GAUGE FACTORS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02966079)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Gauge Factors Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 02966079 and its registered office address is Unit 3 Towergate Industrial Park, Colebrook Way, Andover, Hampshire SP10 3BB.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The presentation currency is Sterling (£).

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The director does not consider there to be any significant judgements or estimates.

Turnover
Turnover is derived from the provision of strain gauge installation services and is recognised once the service is provided.

Turnover represents net sales during the year (excluding value added tax) adjusted for accrued and deferred income where applicable.

Tangible fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of fixed assets initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment20% straight line
Motor vehicle25% on reducing balance

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

Fixed assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.


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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and liabilities of the kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Operating lease commitments
Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership, the assets are treated as if they have been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is their fair value of the asset concerned. The corresponding liability to the leasing company is included as an obligation under finance leases. Depreciation on leased assets is charged to the income statement over the shorter of the lease term and their useful life. Leasing payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, and interest is charged to the income statement on a straight line basis which is considered to be a reasonable approximation to a constant rate of charge on the outstanding balance.

All other leases are treated as 'operating leases' and the relevant annual rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term.
