CAVENDISH HOLDCO LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
Cavendish Holdco Limited is a private company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales. The address of its registered office 124 Finchley Road, London, NW3 5JS.
The company is the intermediate parent of a large group. Its principal subsidiary company, L.K. Bennett Limited was in administration during the year. Consolidated financial statements have therefore not been prepared as there are now severe long term restrictions in place which substantially hinder the exercise of the rights over the assets of the subsidiary undertaking. The financial statements therefore relate to the company as an individual entity only.

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 company shows net liabilities at the reporting date of £17,563,955 (2020: £17,923,955). In order to continue trading it is dependent on the continued financial support from its director, L K Bennett, who has confirmed her intention to continue to provide financial support to the company for the foreseeable future. On this basis the director considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the withdrawal of the aforementioned support.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks, other third parties and related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
Accruals
The company makes an estimate of accruals at the year end based on invoices received after the year end and work undertaken which has not been invoiced based on quotations or estimates of amounts that may be due for payment.
