Mr N A Raynsford - Director


LANGDOWNS DFK LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06014654)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD 1ST MAY 2023 TO 31ST MARCH 2024


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Langdowns DFK 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. 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 the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Langdowns DFK Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Turnover
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts invoiced during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax.

In respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Turnover in respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.

Goodwill
The Companies Act 2006, and Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102 1A require goodwill to be written off over a finite period. FRS 102 1A goes on to say that this finite period should not be longer than 10 years unless a reliable estimate can be made it is longer than this. It also states that the depreciable amount over the period is the value of the asset, less it's residual value, spread over that period.

FRS 102 1A states that the residual value to use for this purpose should be zero unless there is an active market for the asset.

However, the Directors believe that following this policy would not give a true and fair view of the financial statements for the company, on the grounds that :

a) The goodwill of the business from the commencement of trading of the company clearly has a much longer life than merely 10 years;
b) A standard formulaic approach has been adopted under an annual impairment review basis by the Board to gain comfort this asset is at least as valuable as when initially introduced;
c) Whilst not perhaps strictly meeting the prescriptive definition of "residual value" under the FRS, it would be clearly inappropriate in the view of the Board to treat this as being zero.
d) Whilst also not meeting the prescriptive definition of "active market" under the FRS, the Board have experienced many examples in the open market place to believe the asset is valued at no less than the carrying value currently shown in the financial statements.

Therefore, the Directors do not feel it is appropriate to amortise the goodwill acquired by the Company on commencement of trade, being £1,411,355, and so have departed from this requirement under FRS 102 1A in order to give a true and fair view.

If the departure had not been made the profit and loss for the financial year would be unaffected as the goodwill in question would have been fully amortised had a rate of 10% per annum been applied.

All additional goodwill purchased subsequent to the commencement of trading of the company has been written off over it's estimated useful life in accordance with the accounting standards.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

FOR THE PERIOD 1ST MAY 2023 TO 31ST MARCH 2024


3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - Over the remaining term of the lease
Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line and 12.5% straight line
Computer equipment - 25% straight line

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

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 balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
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 period 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.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates 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 transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

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.

Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in administrative expenses.

Work in progress is valued at charge rate less a provision for known irrecoverable time.

4. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the period was 7 (2023 - 7 ) .
