2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

11. 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 £147,898. 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 and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
