NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Data Design Services Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 02233967 and it's registered office address is Fryern House, 125 Winchester Road, Chandler's Ford, Southampton, Hampshire, SO53 2DR. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A ''Small Entities'' of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is £ sterling. |
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. |
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
Useful life of tangible fixed assets |
A reliable estimate is made of the useful life of tangible assets on acquisition. The estimate is based on a variety of factors such as expected use of the acquired asset and assumptions that market participants would consider in respect of similar business. |
Leases |
A lease that does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership is classified as an operating lease and is therefore not included in the statement of financial position. |
Other key sources of estimation uncertainty |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. Residual value assessments consider issues such as market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
Turnover |
Turnover is derived from providing information technology consultancy services, and is recognised once the service is provided. |
Turnover represents net sales during the year (excluding value added tax) adjusted for accrued and deferred income where applicable. |

Tangible fixed assets |
All fixed assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
The cost of fixed assets initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management. |
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the costs less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: |
Plant and machinery | 20% on cost |
Computer equipment | 20% on cost |
Fixtures and fittings | 20% on cost |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is adjusted for prospectively. |
Fixed assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. |
Financial instruments |
The company only has financial assets and liabilities of the kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
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 by the balance sheet date. |
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. |
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 the Income Statement in the period to which they relate. |
Operating lease commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Dividends |
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. |

Research and development |
Expenditure on research is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised and depreciated over its useful life. |
Foreign currencies |

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 result. |
