The Board acknowledges that the Covid-19 Pandemic and Brexit have had an impact on company trading. The Directors have considered the ongoing disruption to the economy and the consequential uncertainty and accordingly, the generation of sufficient operating cash flows will remain a risk.true

The Directors have formed a judgement that, as at the date of approving the financial statements, there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in existence for at least the next twelve-month period. In making this assessment, the Board has considered the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash and current asset investments to enable it to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment.

Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales made during the year and derives from the provision of goods falling within the company's ordinary activities.

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 5 years from the date the asset is brought into use.

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner indented by management.

The company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when the cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of the assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Income Statement.

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowances for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

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 have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 the 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 differences.

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.

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Grants are recognised against the expenditure to which they relate. Where government grants relate to capital expenditure, they are written off over the life of the asset.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date.

Current asset investments

Current asset investments are shown at their market value at the balance sheet date.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The estimates and assumptions which have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

The annual depreciation charge depends primarily on the estimated useful life of the asset and circumstances.

The directors annually review the asset life and adjust as necessary to reflect current thinking on the remaining life in light of technological change, prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the asset concerned.

Change in asset lives can have a significant impact on depreciation charges for the period. It is not practical to quantify the impact on changes to asset lives on an overall basis, as asset lives are individually determined.
