number 07549964.
Registered address:

1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A of Financial
Reporting Standard 102 ''The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'' and the
Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical costs convention as
modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
These financial statements have been prepared for the period from 1st November 2023 to 28th October 2024, a
period shorter than one year. The directors took this decision due to the change of ownership of the company on
29th October 2024. As a result, the comparative amounts presented in the financial statements are not entirely
comparable.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption not to prepare consolidated accounts as the company, and the
group headed by it, qualifies as small under section 383 of the Companies Act. The financial statements present
information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.
