|
Accounting policies |
Statement of compliance
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' Section 1A and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except any items disclosed in the accounting policies as being shown at fair value and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Group accounts not prepared
Going concern
The company made a profit for the year ended 31 March 2025 and had net assets at that date of £105,689. The company has continued to trade profitably subsequent to the year end.
On the basis of the above, and after making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of vehicles and the provision of services in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax.
Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, usually on delivery of the vehicle, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
The company recognises revenue for the provision of management and finance consultancy over the period to which the services relate.
The company recognises turnover in respect of finance income for vehicles sold under finance leases over the period of the contract reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in finance leases.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Motor vehicles |
33% straight line |
|
Fixtures and fittings |
33% straight line |
Investments
Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the income statement over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Finance leases and hire purchase agreements
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance on the liability.
Assets sold subject to Finance lease are recognised in the statement of financial position based upon the net investment in the leases based upon the minimum future lease payments receivable together with any unguaranteed residual value.
Lease receipts are applied against the gross investment to reduce both the principal and unearned finance income. Finance income is allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the asset.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Transactions with directors |
At 31 March 2025 amounts totalling £157,022 (2024 restated: £131,046) were due from the directors. Advances of £247,895 and repayments of £225,000 were made during the period. Interest has been charged at 2.25% per annum amounting to £3,081 (2024: £4,481) and there are no agreed terms in place.
|
Prior period adjustment |
During the year the directors identified that certain business expenses had incorrectly been recognised as personal expenses on behalf of the directors. This has been corrected in these financial statements and the comparatives have been restated.
The effect of these corrections is to decrease the profit for the year ended 31 March 2024 by £7,299, decrease other debtors at that date by £93,421, and decrease the retained earnings at that date by £93,421 from those figures previously stated.
