Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Auto - Rescue Logistics 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 applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A - "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102 section 1A") and with the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and cover the period to the 31st March each year.

Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Auto - Rescue Logistics Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

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 relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

Valuation of Investment Property
Investment property is held at fair value as at the balance sheet date. Directors review several similar properties within the local market at the year end to determine an average price per square foot, this price per square foot is then applied to the square footage of the investment property to generate its fair value.

Revenue
Turnover represents net invoices sale of services, excluding value added tax. Fees in respect of services are recognised when services are rendered. This includes work which has not yet been invoiced, provided that it is considered to be fully recoverable.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost
Plant and machinery - 20% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affect asset is estimated and compared with the carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carry amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If an impairment subsequently reserves, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to revised the estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary and associate undertakings are recognised at cost less impairment.

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

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 taxation
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.

Leasing and hire purchase
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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.

10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The company has some exposure to foreign currency, credit, liquidity, market and network risks, these are limited by the company's financial management policies and practices described below.

Foreign currency risk
The company has no exposure to foreign currency risks as all of the company's sales and purchases are denominated in sterling.

Credit risk
The company offer credit terms to its customers which allows payment of the debt at a future specified time. The company mitigates this risk by maintaining strong customer relationships and regular analysis its sales ledger for troubled customers.

Liquidity risk
The directors have ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management in maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities. Currently based on the cash reserves this is not deemed a significant risk.

Market risk
There is a market risk associated with the fluctuation in demand for the products and services provided. Most of this is mitigated by monitoring the markets and implementing strategies to deal with the identified risks.

Network coverage risk
The company is exposed to the risk of ensuring it has sufficient suppliers in each region to ensure the loss of suppliers does not impact on network coverage. This is mitigated by continually reviewing the area coverage to ensure issues are dealt with at an early stage.

The company holds no derivative financial instruments at the year end.
