|
|
|
Sale of goods
|
|
| Sales of goods are recognised when the company has delivered the goods to the customer, no other significant obligation remains unfulfilled that may affect the customer's acceptance of the products and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. |

Intangible fixed assets
|
|
Intangible fixed assets (including purchased goodwill and patents) are included at cost less accumulated amortisation.
Asset class and depreciation rate:
Computer Software 20% reducing balance |
|
|
Property, plant and equipment
|
|
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Part of an item of property, plant and equipment having different useful lives are accounted for as separate items.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
| | Asset class and depreciation rate | | Land and Buildings | | | Plant and Machinery | 25% straight line | | Short Leasehold Properties | | | Investment Properties | | | Long Leasehold Properties | | | Commercial Vehicles | | | Fixtures and Fittings | 25% reducing balance | | Equipment | 25% reducing balance | | Motor Cars | |
|
|
Financial instruments
|
|
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, and loans and borrowings.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. |
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
|
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. The cash and cash equivalents are stated at their nominal values, as this approximates to amortised cost. |
|
|
Inventories
|
|
| Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a first-in-first-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs necessary to make the sale. |
|
|
Taxation
|
|
| Taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. |
|
|
|
Current Tax
|
|
| The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the income statement because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |

(6) Change in reporting period and impact on comparability
|
In the previous financial year, the company changed its year-end from 30 September 2024 to 31 March 2024. As a result of this change, the prior year financial statements presented covered a shorter reporting period of 6 months from 1 October 2023 to 31 March 2024 compared to the current year which covers 12 months from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.
Impact on Comparability
The change in the reporting period impacts the comparability of the financial statements. Consequently, the financial information for the current period is not directly comparable to that of the prior period, as the durations covered differ. |
