Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Models One Limited (registered number:
|
P Rendell
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Models One Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the company's registered office is 10-11 Clerkenwell Green, London, EC1R 0DP, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The company has elected to early adopt the amendments to FRS 102, which introduce revised requirements for lease accounting. These amendments have been applied from 1 Jan 2025, the start of the current reporting period, in accordance with the transitional provisions of Section 20 Leases.
At the date of initial application (1 Jan 25) the company recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in respect of its previously off-balance-sheet operating leases. There was no impact to opening retained earnings at that date. Comparative information has not been restated.
Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and lease liabilities are measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted at the company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
Except for the adoption of the revised leasing requirements, the company’s accounting policies are unchanged. Early adoption of the other amendments to FRS 102 (including those relating to revenue) did not have any effect on these financial statements.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.
The company generates revenue from providing modelling services to clients. The company acts as a disclosed agent in these arrangements. The company’s performance obligation is to provide the model for the contracted service.
Revenue is recognised on a net basis, representing the commission earned on completed bookings. Amounts collected on behalf of models do not form part of revenue.
The company also provides additional services such as digital portfolios, casting support, and test shoots. These are treated as separate performance obligations when they are distinct from the booking service.
Revenue from model bookings is recognised at the point in time when the contracted service has been completed and the company’s obligation to arrange the service has been fulfilled.
Revenue from additional services are recognised when the services are delivered to the model.
Clients are normally invoiced when the job is completed and payment is usually due within 30 days. Revenue does not contain any significant financing component.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
At the inception of a contract, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments due over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, the company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a tax and amounts reasonably expected to be payable over the life of the lease.
The right of use asset is initially measured at the initial amount of the lease liability and is adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle or restore the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received.
The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with an interest expense recognised in the profit or loss.
After initial recognition, the right of use asset is depreciated on a straight line basis over the shorter of the asset's useful life or the lease term. The right of use assets are subject to impairment reviews in accordance with the company's policy on the impairment of non financial assets.
It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if the company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension, or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset. In any case an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right of use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term. If the carrying amount of the right of use asset is adjusted to zero, any further reduction is recognised in the profit or loss.
Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Statement of Financial Position date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings as described below.
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments and transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to and from related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, and amounts due from related companies, 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.
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. 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 the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.
Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and accruals, 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.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the Statement of Financial Position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
