NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Paragon Independent Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Paragon Independent Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover is recognised to the extent it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the company, and that it can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales taxes.

Turnover from the provision of services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when the following conditions are satisfied:
- the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
- it is probable that consideration due will be received;
- the stage of completion of the contract at the reporting date can be measured reliably, and
- the costs incurred, or to be incurred, can be measured reliably.

Turnover from commission is recognised at the inception of the policy to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are held under the cost model, and are stated at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes directly attributable expenditure in bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for operation.

The assets' residual values; useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed periodically and prospectively adjusted where appropriate; or where there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount, and are recognised in the income statement.

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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 debtors and creditors; loans from banks and other third parties; loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Debt instruments, other than those wholly payable or receivable within one year, including loans and other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at the present value of future cash flows, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured at the undiscounted amount of consideration expected to be paid or received. If the arrangements of a short term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not at a market rate, the financial asset or liability is initially measured at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument, and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment, and such impairments is recognised in total comprehensive income.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of income and retained earnings on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over the useful economic life. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the term of the lease, or useful economic life if shorter.

Finance leases are those where substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of finance charges allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the statement of income and retained earnings so as to produce a constant, periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and bank current and short term deposit accounts.
