| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 31 October 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Appletree Joinery Products Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| There were no material departures from that standard. |
| The principle accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts. |
| 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 is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Income recognition |
| Income is recognised when a contract for the sale of goods is determined as unconditional. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks 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 is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
| Financial instruments |
| Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost with changes recognised in profit or loss. |
| 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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. |
| 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 or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| 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. |
| Grants receivable |
| Revenue based grants are credited to the profit and loss account. Capital based grants are credited to the profit and loss account, in equal instalments, over the estimated useful life of the related asset. |
| Invoice discounting |
| The company utilises an invoice discounting facility. There is full recourse to the company for losses on debts, and so the financed debts continue to be recognised on the balance sheet. Interest and other charges relating to invoice discounting are recognised in the profit and loss account over the relevant period. |
