NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
J & S Meats Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The Company's registered number is 13458369 and the registered office is Unit 5a Bridgewater Close, Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom, RG30 1JT. |
The principal activity of the company is the wholesale and retail supply of meat and meat products. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is also the functional currency of the company. |
Going concern |
The directors are not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the company to continue trading. The preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is therefore deemed appropriate. |
Turnover |
Sales revenue (described as turnover) is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Revenue is recognised on delivery of goods for trade sales and at the point of sale for retail sales. |
Goodwill |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as below: |
Plant and machinery | - Straight line over 4 years |
Commercial vehicles | - 25% Reducing balance |
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. |
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 |
Financial instruments |
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently remeasured to amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts, except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts, when applicable, are shown within current liabilities. |
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently remeasured to amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. |
Taxation |
Tax on profit represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. |
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the profit as reported in the profit and loss account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year. |
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used to compute taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available to utilise the timing difference. |
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply in the period the liability is settled or the asset realised. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences in which the company expects to recover or settle the underlying amount of its assets and liabilities. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
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. |
