| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Summary of significant accounting policies |
| (a) General information and basis of preparation |
| R E & R Duffield and Co Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England. The address of the registered office is Green Lane, Melmerby, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4 5JB. |
| The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (Section 1A) The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £. |
| The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
| (b) Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
| Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: |
| Leasehold land and buildings | straight line over 50 years. |
| Plant and machinery | straight line over 10 and 20 years, reducing balance over 10 years. |
| Office fixtures and fittings | reducing balance over 7 years. |
| Motor vehicles | straight line over 7 years and reducing balance over 4 years. |
| Office equipment | straight line over 3 years. |
| Leasehold buildings were valued using at their open market value at the FRS 102 transition date of 1 April 2014. |
| (c) Intangible Assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Website development costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of three years. |
| (d) Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Work-in-progress and machined stock held for sale includes an appropriate proportion of overheads. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
| For The Year Ended 31st March 2025 |
| (e) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. |
| (f) Loans and borrowings |
| Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value. |
| (g) Impairment |
| Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
| (h) Provisions |
| Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. |
| (i) Leases |
| Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful life of the asset. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors. |
| Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| (j) Tax |
| Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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. |
| Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. |

| For The Year Ended 31st March 2025 |
| (k) Turnover and other income |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows: |
| Sale of goods |
| Turnover from the sale of timber and timber products is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on dispatch of the goods. |
| FIT Income |
| Income from FIT is recognised as the company's right to receive payment is established. |
| Interest and dividends receivable |
| Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the company's right to receive payment is established. |
| (l) Foreign currency |
| Foreign currency transactions are initially recognised by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. |
| Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at the balance sheet date are translated using the closing rate. |
| (m) Employee benefits |
| When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. |
| The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. |
