NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Stone Marine Propulsion Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Langham Industries Limited.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Langham Industries Limited. Consolidated financial statements
of Langham Industries Limited can be obtained from:
Companies House
Crown Way
Cardiff
CF14 3UZ

Revenue
Revenue represents sales at invoice value less trade discounts allowed and excluding value added tax. Revenue is recognised upon the despatch of goods or when services are performed.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its useful economic life.

Plant- 7% to 10% on cost
Office equipment- 20% on cost
Vehicles- 33% on cost

At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered and impairment loss. If there is any indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to is estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income statement.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses,, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Government grants
Government grants relating to revenue are recognised using the accruals model. The revenue is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate are recognised.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The company has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.


Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the financial reporting date. Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the date of transaction. Gains and losses arising in the normal course of trade are included in the income statement.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company is a member of the Langham Industries Group Personal Pension Plan. This Plan is a money purchase scheme and contributions payable for the year are charged to the income statement. Assets for the Plan are held in separate trustee administered funds.

Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less impairment. Entities are not consolidated where the company does not have control.

Amounts recoverable on contracts
Services provided to customers during the year, which at the financial reporting date have not been billed to customers, have been recognised as revenue. Revenue recognised in this manner is based on an assessment of the fair value of the services provided at the financial reporting date as a proportion of the total value of the contract. Provision is made against unbilled amounts on those contracts where the right to receive payment is contingent on factors outside the control of the company. Unbilled revenue is included in debtors.

Going concern
Activity levels in the marine sector remained low, resulting in a loss before taxation in the period to 31 December 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors believe that this is appropriate because of the strength of the company's order book at the financial reporting date, and are confident that the company will return to profitability.
