The Directors recommend an interim dividend of £10,003,200 (2021 - £4,098,933) in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2022.

Employment of disabled persons

The Group's policy is to consider the recruitment of disabled workers for those vacancies that they are able to fill. All necessary assistance with initial training courses is given. Once employed, a career plan is developed so as to ensure suitable opportunities for each disabled person. Arrangements are made, where possible, for retraining employees who become disabled, to enable them to perform work identified as appropriate to their aptitudes and abilities.

The Group's selection, training, development and promotion policies ensure equal opportunities for all colleagues regardless of factors such as gender, marital status, race, age, sexual preference and orientation, colour, creed, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability or trade union affiliation. All of our decisions are based on merit.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Employee involvement

The Group strives to create a working environment where people enjoy working, give their best and deliver successful outcomes.

The Group continues to invest in leadership, technical and safety training for all staff who have been identified as likely to benefit themselves and the Group. Feedback from employees is also welcomed across the Group.

Employees are able to share in the success of the group through an annual bonus scheme, which is based on the Group's financial performance and to the individual's performance throughout the period.

Engagement with suppliers, customers and other relationships

Delivering the Group's quality policy requires strong mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, customers, and other organisations. The Directors believe in lasting partnerships, founded on a shared commitment to quality, value and service. The Directors have embraced ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 as a framework to ensure that the Group offers a consistent quality of service to its customers and suppliers.

Directors within the Group are active members of professional bodies with their own code of conduct that provides a set of clear guidelines for the operation of the individuals within the business which includes the way in which it engages in relationships. Membership of these bodies also allows the exchange of experiences and incorporating lessons learned.

Regulatory compliance is very important, as is maintaining the Group's reputation.

The Group values ensure that we offer honest, trustworthy, independent advice to ensure the integrity to forge loyalties.

The provision of consultancy services incorporating Town and Country Planning, Economics, Heritage and Archaeology Planning, Environmental Planning, Environmental and Transportation Planning and Surveying, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Design, Consultation and Environmental Impact Assessment Management, Renewables, Sustainability and Architectural Design.

Pegasus is committed to the protection of the environment, preventing pollution and minimising the environmental impacts associated with its business activities. We will establish and maintain processes which encourage a reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions, minimise our consumption of natural resources, and reduce the volume of waste associated with our office-based activities.

To ensure that Pegasus effectively manages its environmental impacts it will establish, implement and maintain an Environmental Management System (EMS) accredited to ISO 14001:2015. The EMS is intended to facilitate the following commitments being achieved:

-

Compliance with all relevant legal and other requirements;

Pegasus recognises that the sustainability agenda is a central issue for the planning system. In its consultancy role, Pegasus is mindful that sustainability seeks to balance economic, environmental and social objectives without compromising the needs of future generations.

At the project level, Pegasus understands and promotes the principles and benefits of sustainable development. It seeks to work with developers to encourage the adoption of sustainable working practices.

Our Environment Policy is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that Pegasus continues to be aligned with current best practice and responds to any relevant findings of EMS audits.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Emissions and energy consumption

Pegasus Planning Group Limited undertook a Carbon Footprint Report in July 2022 based on latest available data covering 2 financial years to June 2021.

The scope of the data covered Gas, refrigerant, electricity, business travel, paper and water usage across the portfolio of offices within Pegasus. Total reported Greenhouse Gas Emissions in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (tCO2e) were as follows:

2019-2020

2020-2021

Total

431.89 tCO2e

238.03 tC02e

Scope 1

8.4%

16.9%

Scope 2

23.3%

27.7%

Scope 3

68.3%

55.3%

The significant area can be seen in scope 3 and relates to the Business Travel and Paper.

Due to COVID-19 travel reduced significantly but with the return to work there will inevitably be an increase in this area for 2021-2022. Pegasus are reviewing work practices to achieve a reduction in our carbon footprint through business travel over the coming years. Paper has significantly decreased with digitalisation reducing the need to print.

In 2022 Pegasus commenced work towards a clear sustainability strategy embedding best practice into business activities providing Pegasus the ability to set clear objectives, targets and KPIS to reduce emissions through purchased goods, company facilities and further through our leased assets. The sustainable development goals were aligned with the Pegasus Business Plan A final version of this strategy was set out at Board level in February 2023 setting the net zero carbon emissions target to 2030.

Prior to this, Pegasus undertook an Energy Survey to satisfy the requirements for the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). The next submission due December 2023. The report presented 5 recommended potential energy savings to 42,499 kWh per year and these are summarised below:

1.

Energy Management Plan: As stated earlier, this has been implemented with the sustainability strategy.

2.

Energy Metering and Circuit Level Monitoring: Whilst site specific and more difficult to assess what initiatives should be pursued, consideration to be given to on-going insight reporting for future office relocations.

3.

LED Lighting: A programme of replacement lighting towards LED commenced and a key priority in future office relocations. System power for lighting in this area is expected to reduce from 10.73 kW to 3.63 kW (66% saving).

4.

Solar PV: With numerous large roof spaces across office buildings there is the ability to generate onsite renewable solar energy. Given all office buildings are leased spaces there would need to be landlord consent.

5.

Boiler Replacements (where applicable) to reduce heat input required.

Pegasus takes emissions and energy consumption seriously and will implement quarterly reporting as part of the sustainability strategy.

