Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets.
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. 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.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Plant & machinery
15% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles
25% on reducing balance
Fixtures & fittings
15% on reducing balance
Computer equipment
15% on reducing balance
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 arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's accounts. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease at a constant proportion of the outstanding balance of capital repayments.
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are recognised in the profit and loss account when due.
Under this scheme, business can access finance to maximum amount of £50,000. The government guarantees 100% of the loan and there are no fees or interest to pay for the first 12 months. After 12 months, the interest is capped at 2.5% per year.
Government grants in relation to COVID-19 which becomes receivable as compensation for losses or expenses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs is recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme relates to staff who have been furloughed due to Covid-19. The grant is recognised within income and is not offset against expenditure (eg payroll cost) in profit or loss. CJRS grant is taxable income and hence is brought into tax computation as such.
Where a CJRS grant is receivable by the reporting date but has not been received, a debtor balance is recognised.
Business rates relief is not a government grant and hence FRS102, Section 24 and FRS 105, Section 19 will not apply. Where an entity has taken advantage off the business rates relief, it will be treated as an absent cost and profit or loss charge will be reduced for the period of the relief.
