2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
There were no material departures from that standard. |
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts. |
The company's finance system works on a 4-4-5 week basis, meaning the date the year-end figures are prepared to depends on how the end of the week falls. For this period that was on 27 March 2024, and so the figures are prepared up to that date. This does not change the company's accounting reference date at Companies House, which remains as 31 March. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Income is recognised when the goods have been despatched to customers. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first out formula. |
Financial instruments |
Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost with changes recognised in profit or loss. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the period 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 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. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
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. |

10. | DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 444(5B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 |
The Report of the Auditors was qualified on the following basis: |
Basis for qualified opinion |
We were not appointed as auditors of the company until after 31 March 2022, whilst we were able to carry out work in relation to opening balances at 1 April 2022 that relate to the period ending 31 March 2022, we were unable to obtain sufficient evidence through other audit procedures in respect of some areas, including the stock figures at that point. The stock value in the March 2022 financial statements being £21,137. Our audit opinion on the financial statements for the period 31 March 2023 was modified accordingly. Our opinion on the current period's financial statements is also modified because of the possible effect of these matters on the comparability of the current periods figures and the corresponding figures. |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing(UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our | responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial | statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are | relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our | other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. |
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. |
