1. Summary of significant accounting policies
General information and basis of preparation
Basis of preparation
Thumbscrew Music Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office and registration number are as below:
Shipleys LLP
10 Orange Street
Haymarket
London
WC2H 7DQ
The financial statements has been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling (£) which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Director has assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. At the year end, the company has net current liabilities of 2025: £223,039 (2024: £219,823). Included in creditors is a director's loan of £225,247 (2024: £214,247), and the director is not seeking immediate repayment of these funds, and will continue to support the company as required. On these grounds, the director considers that the company remains a going concern.
 
1.1 Tangible fixed assets
Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
 
1.2 Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash, are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that any financial asset has been impaired. A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the provision is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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.
