| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the year ended 31 October 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| J R Firby Ltd is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The company has a net asset position and a healthy bank position and the directors are satisfied that there are sufficient resources in place to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates. |
| Critical judgements in applying the company's policies |
| No significant judgements have had to made by management in preparing these financial statements. |
| Critical accounting estimates and assumptions |
| An impairment review is performed on wholegood inventories at each year end by the Directors and impairment losses are estimated and recognised based on condition, obsolescence and current selling prices. |
| The directors do not consider that any other of the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these financial statements have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. |
| Revenue |
| Revenue represents goods and services supplied, excluding value added tax. Revenue is recognised to the extent that the company has obtained the right to consideration through its performance and is measured at the fair value of the right to consideration, excluding discounts and value added tax. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets, which relate to BPS entitlement, are valued at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment. Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis in line with income arising. |

| Inventories |
| Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell having due regard to any slow moving or obsolete items. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 statement of financial position date. |
| Deferred taxation |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss 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. |
| The company also makes contributions to the personal pension scheme of two directors and contributions payable are charged in the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |

| Financial instruments |
| The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade, other accounts receivable and payable and loans from related parties. |
| Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. |
| Debt instruments such as loans and other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised costs using the effective interest method. |
