NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Euro Driveshafts 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. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Going concern
The directors have the continuing long-term financial support provided by the wider Group. The directors have also reviewed the post year-end financial information available at the time of approving these financial statements, giving consideration to the ongoing war in Ukraine and other global economic factors, and have concluded that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Euro Driveshafts Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 401 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Invicta Holdings Limited, 3 Droste Crescent, Droste Park, Johannesburg, South Africa.

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.

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.

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis over the useful lives based on management's estimation. The estimated useful lives are assessed on an annual basis for each category of assets. The estimated useful lives for the current period are as follows:

Short leasehold- over period of lease
Plant and machinery- 1 to 6 years
Fixtures and fittings- 5 to 10 years
Computer equipment- 3 to 5 years
Motor vehicles- 4 to 5 years

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less any impairment losses.

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

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year 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 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.

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 average rate of exchange ruling in the month of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

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.

True and fair override
These financial statements have departed from the requirements of FRS 102 Section 20 with regards to the treatment of an operating lease entered into by the company during the period. This departure was necessary, in the the opinion of the directors, to show a true and fair view of the company's financial position with reference to other group undertakings within the group, ensuring all group accounting policies are consistent. The impact of this treatment is immaterial to the overall net assets and to the reported loss for the year.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 27 (2023 - 40 ) .
