GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
The directors' present their Group Strategic Report for the year ended 30 June 2024.
The Group's Statement of Financial Position as detailed on page 12 of the financial statements shows shareholders' funds of £10,405,816 (2023: 8,430,611).
Group turnover for the year increased by £3,642,428 (7.7%) with gross margin increasing by 2.1%, due to the slight easing in freight related inflationary pressures within the market. The main reason for the sales increase has come from the increase in spending in the homewares market.
Overhead expenditure has been tightly controlled during the year, albeit overheads have increased due to costs such as the increase to the minimum wage, with a significant proportion of overheads linked to the increase in sales.
The business continues to successfully grow with its existing relationships with customers and suppliers.
Principal risks and uncertainties
|
Economic Downturn
The success of the business is reliant on customer spending in soft furnishings and home improvements. A downturn in any area could affect sales and so senior management keep abreast of economic conditions. ln the case of a severe economic downturn, marketing and pricing strategies are modified to reflect the new conditions.
Proportion of Fixed Overheads as a Percentage of Turnover
|
A proportion of the Groups overheads are fixed. There is a risk that any significant decrease in revenue may lead to an inability to remain profitable. Management closely monitors fixed overheads against budget on a monthly basis and cost savings are made when there is an anticipated decline in revenue.
The markets in which the Group operates are highly competitive. As a result, there is constant downward pressure on margins. The Group strives to develop its sourcing routes to ensure the lowest cost of production is maintained.
The Group operates a robust appraisal process which identifies training and development requirements for all employees. Adequate amounts are budgeted for to achieve these aims and mitigate colleague turnover, whilst supporting the growth of the business.

FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
The majority of the Group's purchases come from overseas and are denominated in foreign currencies. The Group is therefore exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. If required, the business uses forward contracts and other derivatives/financial instruments to reduce the exposure. lf the hedging activity does not mitigate the exposure then the results and the financial condition of the Group may be adversely impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. Application of current accounting standards has meant that the operating profit is affected by large swings in difference on foreign exchange, due to the number of forward contracts in place at year end and the movement in exchange rates compared to the closing rate on 30 June 2024. Unfortunately, this effect will be visible on an ongoing annual basis.
Financial key performance indicators
|
The Group views its sales growth of £3,642,428, overheads as a percentage of sales 20.7% (2023: 23.2%) as its key financial performance indicators and monitors performance to ensure this is significantly better than required. The overheads are significantly positively impacted by an unrealised gain on future forward currency contracts.
Other key performance indicators
|
The Group uses a number of key performance indicators to deliver improvements in performance of working capital and customer service levels.
Working capital key performance indicators include debtor and creditor days, stock turn and cashflow benchmarked against predefined numbers.
Customer service key performance indicators include customer retention and satisfaction, along with various delivery key performance indicators.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Statement of the directors duties in performance of S172 Companies Act 2006
|
The board of directors of the Group consider that both individually and together for the year ended 30 June 2024 they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be the most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole and having regard to the matters set out in s172 (1)(a-f) as below:
a)the likely consequences of any decisions in the long-term;
b)the interests of the Group’s employees;
c)the need to foster the Group’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
d)the impact of the Group’s operations on the community and environment;
e)the desirability of the Group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
f)the need to act fairly as between shareholders of the Group.
The board will consider a range of matters when looking at the long-term success of the business, and therefore strategic decisions will fully consider the factors associated with s172.
Our employee stakeholders were fundamental to the significant decisions made in the year, with the aim of strengthening the opportunity for long term business success and therefore job security.
Employee communication is also made formally and informally on a regular basis through noticeboards and a variety of other means.
The business engages with its customer from the new product development phase through to subsequent account management. Meanwhile, our production sites are accessible for quality audits, and similarly the same high standards are applied by the company to ensure the suitability and technical capability of our supply partners.
The Group is focused on managing and reducing its carbon footprint and energy reduction through a variety of measures on an ongoing basis.
In the community, the business continually employs local skills, and has supported a variety of local causes. Shareholder value remains at the core of all strategic decision making.
This report was approved by the board on 17 March 2025 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Directors' responsibilities statement
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £2,128,377 (2023 - £1,172,479).
Dividends of £183,150 (2023: £183,150) were paid during the year.

FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
The Group's financial instruments comprise cash at bank, hire purchase and overdraft facilities. The object is to ensure that there is continuity of funding, that cash levels are sufficient to meet the ongoing needs of the business, and that there is flexibility to deal with unforeseen events. The policy is to smooth the cash management of the business and to arrange funding ahead of requirements, should it be needed.
The objective is to reduce the risk of loss arising from default by customers. The policy is to ensure customer debt and credit ratings are routinely monitored, and debt insured wherever possible.
The objective is to limit the Group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. At present, the Group only has secured bank borrowings in the form of a bank overdraft and trade loans, and maintains a policy of interest rate management.
The Group's objective is to mitigate the effect of exchange rate volatility by using forward contracts to purchase foreign currency.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Disclosure of information to auditor
|
Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
∙so far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company and the Group's auditor is unaware, and
∙the directors have taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as directors in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company and the Group's auditor is aware of that information.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The following paragraphs set out the basis of which the directors have reached their conclusion.
The Group has a profit before tax of £2,714,427 (2023: £1,453,620) and net assets totalling £10,405,816 (2023: £8,430,611) at 30 June 2024.
The Group and its subsidiaries currently meet their working capital requirements through their cash and bank funding. Based on the Group and subsidiaries' forecasts and projections, the directors believe they have sufficient facilities to trade through the next 12 months.
Therefore the directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the accounts to 30 June 2024 on a going concern basis and that there will be limited impact on solvency for a period of at least 12 months after the date of approval of the financial statements.

FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Flair Flooring Group Limited (the ‘Parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and the Parent Company’s affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;
∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for 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 "Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group and Parent 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.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
∙adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the Parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
∙certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors intend either to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Based on our understanding of the Group and the Parent Company and their industry, we considered that noncompliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation, anti-money laundering regulation.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
∙Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the Group and Parent Company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
∙Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
∙Considering the risk of acts by the Group and Parent Company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006.

FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
In addition, we evaluated the directors’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut off assertion) and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
∙Making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
∙Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
∙Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
∙Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of the audit report
This report is made solely to the Company's members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of Financial Position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The following paragraphs set out the basis of which the directors have reached their conclusion.
The Group has a profit before tax of £2,714,427 (2023: £1,453,620) and net assets totalling £10,405,816 (2023: £8,430,611) at 30 June 2024.
The Group and its subsidiaries currently meet their working capital requirements through their cash and bank funding. Based on the Group and subsidiaries' forecasts and projections, the directors believe they have sufficient facilities to trade through the next 12 months.
Therefore the directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the accounts to 30 June 2024 on a going concern basis and that there will be limited impact on solvency for a period of at least 12 months after the date of approval of the financial statements.

Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
∙the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Group 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.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

FLAIR FLOORING GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss 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 Group in independently administered funds.
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge 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.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.
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 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;
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
∙Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
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.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
100% accelerated depreciation
|
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 in profit or loss.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
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. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.
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 profit or loss.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are 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.
In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
|
|
Provisions for liabilities
|
Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Group has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
Financial liabilities
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 Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include:
Provision for impairment loss on trade debtors
The management of the Group exercises significant judgment in providing for impairment losses on trade debtors. At the year end trade debtors amounted to £5,681,471 (2023: £4,900,224).The provision for impairment loss recognised was £3,922 (2023 : £7,549).
Provision for obsolete and slow moving stocks
The Group reviews its stocks to assess loss on account of obsolescence on a regular basis. In determining whether provision for obsolescence should be recorded in the profit and loss account, the Group makes judgments a to whether there is any observable data indicating that there is any future saleability of the product and the estimated net realisable value for such product.
The valuation of stock is deemed to be an area of judgment due to management deciding upon the value
of any provisions againt stock at the year end. Accordingly, provision for impairment is made where the net realisable value is less than the cost based on best estimates by the management. The provision for obsolescence of stock is based on the ageing and historical sales pattern.
At the year end stock had a carrying value of £10,334,464 (2023: 8,622,644). Stock provisions were recognised of £535,061 (2023: £462,829).
Other estimates and judgments
Management of the Group also exercises significant judgment in estimating the useful life of tangible, fixed assets. At the year end, the Group has tangible fixed assets with net book value of £402,846 (2023: £429,838). Should these estimates vary, the profit or loss and balance sheet of the following years could be impacted.
