Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Handiworld Limited is a private company,  limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 05146860 . The registered office is Salisbury House, London Wall, London, EC2M 5PS.
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. Going Concern Disclosure
The directors believe that notwithstanding net current liabilities of £203,882 and net liabilities of £191,271, the company's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. 
As detailed in the Post Balance Sheet Events note, since the balance sheet date, the company has repaid loans of £107,600 and agreed new terms for the remaining loans. 
Based on budgets prepared by the directors, the directors consider that the company will have adequate future sources of funding and ongoing support from current investors to meet the company's needs for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may arise from any significant changes in the assumptions used in preparing the forecasts.
2.3. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
2.4. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Intellectual Property
Intellectual property assets are the costs of patents. These are amortised to the profit and loss account over their estimated economic life  of 10 or 20 years.
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.  Depreciation  is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 3 years straight line
2.6. Stocks and Work in Progress
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 stocks.   Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 
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
Income tax expense represents the tax currently payable.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Current tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss.
