General information

Gunpowder Immersive Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales, with its registered office at 5 Elstree Gate, Elstree Way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, WD6 1JD.

The Company's principal activity is the production and promotion of bespoke designed entertainment shows. The functional and presentational currency is £ Sterling.

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

Going concern

The Company made a loss for the period and at the reporting date has net current liabilities and net liabilities. The director is satisfied that the Company will have sufficient funds for its working capital needs, and meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for at least twelve months from the date the accounts are approved and accordingly have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

 
2.3

Revenue

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Company in respect of ticket, merchandise and food sales exclusive of Value Added Tax.
Revenue is recognised on the date of the event. Amounts received in advance are carried forward as deferred income.

 
2.4

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
2.5

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.6

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income 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 income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.7

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

 
2.8

Intangible assets

Costs associated with the creation of a new show are capitalised and are then expensed over the years in which the performances take place by amortisation over the expected life of the show on a straight line basis. 
Creation costs comprise salaries and fees paid to creators and designers during the creation and rehearsal period. The Company reviews the book values of unamortised creation costs for the production on an on-going basis and , where conditions warrant, may revise the estimated revenue and the resultant amortisation period for creation costs based on past experience of shows created within the Group. If appropriate, the Company then writes down creation costs to an amount not exceeding the net recoverable amount, that is forecasted revenue net of direct operating expenses.
Creation costs relate to the development of a new show which has not yet been completed. No amortisation is to be provided until the development is complete and the company starts to generate income from its use.

 
2.9

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Fixtures and fittings
-
20%
Straight line basis
Computer equipment
-
20%
Straight line basis

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.10

Stocks

Merchandise and beverages are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

 
2.11

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at the transaction price.
