Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 October 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Automation Technologies Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number, registered office address and business address can be found on the Company Information page. |
The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. |
Revenue is recognised as contract activity progresses. Revenue not billed is included in debtors and payments on account in excess of the relevant amount of revenue are included in creditors. |
Intangible assets |
Other intangible assets represent development costs which are not being amortised and will only start being amortised when the development project is finished. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended by management. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Plant & machinery | - 15% reducing balance, 20% and 33% on cost |
Computer equipment | - 33% on cost |
Motor vehicles | - 10% and 25% reducing balance |
Financial instruments |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. |
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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
Impairment policy |
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its 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 an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
Going concern |
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
Government assistance |
Government grants regarding assets are recognised over the useful life of the asset. |
Included in bank loans is a bounce back loan which is guaranteed by the government. As part of the bounce back loan scheme the government paid the first year of interest on the loan. |
