Accounting policies
Company information
WALA UK Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 32 Beaumont Street, Oxford, OX1 2NP.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
- Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures'.
1.2
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and legal title has passed.
1.3
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Land and buildings Leasehold
12 year straight line
Plant and machinery
10% to 33.33% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
1.4
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered a material impairment loss. If a material impairment loss arises then it is recognised in the profit and loss account or against the revaluation reserve if the asset has been revalued.
1.5
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for impairment losses on obsolete and slow moving items. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

1.6
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ’Basic Financial Instruments’ and section 12 ‘Other financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial assets include debtors and cash and bank balances. Debtors and cash and bank balances which are basic financial assets are measured at transaction price less any impairment. Debtors and cash and bank balances in foreign currencies are initially recorded at transaction price and subsequently at fair value less any impairment. Any changes in fair value are recognised in the profit or loss. Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial liabilities includes creditors and debt instruments. Creditors and debt instruments which are basic financial liabilities are measured at transaction price. Creditors and debt instruments in foreign currencies are initially recorded at transaction price and subsequently at fair value. Any changes in fair value are recognised in the profit or loss.
1.7
Employee benefits
The costs 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 employee’s services are received.
1.8
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.9
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the term of them lease.
1.10
Foreign exchange
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to profit and loss account.
2
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.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
