| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the year ended 31 August 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Brandt Computer Systems Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes, Turnover represents rental income and is recognised on a monthly basis as amounts are invoiced and paid. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. |
| Depreciation on all assets is calculated to allocate the depreciable amount to their residual values on a systematic basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: |
| Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost |
| Motor vehicles - 25% on cost |
| Computer equipment - 33% on cost |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| 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. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation expense for the period 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 when it is recognised in those statements respectively. Current or deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax |
| Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years and is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end. |
| Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax arises from the timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date. Deferred tax is measured using rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Share capital |
| Ordinary shares are classed as equity. |
