Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 17 May 2019 to 31 December 2019

1

General information

The company is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the members is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the company in the event of liquidation.

The address of the registered office is given in the company information on page 1 of the financial statements.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and rounded to the nearest £1.

Going concern

The emergence of the global pandemic known as Covid-19 has raised significant uncertainty throughout the UK economy since the balance sheet date. The Company is working closely with customers and suppliers to review their plans and expected activities in the coming months.

Consideration has been given to the risks of reduced turnover, slow payment or non-payment of debts and other assets owned by the company. The going concern of the business will be dependent on achieving minimum income projections as well as on the continued financial support of the related parties not requiring the withdrawal of the monies owed to them until sufficient funds are available.

Based on the information available and using a reasonable range of assumptions, the business can continue as a going concern and the accounts have been prepared on this basis.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.