Going concern

After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Disclosure of information to the auditor

Each Director has taken the steps that they ought to have taken as a Director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group's auditor is aware of that information. The Directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2022.

Fair review of the business

Following what we hope to be the worst of the Covid pandemic, we have been able to increase the revenue of the business by £3.6m in the year to June 2022. This excellent result has been driven to a significant degree by the resurgence of the housing market across the country. Measures we took to protect and strengthen the capacity of the business enabled us to respond to the growing demands of our residential market clients throughout the year, but we are also pleased with the increasing contribution from work in other sectors of the economy, including renewable energy and telecoms.

The Group's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Future developments

Due to the resilience of the Group through the pandemic we remain in a highly competitive position, with a clear focus on the retention and growth of our fee earning staff. We will also continue to grow the new services we have invested in, including transport and infrastructure and heritage. In addition, our architectural services have expanded with the successful integration of Armstrong Burton following its acquisition in early 2020.

Environmental matters

The Group operates under an accreditation for ISO14001, a recognised environmental management system.

We are now looking to deepen our commitments to minimising the adverse impacts on the environment of operating our business. With the support of external specialists, we are determined to develop policies and actions that will deliver clearly defined objectives in realistic timescales, in particular with regard to our energy usage and carbon footprint.

Social and community issues

Our diverse and talented employees take part in a number of charitable events and we are very proud of their achievements in raising money for charities that are dear to their hearts.

The Group has made a number of charitable donations over the past year, and each year supports a selected charity nominated by the staff.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The management of the business and the execution of the Group's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks and uncertainties affecting the Group relate to the recruitment and retention of the right staff, changes in the external economic, policy and legal context and the growth in competition. We continue to maintain competitive salary, bonus and benefit packages for employees in order to attract the best talent and encourage low levels of staff turnover. We carefully monitor the external environment in which we operate and look to mitigate risks by developing new areas of expertise and expanding into sectors, including under different consent regimes, where our services can support clients.

Section 172(1) statement

The Directors believe that they have effectively implemented their duties under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. The Group has considered the long-term strategy of the business in the Strategic Report and consider that this strategy will continue to deliver long term success to the business and it’s stakeholders.

The Group is committed to maintaining an excellent reputation and strives to achieve high standards. We are highly selective about which suppliers are used to deliver best value while maintaining an awareness of the environmental impact of the work that they do and strive to reduce their carbon footprint.

The Directors recognise the importance of wider stakeholders in delivering their strategy and achieving sustainability within the business. The main stakeholders in the company are considered to be the employees, suppliers and customers.

In ensuring that all our stakeholders are considered as part of every decision process we believe we act fairly between all members of the Group.

The Group values ensure that we offer honest, trustworthy, independent advice to ensure the integrity to forge loyalties.

Financial instruments

The Group's financial instruments comprise cash and liquid resources, and various other items such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the operations of the Group. The Group is exposed to the usual credit risk and cash flow risk associated with providing services on credit and manages this through credit control procedures. The nature of the Group's other financial instruments means they are not subject to price or liquidity risk.

The Board constantly monitor the Group's trading results to ensure that the Group can meet its future obligations as they fall due and have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group's and the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Pegasus Planning Group Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 June 2022, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and loss account, Consolidated Balance sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and the Parent Company's affairs as at 30 June 2022 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the Parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 8, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We considered the nature of the company’s industry and its control environment and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in and identified the key laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including the UK Companies Act and tax legislation, and, those that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Pegasus Planning Group Limited

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgments made in accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:

reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;

performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatements due to fraud;.

enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and

reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of this report
This report is made solely to the Group’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Group’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Group’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except for, where disclosed in these accounting policies, certain items that are shown at fair value.

The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling, being the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest Pound.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 June 2022.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Profit and Loss Account from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.

Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Going concern

After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
 

Judgements

The Directors are required to make judgements regarding: the recoverability of trade debtor balances; amounts recoverable on long-term contracts; the fair value of work in progress; and the estimated useful life of tangible and intangible fixed assets.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

No key sources of estimation uncertainty have been identified by management in preparing these financial statements other than those detailed in these accounting policies..

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents amounts chargeable to clients for the provision of professional services that have been provided during the year. Turnover is recognised as contract activity progresses and the right to consideration is secured, except where the final outcome cannot be assessed with reasonable certainty.

Fee income in respect of contingent fee assignments is recognised in the period when the contingent event occurs and the collectability of the fee is assured.

Unbilled fee income on individual assignments is included as 'Gross amount due from customers for contract work' within debtors.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the Company. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible fixed assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Fixtures, fittings and equipment

25% straight line

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the Group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.

Goodwill

Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed five years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.

Intangible assets

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date.

Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised on the face of the balance sheet on the acquisition date and subsequently the excess up to the fair value of non-monetary assets acquired is recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the non-monetary assets are recovered.

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:

Asset class

Amortisation method and rate

Goodwill

10% or 20% straight line

Client list

50% straight line

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business, and are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due.

Amounts recoverable on contracts

Amounts recoverable on contracts, which are included within debtors, are stated at net sales value of the work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments on account.

 

Pegasus Planning Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the Company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Where shares are issued, any component that creates a financial liability of the company is presented as a liability on the balance sheet, The corresponding dividends relating to the liability component are charged as interest expenses in the profit and loss account.

Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss as described below.

A non-financial asset is impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition, the estimated recoverable value of the asset has been reduced. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of an impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
