| 1. | Statutory information |
| Elementar UK Limited is a |
| 2. | Statement of compliance |
| 3. | Accounting policies |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| In assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, the Directors have considered the liquidity position and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the foreseeable future. The company has adequate financial resources and as a consequence, the Directors believe that the company is well places to managed its business risks successfully and meet its liabilities as they fall due. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern concept. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates that affect amounts recognised for assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Actual outcomes may differ from these judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities of the company are discussed below. |
| Determination of the stock provision - A provision is calculated using specific percentages referenced to the age of stock and review of stock items against net realisable value. The policy adopted by the company is consistent with other group members. A provision of £650,881 (2023 - £413,664) has been recognised against stock. |
| Determination of bad debt provision - A specific provision is calculated by reference to the period over which the outstanding invoice is overdue. The policy adapted by the company is consistent with the other group members. A provision of £49,197 (2023 - £254,847) has been recognised against trade debtors and a provision of £1,726,482 (2023 - £1,553,658) has been recognised against group debtors. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Revenue related to the sale of the products is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership of the product is transferred to he customer. |
| Revenue relating to the installation of the product is recognised on a service provided basis. |
| Revenue from sales of extended warranties is recognised over the life of the warranty. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
| Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: |
| Leasehold property - 7-10 years straight line |
| Demo lab assets - 3-7 years straight line |
| Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line |
| Equipment - 3-7 years straight line |

| Stocks |
| Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. Stock is accounted for using average cost methodology. |
| Financial instruments |
| The company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
| (i) Financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, amounts due from fellow group companies and cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. |
| There are no assets which are initially measured at fair value. |
| (ii) Financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and amounts due to fellow group companies that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| 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 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 balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| 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. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| 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. |
