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 company has net liabilities at the year end of £31,880 (2019 - £31,874). Included within creditors is £30,510 due to a fellow group company, who has confirmed that it shall not seek repayment of the amount due to the detriment of other creditors.
The company no longer trades as all future trading is through SEM Energy Limited, a fellow subsidiary company. The wider group are involved in the development of environmentally friendly waste management products and have a number of opportunities in the pipeline. The directors have prepared forecasts which reflect several significant contracts being secured resulting in a positive cash generating position. The directors believe that together with the funding available, the group has the operating platform available for future growth and for the group to continue as a going concern. The group has obtained a letter of support from the private equity investor and the directors, therefore, have made an informed judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
All costs incurred in relation to research and development are written off to the Statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
