Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


The principal activity of the company continued to be that of Mechanical and Electrical building services engineering consultancy.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.

TURNOVER
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts.

INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS - GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of unincorporated businesses over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is considered to have a finite useful life and is amortised on a systematic basis over its expected life, which is 10 years.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

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 provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings25% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment25% on reducing balance

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.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company only enters into basic financial transactions that result in recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from bank and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
TAXATION
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

CURRENT TAX
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed.

LEASES
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease s asset are consumed.

PENSION
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN
The Company operates a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. A defined contribution pension plan is a plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the company are held separately from the Company in an independently administered fund.

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.

When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance sheet.

GOING CONCERN
At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 3 (2023 - 3 ) .
