Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Moo Free Ltd (registered number:
|
Mrs AK Jessop
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Moo Free Ltd (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office and principal place of business is 3 Kingfisher Units, River Tamar Way, Holsworthy, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The directors have assessed the status of the company and have concluded that the company is a going concern. During the year, the directors undertook a refinancing exercise with the overall aim to relieve cash pressures in the summer months when trade is at it lowest due to the seasonality of the business. The directors have prepared budgets and cashflow forecasts which indicate that the company has sufficient headroom in the available facilities for 12 months from the date of signing the accounts to meet working capital requirements. As a result, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the Company does not hold any effective control over the goods sold. Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and legal title is passed.
Defined contribution schemes
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest.
The fair value of share options is measured using the Black-Scholes model on the grounds there are no market relating vesting conditions.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Assets held under finance leases, hire purchase contracts and other similar arrangements, which confer rights and obligations similar to those attached to owned assets, are capitalised as tangible fixed assets at the fair value of the leased asset (or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments as determined at the inception of the lease) and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their useful lives. The capital elements of future lease obligations are recorded as liabilities, while the interest elements are charged to the Profit and Loss Account over the period of the leases to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Balance Sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account as described below.
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 stocks 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.
Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:
•Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
•Bank loans; and
•Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Except for bank loans, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Bank loans are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Government grants consist of income provided for the company's relocation and investment in factories and capital equipment. The company has elected to account for such grants under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised within profit or loss in the same period as the related expenditure.
