Accounting policies |
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements are prepared on a basis other than going concern, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable accounting standards in the United Kingdom.
Trading Status
The Company has not traded during the year or the previous year, has incurred no liabilities and consequently, has made neither profit nor loss. None of the Directors received any emoluments in respect of their services to the Company.
Going concern
As explained in the Directors’ Report and in the note on non-adjusting events after the financial period, following the year end the Company resolved, as part of a group reorganisation, to apply to be struck off the register. As the Company will in due course cease to exist, the directors have concluded that it is not appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
No adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities have been required, as the Company’s assets and liabilities are already recorded at the amounts expected to be realised or settled.
Investments in subsidiaries
The Company holds investments in other companies. These are recognised as fixed asset investments and are stated at historical cost less provision for any diminution in value.
