Ribcraft Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2024
1
Statutory information
Ribcraft Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales, registration number 02783470. The registered office is 6 Edward Close,, Yeovil , Somerset, BA22 8RU.
2
Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
3
Accounting policies
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.
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets.
Presentation currency
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Land & buildings
No Depreciation
Plant & machinery
20% Straight line
Motor vehicles
25% Straight line
Computer equipment
33% Straight line
Foreign exchange
Monetary 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 rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
Inventories
Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. In respect of work in progress and finished goods, cost includes a relevant proportion of overheads according to the stage of manufacturing/completion.
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Ribcraft Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2024
Leased assets
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the lease term. Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease at a constant proportion of the outstanding balance of capital repayments.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the forseeable future. The directors have considered the principle risks of the company for at least the next 12 months from date of signing. Although there has been a considerable impact on cashflow to date, with the use of director and associated company support and careful planning and consideration, the directors believe the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months.
Exceptional items - other operating income
Sale of Trademark During the year, the company disposed of a non-core trademark, resulting in a one-time gain. The transaction generated proceeds of £95000 and resulted in a net profit of £95000, which is classified as exceptional income. This sale is part of the company’s strategic initiative to streamline its intellectual property portfolio and focus on core trademarks more aligned with its long-term business objectives. The trademark sold was not integral to the company's ongoing operations, and the sale does not impact the company’s current or future revenue-generating activities. Given the one-off nature and materiality of the transaction, it has been classified as an exceptional item under other operating income in the financial statements.
