1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Rosendale investments 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 General Information page.

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.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Rosendale Investments Limited and all of its subsidiaries (i.e. entities that the company controls through its power to govern financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefit). Subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method whereby their results are incorporated from the date that the control passes. All financial statements are made up to 31st December, 2018.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Going concern

The company meets its day to day working capital requirements with the support of its director, bankers and creditors. At the time of approving these financial statements, the board have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The board have taken all of these factors into account in their decision to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Turnover

Turnover represents amounts receivable for corporate advisory fees, fund management fees, commission income and other ancillary fees. It also includes the fair value of options over securities which have been received as consideration for corporate finance services rendered.

Fees for advisory engagements for which the work is substantially complete or which are at a stage where work for which separate payment is due is substantially complete, and which will become due but are not yet invoiced are recorded on a right to consideration basis. Where such fees are contingent on the outcome of of a transaction they are only accounted for after the transaction has completed.

Turnover is the amount derived from ordinary activities and is stated after trade discounts and Value Added Tax.

Goodwill

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2013, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Investments

Investments in quoted equity instruments are carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account; all other investments are measured at cost less impairment.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 7 (2020 - 7 ) .
