Accounting policies
Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102(1A) The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of land and buildings and certain financial instruments measured at fair value in accordance with the accounting policies.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the company.
Group accounts
The company is a parent company subject to the small companies regime. The company and its subsidiaries comprise a small group. The company has taken advantage of the option provided by section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts.
Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland", not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the rendering of services.
Turnover is derived from UK operations only.
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the legal obligation to receive income as per the contract in place. Income is accrued on a daily basis for revenue not received.- Interest receivable on commercial loans is recognised on an accrual basis calculated using the effective interest method.
- Software licencing fees are recognised in line with the provision of the service.
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 or refundable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.
Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if the company has legal right to set off against current tax liabilities and if they both relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on the same entity.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets (including purchased goodwill and patents) are amortised at rates calculated to write off the assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic lives. Impairment of intangible assets is only reviewed where circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable.
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at the fair value, provided the value can be reliably measured. Otherwise they are included at cost less impairment.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation, as a result of a past event, which it is more probable than not will result in an outflow of economic benefits and the outflow can be reasonably estimated.
Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements. Management monitors debts carefully, the company operates tight controls to ensure bad debts are minimised, including the holding of adequate legal security. Where debts become overdue management assess the collectibility of the debt on a case by case basis, where doubts exist over the recoverability provisions will be made and charged to the profit and loss account. The directors monitor the fair value of the investments held by the company. Investments in subsidiaries, where unlisted, are carried at nominal share value held by the company, the directors review this for signs of impairment. No revaluations of unlisted investments have been deemed necessary in the current year. The company's forecasts and projections, taking into account potential changes in trading patterns, indicate that the company will be able to continue current operations for the foreseeable future. The directors have included new business opportunities within the scenario based forecasts and on this basis the directors believe there is a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In addition the directors have obtained comfort from other companies within the wider related party group that they will be able to repay loans to the Company on demand should it need it. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. There are no post balance sheet events which warrant adjustment or disclosure.
Financial instruments
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, inter-group loans, cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Assets within one year are not amortised. Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
