| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Mayflower House Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| The director believes that the company is experiencing good levels of sales and profitability, and that it is well place to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, she has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| 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 other group entities. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| The key estimates made are as follows: |
| (i) Provisions for liabilities |
| Provisions are made in the accounts for expenses not yet invoiced where it is anticipated that a charge may arise in future years. This is estimated from the total expected cost multiplied by a probability factor. The expected cost comes from the most recent known costs for the same goods or service. The probability factor works on the full costs incurred within the last 12 months and then a sliding scale on any older amounts. |
| The director considers that there are no other critical estimates used in the accounts preparation, as entries are backed up to subsequent supporting transactions. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents net invoiced residential care home fees. Turnover is recognised per night that a room is occupied. Deferred income is recognised when payment is received in advance of the service being provided. |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Plant and machinery - 25% straight line |
| Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line |
| Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance |
| Computer equipment - 25% reducing balance |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
| Impairment of assets |
| At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
| If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
| Debtors |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
| Creditors |
| Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. |
| Taxation |
| Current tax is recognised for the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date, except as otherwise indicated. |
| Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reveal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. If and when all conditions for retaining tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset have been met, the deferred tax is reversed. |
| Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| The tax expense (income) is presented either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity depending on the transaction that result in the tax expense (income). |
| Operating leases |
| Leases that do no transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments 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 |
| Short- term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. |

| Provisions for liabilities |
| Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
| The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
| Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value using a pre-tax discount rate. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises. |
| In particular, in these accounts, provisions have been made for expenses not yet invoiced where it is anticipated that a charge may arise in future years. This is estimated from the total expected cost multiplied by a probability factor. The expected cost comes from the most recent known costs for the same goods or service. The probability factor works on the full costs incurred within the last 12 months and then a sliding scale on any older amounts. |
| Grant income |
| Income received in relation to grants are classified either as relating to revenue or to assets. |
| Grants relating to revenue are recognised in other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Where a timing difference arises, the income is held on the balance sheet. When received in arrears the expected income is recognises as a debtor so long as the relevant conditions have been satisfied. When received in advance of costs, the income is held as deferred income and systematically released to the profit and loss in the periods the cost is incurred. |
| Grants relating to assets are recognised initially as deferred income and released to other income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. |
