No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties. | ||||||||||||||||
Investments | ||||||||||||||||
Stocks | ||||||||||||||||
When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of stocks to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of stocks is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs. Work in progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording revenue and related costs as contract activity progresses. | ||||||||||||||||

Foreign currencies | ||||||||||||||||
Leased assets | ||||||||||||||||
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Company are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Company's policy on borrowing costs (see the accounting policy above). Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. | ||||||||||||||||
Provisions | ||||||||||||||||
Provisions are charged as an expense to the profit and loss account in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the balance sheet. | ||||||||||||||||

FUNDING AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO AFTER YEAR END: The company has secured ATE Insurance and under the terms of the policy we are able to recoup all our own costs as well in the event of losing our case the other sides costs. Therefore, in view we will recover all our own internal costs we have included as the work was done in the period ending 30th June 2025 the sum of £1.1 million as revenue. In addition, the company is in the final stages of securing litigation funding which will allow us to turn some of our WIP into revenue PREFERENCE SHARES: Although the preference shares are presented as a financial liability due to the fixed redemption date of 31 January 2026, redemption is restricted by the Companies Act 2006 and can only occur out of distributable profits or other permitted other sources i.e. issue of new shares. As at the reporting date the Company does not envisage having sufficient distributable profits, and the shares will remain outstanding. The failure to redeem on 31 Jan 2026 does NOT create an enforceable debt and the holders cannot wind up the company purely for non-redemption. | ||||||||||||||||
