NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the Year Ended 31st December 2024


1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Bolton Car Centre Limited is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act. The address of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the directors report. The principal activity and nature of its operations are set out in the strategic report.

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.

In the following accounting policies any references to the profit and loss account refers to the Statement of Comprehensive Income prior to the inclusion of other comprehensive income.

Going concern
The director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for this reason he continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual 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.

Turnover
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised in the profit and loss account, net of discounts, 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 service has been completed. Turnover from services rendered is recognised in the profit and loss account in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by surveys of work performed or by reference to time expended on services that are charged on labour rate basis.

Incentives received from manufacturers in respect of target achievements are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period to which the target was achieved.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Where parts of an item of tangible fixed assets have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of tangible fixed assets, for example land is treated separately from buildings.

The company assesses at each reporting date whether tangible fixed assets are impaired.

Depreciation is charged to the profit or loss account so as to write off each asset over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of tangible fixed assets. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Land is not depreciated. The following rates are used:

Short leasehold improvements6.89% Straight line
Plant and machinery 33% Reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings 33% Reducing balance

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since the last annual reporting date.

Residual value is based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition or subsequent valuation. Where, because of high estimated residual value, depreciation is immaterial, no depreciation is charged but an annual review for impairment is performed. Both residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year end.

The carrying amounts of the company's assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the fixed asset may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

Stocks
Stock is stated at the lower of cost and selling price less selling costs.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

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.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand. Any bank overdrafts are shown within current liabilities.

Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

3. SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

In the application of the Company's accounting policies above, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

4. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 25 (2023 - 25 ) .

5. (LOSS)/PROFIT BEFORE TAXATION
