Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31st March 2024
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Leighton Road, Billington, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 9BN.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The year end Statement of Financial Position reflects a net current liability position. The director is of the view that the going concern policy remians valid, despite the net current liability position, this view supported by the total net asset position and the ongoing financial support provided to the company to include the unsecured director loan funding.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the opinion of management, there are no areas of judgement or key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the financial statements, other than those highlighted below.
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for vehicles supplied and vehicle maintenance services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of tax currently payable and any deferred tax provision. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit can differ from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of adjustment for items that are not taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates in force at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's accounts. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Plant and machinery
-
20% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
20% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
25% straight line
An amount equal to the excess of the annual depreciation charge on revalued assets over the notional historical cost depreciation charge on those assets is transferred annually from the revaluation reserve to the profit and loss reserve.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly.
Stocks
Stocks of vehicles are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is computed on an actual basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less estimated cost of disposal. Stocks of workshop parts and consumables are calculated on an average cost basis.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
4. Employee numbers
The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to 3 (2023: 3 ).

Included in freehold property is a value of £1,378,000 which is attributable to revalued freehold land and buildings. The valuation was initially provided by the directors on 15 April 2020, on the basis of a report of equal date, by Kirkby Diamond, an appropriately qualified firm of chartered valuation surveyors. This was provided on the basis of open market value. The company has adopted the provisions set out in FRS 102 with regard to these freehold land and buildings. As the report provided gave a specific value during a recent period, the directors believe this revalued amount to still be appropriate in the accounts.
Tangible assets held at valuation
