Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Covid-19 pandemic, lockdown of business and communities, restriction on travel and meetings, and the serious economic impact and uncertainty the pandemic caused has resulted in unprecedented challenges to raising funds, and sustaining early stage businesses. The directors have continually reviewed the going concern basis of the business, and have in the light of various interests expressed in participating in the placing of the new shares, authorised by the shareholder to be issued, continued to trade, with the understanding and support of creditors, including a very loyal team, but only on a care and maintenance basis, pending closing the funding. We have received great encouragement from Pilots, and potential investors for bonds when listed on EIX, for the importance and value of this unique exchange, and the directors remain hopeful that the company will be able to raise sufficient working capital to sustain the business. The directors have not considered the impact on the going concern if the fund raising was not successful.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each reporting date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.
Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each reporting date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
