Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Worthers Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 07070760 . The registered office is Breathe House Kenn Road, Kenn, Clevedon, North Somerset, BS21 6TJ.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£)
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover represents the revenue generated from the sale of services. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable excluding value added tax.
Revenue from services is recognised when services have been provided and the contractual right to the consideration has been earned. For incomplete contracts an assessment is made of the extent to which revenue has been earned.
2.3. Research and Development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses
Depreciation is provided at following annual rates in order to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures & Fittings 25% on cost
Computer Equipment 25% on cost
2.5. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter with a full charge on the year of acquisition.
The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
2.6. Financial Instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of contractual arrangements, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.

Page 5
2.7. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.8. Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income.
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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by 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.
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.
2.9. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.10. Government Grant
Government grants are recognised in the profit and loss account in an appropriate manner that matches them with the expenditure towards which they are intended to contribute.
Grants for immediate financial support or to cover costs already incurred are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. Grants towards general activities of the entity over a specific period are recognised in the profit and loss account over that period.
All grants in the profit and loss account are recognised when all conditions for receipt have been complied with.
2.11. Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost lest impairments in accordance with Sections 612 and 615 Companies Act 2006.
2.12. Registrar Filing Requirements
The company has taken advantage of Companies Act 2006 section 444(1) and opted not to file the profit and loss account, directors report, and notes to the financial statements relating to the profit and loss account.
