3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary of significant accounting policies
The principle accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation
The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention and comply with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards and Companies Act 2006.

Going Concern
No material uncertainties, that may cast doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the directors and they therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Revenue recognition
Revenue (described as turnover) is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax.

Income is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them.

Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in 2013 has been fully amortised.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets

Freehold property - 2% on cost
Improvements to property - 5% on cost
Plant and machinery - 15% on cost

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost includes all costs of purchase and also other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Stocks are accounted for using the first-in, first-out basis.

Financial instruments
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, trade creditors, bank loans and directors' current accounts and loans.

Bank loans and directors loans are initially measured at the present value of future payments, discounted at a market rate of interest and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Directors current balances (being those repayable on demand), trade debtors, other debtors and creditors are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment.If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income 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
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 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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates money purchase pension schemes. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the profit and loss account.

4. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 61 (2023 - 53 ) .
