Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise
specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting
Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and
the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared for the year ended 31 August 2025 and the comparatives are for the 18 months to 31 August 2024. Therefore the results are not comparable.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Revenue comprises production income.
Production income is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period it is contractually due and expended on production and other costs.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
The Company is eligible to claim a tax credit on film production costs; the tax credit comprises relief based on total net costs and an additional deduction for enhanceable expenditure. The Company claims a payment based on the amount of enhanced expenditure and carries losses arising from total net costs forward against future profits.
Short term debtors are measured at the transaction price, less any impairment.
