Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Dawson Design Associates Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

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


The principal activity of the company was that of interior design.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTING CONVENTION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Website development costs 10% SLM

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 recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment25% Reducing Balance
Computer equipment25% 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.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

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

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

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 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.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 2 (2023 - 4 ) .
