NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE PERIOD 1 DECEMBER 2022 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Alpha Duplication Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the company's registered office is First Floor North, 40 Oxford Road, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, HP11 2EE. The registered number is 04321902. |
The presentation currency of these financial statements is Sterling (£), being the currency of the primary economic market in which the entity operates (its functional currency). All amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound unless stated otherwise. |
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
The company assesses at each reporting date whether tangible fixed assets are impaired. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimate useful life: |
Plant and machinery | Straight line over 3 years |
Furniture and fittings | Straight line over 3 years |
Office equipment | Straight line over 3 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since the last annual reporting date in the pattern by which the company expects to consume an asset's future economic benefits. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Stocks are valued 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. |
Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate. |
Work in progress is valued on the basis of direct costs plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity. |
Provision is made for any foreseeable losses where appropriate. No element of profit is included in the valuation of work in progress. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company has applied the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and Section 12 "Other Financial Instrument Issues" of FRS 102 to its financial statements. |
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 |
Tax on the profit or loss 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 directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. |
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. |
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Differences between accumulated depreciation and tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset, if and when all conditions for retaining the tax allowances have been met, are not provided for. Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences arising because certain types of income or expense are non-taxable or are disallowable for tax or because certain tax charges or allowances are greater or smaller than the corresponding income or expense. |
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax balances are not discounted. |
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 |
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities at the period end denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Exchange differences are taken into account when arriving at the operating profit. |
Leases |
Assets acquired and held under finance lease or hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the statement of financial position. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the asset. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. |
Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. The related obligation, exclusive of finances charges allocated to future periods, is recognised as a liability with the finance element charged to the income statement over the relevant period. |
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |

Defined contribution scheme |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Loans and borrowings |
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. |
Loans and borrowing that are due within one year are not discounted to present value. |
