2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results in the future could differ from those estimates. Management considers that certain accounting assumptions relating to taxation and provisions are its critical accounting policies. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |
Improvements to property | - |

Stocks |
Stock is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.

Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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 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. |
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. |
Going concern |
Having navigated the challenges thrown up by worldwide events over the earlier years of the current decade, we now find the markets for our raw materials to be relatively settled. Energy costs as well as inflation are steadily reducing from the peaks of 2022/23. |
However, following two consecutive years of substantial rise in the minimum wage, exacerbated by uncertainties surrounding the incoming government's employment policies, the cost of labour and any associated issues are now moving to pole position as regard to the pressures on our costs of manufacture. |
Although the national death rate has been at a reduced level in recent months, which has been reflected in our turnover, we have held our market share. |
On this basis, management continue to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis and deem this appropriate. The director does not consider that a material uncertainty about the going concern status currently exists. In making this assessment the director has considered the likely trading conditions for a period of twelve months from the date of the approval of these accounts. |
