2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The director has assessed various factors and risks affecting the company and its ability in these difficult economic times to continue to trade as a going concern. The director has not identified any material uncertainties or risks related to events or conditions that could affect the carrying values of the company's assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date. |
On the basis of all the foregoing, the financial statements for the year ended 31st January 2024 have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The director considers all financial instruments to be basic financial instruments in accordance with paragraph 11 of FRS102. All basic financial instruments including trade and other debtors, cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price and thereafter stated at amortised cost. |
Trade and other receivables and payables |
Trade and other receivables and payables are measured at amortised cost which approximates to fair value given the short term nature of these assets and liabilities. |
Trade receivables are valued at original invoice amount less an allowance for potentially un-collectable debts. Provision is made where there is objective evidence to suggest that the company will not be in a position to collect receivables as they fall due. Bad and Doubtful debts are written off in the profit and loss account on identification. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances held for the purposes of meeting short-term cash commitments. |
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 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 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 profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Leasehold property improvements |
The company renewed the lease on the company's business premises for a period of ten years from November 2022. The previous lease was for a period of five years and as such the accounting framework under which the company prepares its financial statements would have had the costs of improvements to the leasehold premises depreciated over the five year life of that lease. However, the director's view has been such that that policy did not reflect a true and fair view, particularly in mind of the fact that the company was then seeking to renew the then existing lease to 15 years and thus have taken the decision to extend the period of depreciation; it is acknowledged that this represents a departure from FRS 102. |

Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the relevant lease.However, with specific regard to the property lease, the director feels that costs should be reflected in accordance with the incremental step increases stated within the lease, to reflect a more true and fair view.It is acknowledged that this represents a departure from FRS 102. |
