NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

The Company of Master Jewellers Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about The Company of Master Jewellers Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Turnover
The company acts as a negotiating and paying agent for its group of retail jeweller members. Turnover represents the commission earned by the company from suppliers on purchases made by CMJ members, plus sales made from the company's own stock or of its other services.

Commissions are recognised when the right to consideration has been earned and where the economic benefits to members are accrued evenly during the year on supplier contracts, commissions are spread evenly throughout the year.

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.

Development costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of nil years.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are recognised at cost and subsequently measured under the historical cost model being cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes any direct expenditure incurred to bring the asset to its current location and condition necessary for the asset to work as intended by management.

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets by equal installments over their estimated useful lives as follows:-

Land and buildings- 2% on cost / valuation
Plant and machinery etc- 33% on cost and 25% on reducing balance

Any gains and losses on the disposal of tangible fixed assets are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year that the disposal takes place.

Freehold property is shown and depreciated based on its most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Financial instruments
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset in measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Taxation
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
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.

Foreign currencies
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 of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

for and on behalf of Dafferns LLP

12. OTHER FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS

Total financial commitments and guarantees which are not included in the balance sheet amount to £60,009 (2023: £30,863).

13. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

As described in the directors report the shareholders consist of a group of retail jewellers who exploit their combined buying power and marketing potential for their mutual benefit. The board of directors are elected from the shareholders to manage the affairs of the company by holding periodic board meetings, therefore the directors are not involved on a day to day basis. The shareholders, including the directors, as retail jewellers make purchases through the company and form part of the trade debtors of the company. All transactions with the shareholders are at arms length under normal trading terms and conditions and therefore no separate disclosure of these transactions is considered to be appropriate in these financial statements.

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.
