1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Swinkels Family Brewers U.K. Ltd is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Significant judgements and estimates |
Agent versus principal |
The Company is deemed as the agent for all private label sales. |
Swinkels Family Brewers Holdings NV negotiate all sales contracts, provide all products and take on both the credit and stock risks associated with the sale. |
Swinkels Family Brewers UK Limited provide UK based logistical and invoicing support only. |
Debtor recoverability |
The majority of the trade debtors outstanding at 31 December 2023 relate to its trading activities with its key partners and full recovery is expected, as in previous years. Not all balances outstanding at the date of approval of the financial statements were within the normal commercial terms, these amount to £945,802, however full recovery is expected based on the working relationships with these customers. |
Transport accrual |
Transport costs are now invoiced to the holding company and then recharged to Swinkels Family Brewers U.K. Limited. As at 31 December 2023, there were a significant number of transport costs that remain uncharged and so have been accrued for. These costs remained uninvoiced at the date of approval, but confirmation of the outstanding balance has been received from the holding company. These amount to £438,269. |
Vat on Imports |
Swinkels Family Brewers U.K Limited have started to incur vat and duty on imports. They have been paying having vat deducted from them, which they believe is recoverable, however no action has been taken at this time to reclaim the vat. The amount due at the balance sheet date is £95,629 and this is believed to be fully recoverable. |
Turnover |
The Company acts as Principal for the sale of branded products. Turnover for these products represents the invoiced amount of goods provided, exclusive of value added tax. Turnover is recognised based on confirmed deliveries to customers, when the risks and rewards associated with the underlying products have been substantially transferred. |
Turnover is recognised net of customer rebates and discounts. |
The Company also acts as sales agent for its parent company with regards to private label product sales. Turnover for these products represents the commission earned on amounts invoiced to customers in the ordinary course of business. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either 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. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets 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 transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Trade debtors |
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less allowances for situations where recovery is doubtful. Such allowances are based on an individual assessment of each receivable. |
Trade creditors |
The price that the company pays suppliers for goods is determined through negotiations with suppliers regarding both the list price and a variety of rebates and discounts. |
