Basis of preparation |
Ultimate parent undertaking |
The Company's ultimate parent undertaking, Senator GmbH includes the Company in its consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of Senator GmbH are available to the public and may be obtained from D-64401 Gross-Bieberau, Bahnhofstresse 57, Germany. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
There are no critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
Valuation of stock - stock is of material value and include the directors' assessment of impairment. Impairment is assessed based on various factors, including the directors' knowledge of the stock and wider marketplace. The provision for stock is calculated as the value of the year end stock for which there have been no purchases within the last 12 months, and which is not expected to be sold within the next 24 months based on the level held at the year end and the sales within the last 12 months. |
Turnover |
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover is recognised upon dispatch of goods. |

Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the weighted average principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the stocks, production or conversion costs and other costs in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured stocks and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. |
Financial instruments |
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11:'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues ' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments |
The company only enters into basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade debtors and creditors. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Debtors |
Short terms debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash is represented by current accounts, cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
Creditors |
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. |
Foreign currencies |
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the company (foreign currencies) are recognised at the spot rate at the dates of the transactions or at an average rate where this rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged against profits represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. |
Taxation |
The charge for taxation is based upon the profit for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised without discounting in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date. |
Leases |
Operating lease rentals are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
The directors have considered a period of twelve months following the date of approval of the financial statements when considering the appropriateness of the adoption of the going concern basis of preparation. |
