| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Reporting period |
| The accounting period to 31 December 2023 is a nine month period. The comparative amounts presented in the financial statements (included the related notes) are for a twelve month period therefore are not entirely comparable. This was done to bring the financial period in line with that of the parent company. |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have assessed the company’s financial position and, having made appropriate enquiries, consider that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is recognised in accordance with Section 23 of FRS 102. |
| Turnover from the provision of services is recognised in the profit and loss account when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. |
| Where services are provided over a period of time, turnover is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date, provided that the stage of completion and expected recoverability can be measured reliably. |
| In cases where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, turnover is recognised only to the extent that recoverable expenses incurred are expected to be reimbursed. |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and VAT. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Property - 7 Years straight line |
| Plant and Machinery - 3 years straight line |

| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have assessed the company’s financial position and, having made appropriate enquiries, consider that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
| Basic financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the period 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 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 period 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. |

| Foreign currencies |
| Transactions in currencies other than pound sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss. |
| 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. |
| Employee benefits |
| The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of non-current assets. |
| The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. |
| Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. |
| Intercompany recharges |
| Intercompany transactions are recorded at the value agreed between group entities and are recognised in accordance with the substance of the arrangement. |
| Recharges for services or shared resources are recognised as income or expense in the period in which the services are provided. |
| Recharges are calculated based on a percentage of revenue earned from the customer, with the percentage determined by the group to reflect an arm’s length basis. |
| The basis of allocation is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains reasonable, consistent, and reflective of the actual service contribution. |
| Costing Recharges |
| Costing recharges relate to the allocation of direct and indirect costs incurred on behalf of other entities or departments. These are recognised on an accruals basis, reflecting the period in which the underlying costs are incurred. |
| The basis of allocation is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains reasonable and consistent with the nature of the services provided. |

| 10. | PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT |
| During the year, the company made the following prior year adjustments in accordance with FRS 102 Section 10 - Accounting Policies, Estimates and Errors, and Section 10.13-10.15 for retrospective application of changes in accounting policy. |
| 1. Correction of Error - Misapplication of Accounting Policy on Intercompany Recharges |
| An error was identified in the prior year financial statements relating to the inconsistent application of the accounting policy for intercompany recharges. Transactions were not recorded in line with the substance of the arrangements, resulting in: |
| Revenue understated by £526,102 |
| Cost of sales understated by £281,054 |
| Intercompany account understated (liability overstated) by £245,048 |
| This error has been corrected retrospectively, resulting in an increase in net assets and retained earnings of £245,048 as at 31 March 2023. |
| 2. Correction of Error - Recognition of Intercompany Recharges on an Invoice Basis |
| A further error was identified whereby intercompany recharges were recognised on an invoice basis rather than on an accruals basis. This resulted in: |
| For the year ended 31 March 2023: |
| Cost of sales overstated by £77,676 |
| Retained earnings brought forward overstated by £77,676 |
| For periods prior to 31 March 2023: |
| Retained earnings overstated by £55,676 |
| Intercompany account overstated (liability understated) by £55,675 |
| These errors have been corrected retrospectively, resulting in a total reduction in retained earnings brought forward of £133,352 and a corresponding increase in intercompany liabilities of £55,675. |
| 3. Change in Accounting Policy - Recognition of Management Charge |
| The company has changed its accounting policy to recognise a management charge from a group entity. This change has been applied retrospectively in accordance with FRS 102 Section 10.8-10.12, resulting in: |
| Administrative expenses increased by £188,666 |
| Intercompany account overstated (liability understated) by £188,666 |
| This change ensures the financial statements reflect the revised accounting policy consistently across periods. |
| 4. Correction of Error - Reclassification of wages |
| The company incorrect classified wages and salaries as administrative expenses rather than within cost of sales. As a result, a retrospective reclassification adjustment has been made to correct the accounts. |
| For the year ended 31 March 2023: |
| Cost of sales understated by £460,112 |
| Administrative expenses overstated by £460,122 |
| Summary of Impact on Profit or Loss - Year Ended 31 March 2023 |
| The net impact of the above adjustments on the profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2023 is as follows: |
| Increase in revenue: £526,102 |
| Increase in cost of sales: £663,491 |
| Decrease in administrative expenses: £271,446 |
| Net increase in profit before tax: £134,058 |
| Summary of Cumulative Impact on Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023 |
| Net increase in retained earnings / total equity: £707 |
| Net decrease in intercompany liabilities: £707 |
