PETER PRESS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01022165)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Peter Press Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 01022165 and the registered office is 1st Floor Chilworth Point, Chilworth Road, Southampton, England, SO16 7JQ.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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.

The presentation currency is £ sterling.

Going concern
The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably expected changes in future performance, show that it should be able to operate within its available funds. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the amounts reports for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Impairment of assets
Management use their judgement to determine if there are any indicators of impairment.


Other key sources of estimation uncertainty;

Pension assumptions



The calculation of the pension liability is determined using actuarial assumptions. The actuarial
valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, mortality rates and future pension
increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and the long term nature
of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.

Turnover
Turnover represents net sales during the year (excluding Value Added Tax) adjusted for accrued and deferred income where applicable.

All turnover arises in the United Kingdom.

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
All tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible fixed assets initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life as follows:

Plant and machinery25% reducing balance
Office equipment10% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings10% reducing balance
Motor vehicles25% straight line

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

Tangible fixed assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

Stock and work in progress
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into account taxation deferred.

Current tax is measured at amounts expected to be paid using tax rates and laws that been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more, tax with the following exception:

- deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company accounts for its defined benefit pension scheme in accordance with FRS102.

The pension scheme liabilities are measured using a projected units method. The pension scheme deficit/surplus is recognised in full and disclosed on the face of the balance sheet. The movement in the scheme deficit/surplus is split between operating profit and finance costs/finance income in the income statement and the statement of other comprehensive income.

Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Other investments
Other investments are initially accounted for at cost and reviewed annually for impairment.

Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit and loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and liabilities of the kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
