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 £.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable 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.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The directors have considered whether any significant judgements were required in applying the company's accounting policies during the year.
The directors concluded that there were no significant judgements made in applying the company's accounting policies during the year. The principal area requiring management consideration relates to the valuation and recoverability of loans receivable and accrued interest, which is considered to represent a key source of estimation uncertainty rather than a significant judgement.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
The company's principal assets comprise loans receivable and accrued interest arising from its lending activities. Management assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that these balances may be impaired.
The valuation of these balances requires the directors to estimate the recoverability of amounts due, taking into account factors including borrower payment history, financial position, expected future cash flows and the value of any underlying security supporting the loans.
Where recovery of amounts due is considered uncertain, appropriate impairment provisions are recognised. Changes in assumptions regarding borrower performance, expected recoveries or the value of security held could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of loans receivable and accrued interest in future accounting periods.
