Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
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 Section 1A and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
Going concern
Notwithstanding the net liabilities of £675,068 (2022 - £454,170) and net current liabilities of £2,318,031 (2022 - £1,866,954) as at 31 December 2023 the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate. In forming this opinion, and having made all necessary enquiries and considered a period of no less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the directors have considered the following key matters:
• The profitable trading at gross margin level for the year to 31 December 2023, being the fifth full year at the new facility – and with further capacity for turnover growth, noting the production line expansion during the year.
• The committed support of the parent company and wider New West Gypsum group, and ability of the group to provide that support on an ongoing basis. In particular that, for the foreseeable future, being no less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the group will not seek repayment, to the extent that it would threaten the going concern status of the company, of the £2,600,577 (2022 - £2,398,118) of amounts due to group undertakings included within creditors falling due within one year.
• Their assessment that the company will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

Key accounting judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company's accounting policies management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key judgement which has a significant effect on the financial statements is in respect of going concern, as described in the accounting policy above.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:
The company has recognised an accrual of £133,000 (2022 - £130,000) in respect of unprocessed gypsum. The directors must assess both the quantity of unprocessed gypsum and the expected costs in order to recycle this gypsum.
The fair value of the investment property has been derived, by the directors, from comparable real estate using observable market prices, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. The carrying amount is £270,286 (2022 - £270,286).
Fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment loss. This requires an estimation in the depreciation rates used as well as assessment of the ongoing economic contribution of the assets of the company as to whether an indicator of impairment has occurred. The carrying amount is £1,425,169 (2022 - £1,222,403).
Revenue recognition
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents sales made during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax.
Turnover is recognised at the point where gypsum waste is transferred to the site.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.

Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Stamp duty |
10 years straight line |
Machinery and equipment |
15 years straight line |
Motor vehicles |
30% reducing balance |
Office equipment |
20% reducing balance |
Leasehold improvements |
10% reducing balance |
Investment property
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the profit and loss account and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Bank loans and finance leases; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Except for bank loans, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Bank loans are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
