Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2022

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts invoiced during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the expected useful economic life of that asset as follows:Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment: 25% straight lineDepreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since last annual reporting date in the pattern by which the company expects to consume an asset’s future economic benefits.

    Other accounting policies

    Statement of Compliance Softline UK Limited is a limited liability company incorporated in England & Wales. The Registered Office is Unit 2, The IO Centre, Salbrook Industrial Estate, Salbrook Road, Salfords, RH1 5GJ.These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”).The presentation currency of these financial statements is Sterling (£). All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £1.Going ConcernAfter reviewing the Company’s forecasts and projections, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.Accounting Policies and Measurement ConventionThe accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis.1.1 Classification of Financial Instruments Issued by the CompanyFinancial instruments issued by the Company are treated as equity only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions:(a) they include no contractual obligations upon the Company to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company; and(b) where the instrument will or may be settled in the Company’s own equity instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of the Company’s own equity instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the Company exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability.1.2 Basic Financial Instruments Trade and Other Debtors / CreditorsTrade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of instrument for a similar debt instrument.Interest-bearing Borrowings Classified as Basic Financial InstrumentsInterest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the cash flow statement.1.3 Impairment of AssetsAt each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if and only if the reasons for the impairment have ceased to apply.1.5 StocksStocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving items.1.7 Employee BenefitsA defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans and other employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.1.8 Operating LeasePayments (excluding costs for services and insurance) made under operating leases are recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation; in which case the payments related to the structured increases are recognised as incurred. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit and loss over the term of the lease as an integral part of the total lease expense.1.9 Interest Receivable and Interest PayableInterest payable and similar charges include debt factoring charges applied to receivables advanced from a factoring agency. Interest income and interest payable are recognised in profit or loss as they accrue, using the effective interest method.1.10 TaxationTax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax, with the following exceptions:Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and similar fair value adjustments) of fixed assets, and gains on disposal of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold.Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the Directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.1.11 Foreign CurrenciesAssets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.

Amounts owed by group undertakings are interest free, unsecured and repayable on demand. These amounts are historic and arose from the inception and initial financing of the Softline group of companies. The amounts represent intra-group balances that are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of Softline Limited, an intermediate parent company. Therefore, although the amounts are due on demand, the Company does not have any immediate plans to make a call for payment in the near term.
