| Notes to the Accounts |
| for the year ended 31 October 2024 |
|
|
| 1 |
Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard). |
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover arises from the sale of goods and is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, and is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. |
|
|
Fixed assets |
|
Fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses in respect of intangibles. Depreciation / amortisation is provided on all fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: |
|
|
Intangible asset |
20% straight line |
|
Plant and machinery |
25% reducing balance |
|
Motor vehicles |
25% reducing balance |
|
|
Stocks |
|
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is also recognised. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the accounts and their inclusion in tax assessments. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
|
|
Leased assets |
|
All leases are classified as operating leases where the lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
|
|
Pensions |
|
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate. |
