NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Vandapower Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. |
Going concern |
The company relies on support from the parent company. Vandapower Group NV has confirmed it intends to continue to provide financial support to enable Vandapower Limited to meet its obligations as they fall due, at least until 31 March 2026. The directors are confident that Vandapower Group NV has sufficient resources to provide a sufficient level of support. |
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future period for. |
The critical judgements made by management that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below. |
Critical judgement and key estimations |
Despite significant ageing of some items of stock held at year end, the directors believe that no provision is required in the financial statements in relation to stocks. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods, excluding value added tax. |
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the transaction and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful |
life. |
Plant and machinery | - | 20% on cost |
Fixtures and fittings | - | 10% on cost |
Computer equipment | - | 33% on cost |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, on an average costing basis incorporating a calculation of some absorption of transport and customs costs, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified by the director as basic or advanced following the conditions in FRS 102 Section 11. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. The company has no advanced financial instruments. |
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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
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. |

Employee benefits |
The cost of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. |
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employees services are received. |
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the group is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. |
Operating lease commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |

11. | DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 444(5B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 |
The Report of the Auditors was qualified on the following basis: |
Basis for qualified opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We were not appointed as auditor of the company until after 31 December 2023 and thus did not observe the counting of physical stock at the end of the year. We were also not able to demonstrate there is appropriate sufficient audit evidence for some unit price valuations and the potential provision of some slow moving categories of certain items of stock. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the stock quantities and the valuation of certain stock items held at 31 December 2023 or 31 December 2022, which are included at the balance sheet date at £1,426,980, by using other audit procedures. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary. |
Matters required to report by exception |
Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to stocks, referred to above: |
- | we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and |
- | we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept. |
