DB Engineering (Dorset) Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
1
Statutory information
DB Engineering (Dorset) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales, registration number 6871111. The registered office is 23a Dawkins Road, Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset, BH15 4JY.
2
Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
3
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Presentation currency
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
Turnover
Turnover represents the VAT-exclusive value of goods and services provided to customers.
Tangible fixed assets policy
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Land & buildings
8 years straight line basis
Plant & machinery
10% annual reducing basis
Motor vehicles
25% annual reducing balance basis
Computer equipment
3 years straight line basis
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are amortised at rates calculated to write off the assets on a straight basis over their estimated useful economic lives. Impairment of intangible fixed assets is only reviewed where circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable.
Stocks
Stocks and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost includes all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws.
Leased assets
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the lease term. Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease at a constant proportion of the outstanding balance of capital repayments.
