Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 May 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Thistle Help Limited is a |
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 the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
Going concern |
The directors review the operating requirements of the business on a regular basis taking account of existing resources as well as trading performance. All of this is done to ensure as far as is possible that the business has adequate funds to meet commitments as they fall due. Having carried out this exercise the directors are satisfied that the accounts may be prepared on a going concern basis. |
Turnover/revenue recognition |
Sales comprise the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Company's activities. |
Sales are presented, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts. |
The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related cost can be reliably measured, it is probable that the collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured and when the specific criteria for each of the Company's activities are met. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a trade is the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Positive goodwill is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the director's estimate of its useful economic life which is 5 years. Impairment tests on the carrying value of goodwill are undertaken; |
- at the end of the first full financial year following acquisition; |
- in other period if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less additional costs to completion and disposal. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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 |
Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership (finance leases), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable over the term of the lease. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as amounts payable to the lessor. Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged to the profit and loss account over the shorter of estimated useful economic life and the period of the lease. |
Lease payments are analysed between capital and interest components so that the interest element of the payment is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and is calculated so that it represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. The capital part reduces the amounts payable to the lessor. |
All other leases are treated as operating leases. Their annual rentals are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a money purchase pension scheme in the form of employee personal pension plans. The contracts are between the individual and the pension provider and all funds are held externally by a third party pension provider. Pension contributions are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash held by the company and short term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from inception and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. |
Impairment of fixed assets |
At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the amount of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
