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 directors have considered the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 and what impact it will have on the ongoing operations of the business. The Company generates income throught the operation of leisure centres. These are currently closed and it is unclear as to when they will be able to re-open. The closure of these sites will have a significant impact on the ability of the Company to effectively operate.
The directors have taken steps to reduce the Company's cost base and are confident that the Company will be able to re-commence trading once restrictions are lifted. In light of this, the directors consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
The directors’ assumptions and outlook assumes that COVID-19 causes no other material unanticipated changes to the business model. The financial statements do not reflect the adjustments that would be necessary should the ability of the Company to trade be jeopardised or if the restrictions relating to COVID-19 are in place longer than anticipated. As such there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
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 and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
