Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
1. | Statutory information |
Kent Modular Electronics Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | Accounting policies |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going Concern |
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. This basis is considered appropriate by the directors. |
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the value of the balance sheet which would result should the going concern basis not be valid. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Kent Modular Electronics Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
Key source of estimation, uncertainty and judgement |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practice requires management to make estimates and judgement that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. |
There is estimation uncertainty in calculating amortisation of intangible assets. The directors undertake a detailed review of development costs that are capitalised on a project by project basis. Whilst every attempt is made by the directors to ensure that the amortisation policy is as accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the policy does not match the useful life of the assets concerned. |
There is estimation uncertainty in calculating depreciation. A full line by line review of fixed assets is carried out by management regularly. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the depreciation policy is as accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the policy does not match the useful life of the assets. |
There is estimation uncertainty in calculating deferred tax. A full line by line review of deferred tax is carried out by management regularly. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the deferred tax is as accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the provisions do not match the actual tax liability. |
There is estimation uncertainty in calculating bad debt provisions. A full line by line review of trade debtors is carried out at the end of each month. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the bad debt provisions are as accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the provisions do not match the level of debts which ultimately prove to be uncollectable. |
There is estimation uncertainty in calculating stock provisions. Management review stock provisions on a regular basis to ensure that the stock provisions accurately reflect obsolescence and other potential causes of impairment. |
Turnover |
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts received or receivable for orders completed during the year exclusive of discounts and Value Added Tax. |

Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
Stocks |
Stock and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Cost in the case of manufactured goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and labour costs and overhead expenses attributable to manufacture. |
Financial instruments |
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due. |
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and bank overdrafts. |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue 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 have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
The company is a beneficiary of Research & Development (R&D) tax relief in the form of reductions in its annual tax liability, as well as repayable tax credits. Current tax assets of reductions in current tax liabilities for R&D claims are only recognised when the amount can be reliably determined and the probability of HM Revenue & Customs accepting the claim is considered high. |
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. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Rentals paid and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are measured at cost. Cost represents development expenditure capitalised during the period. The directors make an assessment of the following in deciding amounts to be capitalised: |
(a) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; |
(b) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; |
(c) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset; |
(d) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the entity can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; |
(e) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; |
(f) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. |
After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Development costs are being amortised in accordance with the expected sale of units. |
Amortisation begins when the intangible asset is available for use, ie when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be usable in the manner intended by management. Amortisation ceases when the asset is derecognised. The director choose an amortisation method that reflects the pattern in which it expects to consume the asset's future economic benefits. If the entity cannot determine that pattern reliably, it shall use the straight-line method. |
