The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
The company has significant cash resources and no requirement for external funding. Consequently, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore continue to believe the going concern basis of accountancy is appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these best estimates, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis. |
The significant items in the financial statements where these judgements are required (and the factors in play) include: debtors (likelihood of recovery), fixed assets (depreciation rates & useful lives) and the going concern basis of accounting. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net sales of goods, excluding value added tax and any discount offered, recognised when the company becomes entitled to the income concerned and when the outcome of the transaction can be reliably measured. |
This occurs when: |
- the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; |
- the company no longer retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
- it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and |
- the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
Plant & machinery etc - 25% on cost, 10% on reducing balance. |
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost |
Factors such as a change in how an asset is used, significant unexpected wear and tear, technological advancement, and changes in market prices may indicate that the residual value or useful life of an asset has changed since the most recent annual reporting date. If such indicators are present, the company will review its previous estimates and, if current expectations differ, amend the residual value, depreciation method or useful life, accounting for such revisions as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with FRS 102. |

Financial instruments |
The company has no complex financial instruments but does hold basic financial instruments of; cash at bank, debtors and creditors. |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, foreign currency on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. A bank overdraft would be shown within current liabilities. |
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less losses for bad debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, trade and other debtors are stated at cost less losses for bad debts. |
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, trade and other creditors are stated at cost. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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 rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
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. |
Employment benefits |
The total cost of employee benefits to which employees have become entitled as a result of service rendered to the entity during the reporting period are recognised and charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |

Provisions for liabilities |
A provision for liabilities is initially recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as the result of a past event, it is probable that there will be the transfer of funds in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated readily. The provision is subsequently measured by placing a charge against the provision only for expenditure for which the provision was originally recognised. |

12. | CONSIGNMENT STOCK |
Inventory held by the company at the financial year end is classed as consignment in nature, due to the terms in place with the company's suppliers. As such, this inventory (estimated by the director at a year-end value of approximately £40,000) is only considered to be an asset of the company when title passes to the company. This only occurs when that inventory is sold to the eventual customer and as such, no inventory is recognised at the financial year end. |
