NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Holmes Miller Ltd. is a private company, limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The company's registered office is 89 Minerva Street, Glasgow, G3 8LE. |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. There were no material departures from that standard. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets. |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The validity of this is dependent on the financial performance of the company following the restrictions and other conditions placed throughout the UK due to the Covid 19 pandemic. After due consideration on the potential impact and future commitments, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the invoice value of services rendered during the year, excluding value added tax. The company's policy is to recognise a sale when substantively all of the risks and rewards in connection with the services have been passed to the buyer. Where the substance of a contract is that the company's contractual obligations are performed gradually over time, revenue is recognised as contract activity progresses to reflect the company's partial performance of its contractual obligations. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, representing the amount established on incorporation of The Holmes Partnership in 2011 and the acquisition of the assets of LRK Associates Ltd in 2018, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years although there was no amortisation in the period of acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at the end of the first full financial year following each acquisition and subsequently as and when necessary if circumstances emerge that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life less residual value. |
Land and buildings - 2% straight line |
Plant and machinery etc - 25% on cost |
Land and buildings is carried at its revalued amount, being fair value at the date of valuation less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. |
Any revaluation increase in the carrying amount of land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and included in a revaluation reserve in equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit and loss to the extent of the decrease previously expended. Decreases that offset previous increases to the same asset are charged to other comprehensive income and debited against revaluation reserve in equity; decreases exceeding the balance in revaluation reserve relating to an asset are recognised in profit or loss. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset recognised in profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings. |
Land and buildings were revalued for the first time during the year ended 31 March 2017, whilst they were carried at cost in prior periods. No depreciation had been charged in prior years as in the opinion of the directors, the residual value was such that any depreciation arising would have been immaterial. The use of a policy of revaluation provides more relevant and reliable information about the value. As from 1 April 2017, land and buildings are written off over their estimated useful life of 50 years. |
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell, is estimated and compared with the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss. |
Taxation |
Taxation represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
The charge for taxation takes into account taxation deferred as a result of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. In general, deferred taxation is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. However, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Deferred taxation is measured on a non-discounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. |
With the exception of changes arising on the initial recognition of a business combination, the tax expense is presented either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or statement of changes in equity depending on the transaction that resulted in the tax expense. |
Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. |

Foreign currencies |
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. |
Operating lease commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates defined contribution pension schemes for directors and employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account. |
Financial instruments |
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable. |
Debt instruments like loans and other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and trade creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. |
Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for evidence of impairment and if found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and cash held at banks. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. |
Judgements |
The company considers on an annual basis the judgements that are made by management when applying its significant accounting policies that would have the most significant effect on amounts that are recognised in the financial statements. The directors consider there to be none. |
