MIDLAND FUNERAL SUPPLIES LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01342411)

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 May 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Midland Funeral Supplies Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address are as below:

Registered number: 01342411

Registered office: 26a Tamworth Street
Lichfield
WS13 6JJ

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


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 company's year end was changed to 31 May last financial year. As a result, the comparative period, year ended 31 May 2022 covered a 17 month period and will not be entirely comparable.

Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results in the future could differ from those estimates. Management considers that certain accounting assumptions relating to taxation and provisions are its critical accounting policies.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Improvements to property - 5% on cost
Plant and machinery - 15% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost

Directors have reviewed the depreciation policy for all categories of fixed assets and decided that the above rates are a more reasonable reflection of the useful life of the assets and changed the policies accordingly.

Stocks
Stock is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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.

Going concern and covid-19
Having emerged from the post Covid-19 era, we can report that when taken in aggregate across all sites, turnover was increased for the year with sales performance exceeding the previous year month on month for all but the month of December.

The supply issues alluded to in the previous annual report have eased, however raw material prices have not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and these have had to be absorbed by price increases to our customers.

As 2023 progresses we still see the pressures of inflation, along with energy costs, which have not reduced to any discernible degree. Demand for our products remains high.

It is the management's assessment that Brexit has still shown no discernible effect on the business.

On this basis, management continue to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis and deem this appropriate. The director does not consider that a material uncertainty about the going concern status currently exists. In making this assessment the director has considered the likely trading conditions for a period of twelve months from the date of the approval of these accounts.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
