NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Numeric House, 98 Station Road, Sidcup, Kent, DA15 7BY, United Kingdom.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Equipment leased to customers
Equipment leased to customers under operating leases is capitalised. Operating lease income is accounted for on a straight line basis with rental income and any rental increases recognised during the period to which they relate.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor.
Debtors
Debtors are initially recorded at fair value and are assessed for impairment at each year end date. If any impairments exist the debtors are remeasured to the present value of the expected future cash inflows.
Creditors
Creditors are initially recorded at fair value and are then remeasured to the present value of the expected future cash outflows.
Statement of cash flows
The company has taken advantage of the small companies exemptions and not prepared a statement of cash flows.
Consolidation
The company has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the company and its associated undertakings are included with the consolidated accounts of the parent company M.H.J. Limited.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
There are no significant estimates or assumptions made that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Revenue recognition
Revenue refers to the amounts earned from the Company's principal activity; the hire of plant and machinery. The revenue shown in the statement of comprehensive income represents amounts invoiced during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax. In respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services, revenue represents the value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Revenue in respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Tangible assets with a cost value in excess of £500 are capitalised, all items below this limit are expensed through the statement of comprehensive income.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Plant & Machinery
-
16% / 20% Reducing Balance
Fixtures & Fittings
-
3 Years straight line
Motor Vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Equipment
-
3 Years straight line
Investments in associated undertaking
Investments in associated undertakings accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in associated undertakings accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities .
4. Stock expenditure
Included in cost of sales is £554,197 (2022: £617,266), which represents the total cost of materials used during the year.
5. Particulars of employees
