Ebico Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025
1
Statutory information
Ebico Limited is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales, registration number 03507095. The registered office is Office 16, Hexagon House Avenue 4, Station Lane, Witney, OX28 4BN.
2
Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions in part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, and in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A small entities. There are no material departures from this standard.
3
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Basis of consolidation
The company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts.
Taxation
UK Corporation tax payable is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred taxation is provided using the liability method on all timing differences which are expected to reverse in the future without being replaced, calculated at the rate at which it is anticipated the timing differences will reverse. Where the future recoverability of a deferred tax asset is uncertain, then the relevant deferred tax asset is not recognised.
Investments
Investments in subsidiary undertakings and associated companies are stated at cost, less any provisions for impairment. Impact investments comprise investments in unquoted equity instruments and are carried at cost less impairment. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognised. Current assets investments comprise investments in Stock Exchange listed funds or equities which are readily realisable. Current assets are held at fair value on the reporting date with changes recognised in the profit and loss account.
Trade and other debtors/creditors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.
Turnover
Turnover represents the amounts invoiced for goods and services, stated net of value added tax.

Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Having taken account of all available information about the future, including the company's most recent trading results, budgets and cash flow forecasts, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
