NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD 1 MAY 2023 TO 31 MAY 2024


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Philpott & Company 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its bank facility. After making enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future; considered to be 12 months from signing the financial statements. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of services supplied. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and other sales taxes, such as value-added tax. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
- it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
- the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
- the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets
All assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of an asset initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Plant and machinery etc. 25 % and 10% on cost.

Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of stocks comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related overheads. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less applicable variable selling expenses.

Work in progress is valued at cost, which includes outlays incurred on behalf of clients and an appropriate proportion of directly attributable costs and overheads on incomplete assignments. Provision is made for irrecoverable costs where appropriate.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
a) Debtors
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

b) Creditors
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

c) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

d) Interest income
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Investments
Investments are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a change attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
-the recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
-any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Both current and deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

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

Pension costs
The company makes contributions into the personal retirement schemes of certain staff. Contributions by the company and staff are determined by mutual agreement.

In the aforementioned schemes, staff contract directly with the pension company, and assets of those schemes are held separately from those of the company. The company acts as agent in collecting and paying over staff pension contributions. Once the contributions have been paid, the company as employer has no further obligations.

The company's contributions are charged to the profit and loss in the period to which they relate.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the period was 2 (2023 - 4 ) .
