These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

In accordance with section 444 of the Companies Act 2006, all of the members of the company have consented to the preparation of abridged financial statements pursuant to paragraph 1A of Schedule 1 to the Small Companies and Groups (Accounts and Directors’ Report) Regulations (SI 2008/409)(b).

The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the income statement within the financial statements.true

Gloucestershire Everyman Theatre Catering Company Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Regent Street, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, GL50 1HQ.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

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 under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The company has net current liabilities of £50,961 at the balance sheet date, following the payment of a dividend of £75,327 to its parent company under a deed of covenant. The company is therefore reliant on the continued financial support of its parent company.

The directors have prepared detailed financial projections for the 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Having considered these projections and the continued support of the parent company, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue is recognised at the point of product consumption and service delivery.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

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.

Depreciation is charged from the year following addition. The deminimus limit below which tangible fixed assets are not capitalised is £1,000.

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is defined as the average cost of goods including transport costs. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred prior to disposal.

Taxation for the year comprises current tax only. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred taxation is not provided as it is an asset resulting from the impact of tax losses carried forward, which have no certainty of use in the foreseeable future.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charges to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

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 average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:
