Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
J. Littleton & Co. Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 02269144 . The registered office is Alexandra House, 74 Moorland Road, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, ST6 1DY.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities (modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets) - The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied and rent charged by the company, net of value added tax and trade discounts.
2.3. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
The tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation with the exception of freehold property.
No depreciationis provided in respect of freehold property. This represents a departure from the Companies Act requirements but as the company maintains its freehold property to a high standard which prolongs its useful life the directors consider that the adoption of this policy is necessary to give a true and fair view. The directors are of the opinion that the open market value of freehold property remains at £108,000 and is included in the financial statements at this value. The tangible fixed assets are depreciated at rates calculated to write off their cost or valuation, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 0%
Plant & Machinery 15% reducing balance
Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance
2.4. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to profit and loss account as incurred.
2.5. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 
2.6. Taxation
The corporation tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit and loss account because of items of disallowable expenses and capital allowance claims. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the assets are realised. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities.

2.7. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.8. Registrar Filing Requirements
The company has taken advantage of Companies Act 2006 section 444(1) and opted not to file the profit and loss account, directors report, and notes to the financial statements relating to the profit and loss account.
