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:
Revenue comprises distribution revenue receivable and is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period it is contractually due.
Where revenue received exceeds costs incurred to date and profits are not anticipated, the balance is treated as deferred income and held on the Statement of Financial Position until further costs are incurred or profits anticipated. At this point the deferred income is released to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
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.
Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. 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.
The Company is eligible to claim a tax credit on production costs; the tax credit comprises relief based on total net costs and an additional deduction for enhanceable expenditure. The Company claims a payment based on the amount of enhanced expenditure and carries losses arising from total net costs forward against future profits.
Stocks comprise production costs, which are recorded as a current asset net of the relevant tax credit. Production costs are amortised to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings over the period in which rights to the relevant production are being exploited by the Company.
