Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (£), which is also the functional currency of the company.

Revenue recognition

Revenue (described as Turnover) is the amount receivable for goods supplied or services rendered, net of returns, discounts and value added tax. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable and is recognised at the point the goods are accepted by the customer.

Tax

Tax on profit represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the profit as reported in the profit and loss account 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 liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)

2

Accounting policies (continued)

Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used to compute taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available to utilise the timing difference.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply in the period the liability is settled or the asset realised. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences in which the company expects to recover or settle the underlying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are measured under the cost model and are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as below:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Plant and Machinery

Straight line over 5 years

Fixtures and fittings

Straight line over 10 years

Motor vehicles

20% reducing balance

Investments

Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

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.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Accounting policies (continued)

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Costs are determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost includes the purchase price, including any taxes, duties, transport, and handling directly attributable to bringing the stock to its present location and condition. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price less any estimated selling costs.

When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.

At the end of each reporting period stocks are assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, the identified stock item is reduced to its selling price less costs to sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the profit and loss account. Where a reversal of the impairment is required the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the profit and loss account.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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 profit and loss account 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.

Operating lease commitments

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to profit and loss account on a straight line basis.

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.

Accounting policies (continued)

Pension costs

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.

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 12 (2024 - 17).
