Going concern

After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. In establishing whether to continue to report under the going concern assumption we have considered the following points: - The impact on the day to day trade of the business - The impact on the ability of our suppliers to meet our needs - The impact of our staff's ability to perform their duties - The impact on our cash position of a period of minimum activity A detailed budget and cashflow have been prepared for the production and delivery of the television series. Funds to meet the cashflow requirements are contractually in place and the directors do not anticipate any material overspend. A large proportion of the production has been completed by the period end including all of the principal photography. The directors are anticipating completion and formal delivery in the forthcoming period. After considering all factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The accounts cover the year from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The comparatives cover the period from 22 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 and as such the comparatives are not entirely comparable.

Disclosure exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of Pulse Films Ltd which can be obtained from 110-122 New North Place, London, England, EC2A 4JA.

(b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accruals are estimated by reference to purchase orders raised at the period end and estimates to complete. Payments received on account are estimated by reference to percentage of completion of the television production, as noted in "Turnover" below.

Turnover

Turnover relates to the production and exploitation of the television series entitled "Gangs of London 2". It represents the value of the work done in the period, including estimates of amounts not invoiced and is stated after trade discounts, other taxes and net of VAT. Revenue from the rendering of services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period provided that the outcome can be reliably estimated. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable.

Taxation

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Financial instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. Financial instruments policy Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Intra-group borrowings are debt instruments and are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using an effective interest method.
