| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Gildeas Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of VAT and represents the supply of legal services under contracts. |
| Turnover, relating to contingent legal cases is recognised on settlement of the related case, or at the point where it can be reliably measured and it is probable that the economic benefit associated with the case will flow to the entity. The associated costs other than recoverable outlays, are recognised in the profit and loss as incurred. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a business represents the excess of the costs of acquisition (being the cash paid and the fair value other consideration given) over the fair value of the separable net assets acquired. The fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities are assessed in the year of acquisition and the subsequent year, which may impact on the goodwill recognised. Goodwill is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life. |
| Provision is made for any impairment in its value. The useful economic life is the expected period over which the company expects to derive an economic benefit, and is reviewed on an annual basis. |
| Amortisation |
| Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, net of anticipated disposal proceeds, over the estimated useful life of that asset as follows: |
| Goodwill - 10 years |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Cost represents purchase price together with any incidental costs of acquisition. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs |
| The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are classified and accounted for as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement. |
| Financial instruments which are assets are stated at cost less any provision for impairment. Financial liabilities are stated at principal capital amounts outstanding at the period end. Issue costs relating to financial liabilities are deducted from the outstanding balance and are amortised over the period to the due date for repayment of the financial liability. |
| An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. A financial liability is any contractual arrangement for an entity to deliver cash to the holder of the associated financial instrument. |
| Debtors and creditors that fall due within one year |
| Debtors and creditors that fall due within one year are recorded in the financial statements at undiscounted transaction (invoice) price. Debtors are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairments are recorded within the profit and loss and shown within administrative expenses. |
