Accounting Policies

Year ended 30 September 2025
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable United Kingdom accounting standards. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Cash flow statement
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary company of a group headed by Ducales Capital Limited, and is included in the consolidated financial statements of that company, which are publicly available. Consequently, the company has taken advantage of the exemption within FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' from preparing a cash flow statement.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the balance sheet and the amount of the provision as an expense.
Consolidation
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ducales Capital Limited, and is included in the consolidated financial statements of that company, which are publicly available. Consequently, the company has taken advantage of the exemption within Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements.
Income tax
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 rates 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 the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.
