NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Essex Park Motor Company 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.

2. 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 under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£) which is the functional currency for the company and rounded to the nearest £.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable,excluding value added tax, of sales of vehicles and parts together with amounts invoiced to customers for servicing and for the rental of vehicles. It includes commission receivable on arranging finance for customer purchases.

Turnover also includes income received from bonuses and incentives, which are recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period to which they relate.

Turnover from the sale of vehicles is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the vehicle has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the vehicle.

Turnover is attributable to the principal activity of the company and is UK based.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Land and buildings - Short Leasehold - over the length of the leases

Plant and machinery etc - at varying rates on cost

At each reporting date, property, plant and equipment are reviewed to determined whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an 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 its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.

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 impairment is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is based on

Parts Purchase cost on a first-in, first our basis
New vehicles (owned) Original purchase cost
New vehicles (consignment) Current manufacturer purchase price
Demonstration vehicles Original cost adjusted to reflect changes in residual value
Used vehicles The price paid or trade-in allowance granted

Net realisable value is based upon selling price less an estimate for discounts and selling expenses to be incurred to disposal.

The directors consider that consignment stocks of certain new vehicles held by the company on behalf of the MG Motor UK and Subaru UK as applicable meet the criteria of Financial Reporting Standard 102 to be recognised as assets. Accordingly, such new vehicles are shown as stock in the financial statements with a corresponding liability shown within creditors falling due within one year.

Taxation
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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.

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences.

Hire Purchase and leasing commitments
Rental under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Trade and Other Payables

Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value net of their transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
