| NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS | ||||||||||
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 | ||||||||||
| 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| 1a. General Information & Basis of Accounting | ||||||||
| The company is limited by shares and incorporated in Scotland. The address of the registered office is given in the company information on page 1 of these financial statements. | ||||||||
| The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 including Section 1A Small Entities, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. There were no material departures from that standard. | ||||||||
| The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and are rounded to the nearest £1. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise shown. | ||||||||
| 1b. Turnover | ||||||||
| Turnover represents the amounts receivable arising from the supply of goods net of VAT and trade discounts. | ||||||||
| Turnover is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. | ||||||||
| Turnover is recognised as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, net of VAT and trade discounts. | ||||||||
| 1c. Tangible Fixed Assets | ||||||||
| Depreciation has been provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: | ||||||||
| Equipment | straight line20% | |||||||
| Motor Cars | reducing balance25% | |||||||
| 1d. Stocks | ||||||||
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell (net realisable value). Costs, which comprise direct production costs, are based on the method most appropriate to the type of inventory class, but usually on a first-in first-out basis. Overheads are charged to profit or loss as incurred. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price less any estimated completion or selling costs. | ||||||||
| The Curious Gem Limited | ||||||||
| 1e. Cash And Cash Equivalents | ||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial instruments which include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. | ||||||||
| 1f. Financial Instruments | ||||||||
| Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. | ||||||||
| Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. | ||||||||
| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. | ||||||||
| 1g. Taxation | ||||||||
| Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. | ||||||||
| Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that 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 balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued, non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. | ||||||||
| The Curious Gem Limited | ||||||||
| 1h. Employee Benefits | ||||||||
| When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. | ||||||||
| 1i. Pension Costs | ||||||||
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year. | ||||||||
| 1j. Foreign Currency | ||||||||
| Transactions in currencies, other than the functional currency of the company, are recorded at the rate of the exchange on the date the transaction occurred. Monetary items denominated in other currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account. Non-monetary items that are measured at the historic cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. | ||||||||
| 1k. Leases and Hire Purchase Agreements | ||||||||
| Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors. | ||||||||
| Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. | ||||||||
| 1l. Critical Accounting Estimates And Judgements | ||||||||
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. | ||||||||
| The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. | ||||||||
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. | ||||||||
