The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration receivable for goods provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade and settlement discounts.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost net of any depreciation or impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual  value of each asset over its estimated useful life as follows:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment - 25% straight line
Website costs - 25% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to  the profit and loss.

Stock
Stock is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price lest costs to sell. Cost 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.

Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within current liabilities.

Basic financial assets
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 receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities
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 the 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 business 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 carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Included within other debtors is £289,469 (30/12/23: £133,630) owed by the director.
