1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Aubin & Wills Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as management are confident the company has sufficient financial resources to continue trading in the foreseeable future. The balance sheet reports a Net Current Assets position of £2.55m at 31st January 2025 which indicates the company can meet its short term liabilities. The company is supported by a long term loan debt and has access to additional loan funding should it be required. The business has grown significantly since its launch in 2021. Management are forecasting a profit in the financial year ended 31st January 2026 and a significant increase in profits from financial year 2026 onwards.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements, management has exercised judgement in determining whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in its retail arrangements.

This assessment considers the indicators set out in FRS 102 Section 23, including primary responsibility for fulfilment, inventory and return risk, pricing discretion, and credit exposure.

Based on the terms of the Company’s retail agreements, management has concluded that the Company acts as principal, as it retains ownership and inventory risk up to the point of sale, bears the risk associated with returns, and pays a fixed commission to the intermediary retailer.

This judgement directly affects the presentation of revenue in the financial statements. As a result, revenue is recognised at the gross sales value to the end customer, with the intermediary’s commission recognised as cost of sales.

Management reviews this judgement regularly to ensure it remains appropriate in light of any changes to commercial arrangements.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

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.

Trademarks are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years.

Website is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Short leasehold

-

Straight line over 3 to 5 years

Fixtures and fittings

-

Stocks

Stocks are stated 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 stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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.

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.
