The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. At the balance sheet date, the company had net liabilities of £679,205 (2024: £676,655) and is reliant on financial support being provided by related companies controlled by the director.
The director, who is also the sole shareholder, has considered the financial position of the company and has confirmed that the related companies will continue to provide financial support for the foreseeable future to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Additionally, the director has reviewed the company's financial forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, which demonstrate that the company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due with the ongoing support of the related companies.
Based on this assessment, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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.
