Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial statements. |
|
|
|
Statement of compliance |
|
The financial statements of the company for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A (Small Entities) and the Companies Act 2006. |
|
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. |
|
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover comprises the invoice value of goods supplied by the company, exclusive of trade discounts and value added tax. |
|
|
|
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation |
|
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: |
|
|

|
Plant and machinery |
- |
10% Straight line |
| |
|
Fixtures, fittings and equipment |
- |
10% Straight line |
| |
|
Motor vehicles |
- |
10% Straight line |
|
|
|
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
|
|
|
Borrowing costs |
|
Borrowing costs relating to the acquisition of assets are capitalised at the appropriate rate by adding them to the cost of assets being acquired. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on the assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. |
|
|
|
Employee benefits |
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The company also operates a defined benefit pension scheme for its employees providing benefits based on final pensionable pay. The assets of this scheme are also held separately from those of the company, being invested with pension fund managers. |
|
|
|
Taxation |
|
Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the financial year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date. |
|
|
|
Foreign currencies |
|
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the Statement of Financial Position date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The resulting exchange differences are dealt with in the Income Statement. |
|
|
|
Ordinary share capital |
|
The ordinary share capital of the company is presented as equity. |
