Notes to the financial statements
For the Year Ended 30 April 2020

General information

CMS Business Development Limited a private company limited by members capital is incorporated in the United Kingdom, with its registered office being Vanguard House, Sci-Tech Daresbury, Warrington, WA4 4AB. 

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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:

 
2.2

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company, and the group headed by it, qualify as small as set out in section 383 of the Companies Act 2006 and the parent and group are considered eligible for the exemption to prepare consolidated accounts.

 
2.3

Going concern

At 30 April 2020 the company had net current liabilities of £865,516 (2019: £865,516), of which £864,516 (2019: £864,516) relates to amounts owed to a subsidiary company. The balance payable has been classified as a current liability as the amounts are legally repayable on demand. The subsidiary company will not be permitted to seek repayment of this balance within 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors are therefore confident that the company will be able to meet its debts as they fall due.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the UK and Global economy. The company's subsidiary, Cash Management Systems Limited, has taken the necessary steps, including utilising government assistance schemes and undergoing some minor restructuring, to enable it to continue to be able to pay its debts as they fall due.
As a result of the above assurances, the directors have deemed it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

 
2.4

Share based payments

Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the statement of income and retained earnings over the vesting period where the charge is material to the company. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. 

 
2.5

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.6

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Share based payments

The company has granted a number of share options to employees of its subsidiary. If exercised, some of the options would lead to the issue of new C shares in the company, and others would lead to the transfer of ownership of existing A shares in the ultimate parent company to the option holders.
 
In all cases, the options would only be exercised upon the event of either a listing of sale of the company. 
The average exercise price of all options outstanding at 1 May 2019 was 22.37p (
1 May 2018: 24.57p). During the year, no further options were granted.
The options have been valued based on the Black-Scholes method. To the extent it is material, the fair value of the options has been recognised as an additional investment in the company's balance sheet, and a share based payment reserve has been created. In the abscence of an impending listing or sale of the business, the options have been recognised over a period of 10 years from the date of grant. 
During the year, £9,074 (
2019: £11,138) was added to investments in subsidiaries in respect of the fair value of share options. An equivalent charge was made to the statement of comprehensive income in the subsidiary company
