Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Yoshino & Co. (U.K.) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 01785731 . The registered office is 5 Cornfield Terrace, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 4NN.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).  
It should be noted that during the period, the company only traded for 2 months due to the relocation of the restaurant to new premises.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities - The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
2.3. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Other Intangible assets are amortised to profit and loss account over its estimated economic life of 10 years.
Website Development is amortised to profit and loss account. The rate of amortisation varies between 1 year & 10 years.
2.4. Research and Development
Expenditure on research and development is written off to the statement of profit and loss in the year it s incurred.
Page 3
Page 4
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. 
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases, assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets:
Leasehold Over the life of the lease
Motor Vehicles 3 Years straight line
Fixtures & Fittings 3 Years straight Line
2.6. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to profit and loss account as incurred.
2.7. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.
2.8. Financial Instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an assets carrying amount and the best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for an asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet 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.

2.9. Foreign Currencies
Monetary 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 ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.10. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.11. Government Grant
Government grants are recognised in the profit and loss account in an appropriate manner that matches them with the expenditure towards which they are intended to contribute.
Grants for immediate financial support or to cover costs already incurred are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. Grants towards general activities of the entity over a specific period are recognised in the profit and loss account over that period.
Grants towards fixed assets are recognised over the expected useful lives of the related assets and are treated as deferred income and released to the profit and loss account over the useful life of the asset concerned.
All grants in the profit and loss account are recognised when all conditions for receipt have been complied with.
2.12. Contingent Assets
Contingent assets are not recognised as an asset in the financial statements as the timing, amount and probability of reciept cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent assets are instead disclosed within the notes to the financial statements.

15. Contingent asset
During the year ended 31 October 2022 the company undertook a share for share exchange with Chemitec N.V, a company registered in Curacao. On 14 December 2021 a declaration of Trust and Promissory Note approved the transfer of receivables to Yoshino & Co. (U.K.) Limited totalling EUR 4,233,557. This amount was subsequently waived by Chemitec  on 28 December 2022 due to their intention to liquidate in the near future.
Of the receivables balance, £1,096,842 was received in 2022, the remaining amount plus interest and legal costs is still under dispute with the spanish tax authorities.
Legal proceedings commenced in 2022 and have been ongoing throughout the financial year. The contingent asset has not been recoginsied as a debtor at 31 October 2023, as whilst the Lawyers determine a high probability of winning the case, the amount to be returned to Yoshino & Co. (U.K.) Limited cannot be determined at this time.
