Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2023

1. Accounting policies

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

Turnover policy

Turnover represents amounts derived from the provision of goods and services which fall within the company's ordinary activities, exclusive of tax.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation policy

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write off the costs within their estimated useful lives. The amount to be written off is reduced by the residual value expected when use of the assets ceases. Additions in the year bear a due portion of the annual charge. The methods adopted and rates used are: Plant and Machinery - 6% reducing balance; Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 5% reducing balance; Office Equipment 12% reducing balance; and Motor vehicles - 20% reducing balance.

Valuation and information policy

Stocks and Works in progress - Stock is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Provision is made for any items of obsolete or slow moving stock. Work in Progress represents the fair value attributable to work done not yet invoiced at the balance sheet date after all losses incurred or anticipated to be incurred in completion of the contracts, and is provided for on a contract by contract basis.

Other accounting policies

Revaluation of tangible assets - A review of tangible fixed assets was carried out in 2019 resulting in the revaluation model being used to measure plant & machinery and motor vehicles. Plant & machinery and motor vehicles were revalued to current market value as at 31 December 2019. An independent valuer was not involved as the market values were readily attainable. Had the assets not been revalued, under the cost model the carrying amount after depreciation charged for the year as at 31 December 2023 would have been £110,439 for all plant & machinery; and £12,760 for all motor vehicles. Deferred taxation - Tax deferred as a result of timing differences between accounting and taxation profits is provided for on a full basis. Such provision is made for at the taxation rates at which the differences are expected to reverse. Hire Purchasing - Assets acquired under hire purchase and leasing agreements are capitalised at their fair value on the inception of the agreement and depreciated over their useful economic lives. The finance charge is allocated to the profit and loss on a straight line basis over the period of the agreement. Rentals charges on operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account as payments accrue, over the term of the lease. Foreign currencies - Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate 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 the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
