Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Callisto Regulatory Consulting Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 04976266 . The registered office is The Barn Holly Berry House, Rough Park, Rugeley, Staffordshire, WS15 3SQ.  The principal place of business is 5 Garden Court, Lockington Hall, Main Street, Lockington, DE74 2RH.
These financial statements, which only reflect the results of the company, not the group that it heads, are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.  Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest pound.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The directors have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The directors consider that there are no key judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
2.4. Turnover
Revenue represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for consultancy services provided in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Revenue is stated net of value added tax (VAT) and is reduced for discounts, rebates and other similar allowances.
Revenue from consultancy services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of each engagement at the reporting date, where the outcome of the engagement can be assessed reliably. The outcome of an engagement is considered to be reliably measurable when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the engagement will flow to the company;
• the stage of completion of the engagement at the reporting date can be measured reliably; and
• the costs incurred for the engagement and the costs to complete the engagement can be measured reliably.
The stage of completion is determined by reference to the proportion of services performed to date. This is typically assessed using time incurred relative to total expected time, contractual milestones achieved, or other appropriate measures that faithfully reflect the work performed. Where consultancy service engagements are billed on a time-andmaterials basis, revenue is recognised as the services are provided.
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery Over 3 to 10 years on a straight line basis
2.6. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
The company does not have any finance leases or hire purchase agreements in place. However it does incur rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor. The costs are charged to profit and loss account over the period of the agreements

Page 3
2.7. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.
2.8. Financial Instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS102 to all its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the party becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured a transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss..
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.
2.9. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.

2.10. Taxation
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.  They are recognised in the profit or loss account, except when they are related 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.
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 timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing 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. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
2.11. Investments and Group Accounts
Investments in equity shares, in subsidiary companies, which are not publicly traded and where the fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.
The company has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the company and its subsidiary company comprise a small group.
2.12. Employee Benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits
Retirement benefits
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.13. Dividends
Dividend distributions to the company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.
2.14. Registrar Filing Requirements
The company has taken advantage of Companies Act 2006 section 444(1) and opted not to file the profit and loss account, directors report, and notes to the financial statements relating to the profit and loss account.
