Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2018

1	General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.

The address of its registered office is:
UGLI Campus
56 Wood Lane
London
W12 7SB
England

2	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

The directors believe that the company will continue as a going concern having considered the financial prospects for the company over the next 12 months including reviewing the potential for securing sources of additional revenue.

The company's ability to continue on a going concern basis depends on the ability to support the operations of the group companies. The directors have drawn up group forecasts under multiple scenarios in order to manage future cashflow. There is however, no guarantee that new revenue sources will be secured.

The directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

The company has indicated its willingness to continue its support for it's subsidiaries going forward.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2018

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The accounts do not include a cash flow statement because the company, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirements to prepare such a statement.

Exemption from preparing group accounts
The company is part of a small group. The company has taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not prepared group accounts.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences where the transactions or events give the company an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future has occurred by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax is measured using rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

The accumulated losses have resulted in significant tax allowable losses being built up which can be offset against future trading profits. At present the directors are uncertain as to whether sufficient profits will be realised against which to offset these losses and accordingly no deferred tax asset has been recognised in the financial statements.

Foreign currency
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

3	Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 5 (2017 - 5).
