Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Rockingham Cars Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 01392480 . The registered office, and principal place of business, is Cockerell Road, Phoenix Parkway, Corby, Northants, NN17 5DU.
The principal activity of the company is that of a motor dealer and the provision of related services.
The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pound sterling (£).
Amounts in these financial statements are rounded up to the nearest £.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The directors have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenditure during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The following judgments have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:-
Consignment stock
Vehicles held on consignment have been included in 'stock - vehicles' within 'stocks' on the basis that the company has determined that it holds the significant risks and rewards attached to these vehicles. As such, the consignment stock is considered to be under the control of the company.
Stock valuation
Stock valuation is regularly monitored against age profile and market demand. Management use a number of market tools during the appraisal process including CAP valuation guides. The director maintains oversight of aged stock profiles and performs a monthly review for any provision required.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When an impairment review is carried out the recoverable value is determined based on value in use calculations which require estimates to be made of future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Brand incentives
The company receives income in the form of various incentives which are determined by the company's brand partners. The amount receivable is generally based on achieving specific objectives such as a specified sales volume, as well as other objectives including maintaining brand partner standards which may include, but are not limited to, retail centre image and design requirements, customer satisfaction survey results and training standards. Objectives are generally set and measured on either a quarterly or annual basis.
Where incentives are based on a specific sales volume or number of registrations, the related income is recognised as a reduction in cost of sales when it is reasonably certain that the income has been earned. This is generally the later of the date the related vehicles are sold or registered or when it is reasonably certain that the related target will be met. Where incentives are linked to retail centre image and design requirements, customer satisfaction survey results or training standards, they are recognised as a reduction in cost of sales when it is reasonably certain that the incentive will be received for the relevant period.
The company may also receive contributions towards advertising, promotional and rent expenditure. Where such contributions are received, they are recognised as a reduction in the related expenditure in the period to which they relate.

Page 5
2.4. Turnover
Turnover from the sale of goods and the provision of services is recognised in the Income Statement, net of discounts and Value Added Tax, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In general this occurs when vehicles or parts have been supplied or when a service has been completed.
Commission
Commission income is recorded in Other operating income and is accounted for on a receivable basis.
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure 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.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is an indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

The company adds to the carrying amount of an item in fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Income Statement during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of the assets less their residual value, over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
Freehold 2% on cost
Plant & Machinery 15% on reducing balance and 20% straight line
Motor Vehicles Between 18% and 25% on reducing balance
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within the Income Statement.
2.6. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the income statement so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to income statement as incurred.
2.7. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

Page 6
2.8. Taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as Other Comprehensive Income or to an item recognised directly in Equity, is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Equity respectively.

The current tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:

  • The recognition of a deferred tax asset 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.
  • Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences.

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.9. Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Income Statement when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
2.10. Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Income Statement over the term of the debt on a straight line basis.
2.11. Financial instruments
Debtors
Short term debtors are stated at the transaction price less any impairment.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured at amortised cost.
2.12. Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders.

Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 31 (2023: 33)
