DATAMEDE_LIMITED - Accounts

The director of the company has elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

For the financial period ended 22 February 2017 the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

The director acknowledges his responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.

The member has not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the period in question in accordance with section 476.

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

Datamede Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 166 College Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA1 1RA.

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, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

These financial statements for the period ended 22 February 2017 are the first financial statements of Datamede Limited prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 26 February 2015. An explanation of how transition to FRS 102 has affected the reported financial position and financial performance is given in note 10.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis even though at the balance sheet date the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by £2,954,768.

The director considers the going concern basis to be appropriate because, in his opinion, the company will continue to obtain sufficient funding from its shareholders to enable it to pay its debts as they fall due.

If the company was unable to continue to obtain sufficient funding to enable it to pay its debts as they fell due, it would be unable to continue trading and adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their realisable amount, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to re-classify fixed assets and long term liabilities as current assets and liabilities.

Turnover represents rents receivable net of VAT.

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, 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.

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price including transaction costs. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, that are classified as debt, are recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities are not amortised.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the period was 1 (2016 - 1).

In the opinion of the director the above carrying value reflects the value of the investment properties at the balance sheet date.

Included within other creditors is a secured loan of £3,687,000.

Included within creditors are amounts totalling £2,564,248 (2016: £2,916,051) due to Trade Sale Limited, a company controlled by Mr F L Gray. During the period the company was charged property management fees of £111,278 (2016: £116,087) by Trade Sale Limited.

Net amounts totalling £38,690 (2016: £125,240) were due to T.S.L. Finance Limited, a company controlled by Mr F L Gray, at the balance sheet date. During the period the company was charged administrative management fees of £12,000 (2016: £12,000) by T.S.L. Finance Limited.

Included within debtors is a balance of £5,000 (2016: £5,000) due from Trade Sale (Slough) Limited, a company in which Mr F L Gray is a director.

Under previous UK GAAP, the company had a policy of revaluing investment properties. On transition to FRS 102 the company recognised a deferred tax liability of £63,887 based on the fair value adjustment of £319,433. As a result, the carrying value previously included in the revaluation reserve has been transferred to profit and loss reserves. There is no effect on the balance sheet on transition other than deferred tax and the aforementioned reclassification.
