| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the group will continue its operations for the foreseeable future. This assessment is based on detailed forecasts prepared by management and reviewed by the group's principal lender. These forecasts demonstrate that the group is expected to maintain sufficient working capital and cash flow to meet its obligations as they fall due over the 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, including servicing debt, funding operations, and meeting commitments to employees and suppliers. |
| The group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on maintaining adequate headroom within its invoice financing facility and the continued support of suppliers. The directors are continuing to address the position, working closely with the group's stakeholders to ensure that this position continues to be maintained. |
| 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 is recognised as the company becomes entitled to consideration for the goods supplied. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| 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. |
| Foreign currencies |
| 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 of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
