| 1 | GENERAL INFORMATION | ||||||||||
| J Whittington Logistics Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is: | |||||||||||
| 7 Cornfield Close | |||||||||||
| Witney | |||||||||||

| OX28 5BU | |||||||||||
| 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||||||||
| Basis of preparation of financial statements | |||||||||||
| Revenue recognition | |||||||||||
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. It is recognised in respect of rail consultancy services as soon as there is a right to consideration and is determined by reference to the value of the work performed. Turnover is stated net of trade discounts and value added tax. | |||||||||||
| The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. | |||||||||||
| Tangible fixed assets | |||||||||||
| Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. | |||||||||||
| Depreciation has been provided at the following rates so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less residual value of the assets over their estimated useful lives. | |||||||||||
| Furniture, fittings, tools and equipment | |||||||||||
| Computer equipment | |||||||||||
| On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in the profit and loss account, and included within administrative expenses. | |||||||||||

| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 | |||||||||||
| 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
| Investments | |||||||||||
| Investments in associates are shown at cost less accumulated impairment losses. | |||||||||||
| Investments in partnerships are shown at cost and updated annually to reflect undrawn profits or losses earned within the respective partnerships. |
|||||||||||
| Financial Instruments | |||||||||||
| Financial assets are measured at cost and are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. Where objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. |
|||||||||||
| The impairment loss for financial assets measured at cost is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. |
|||||||||||
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
|||||||||||
| Impairment of non-financial assets | |||||||||||
| At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets (which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
| If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset, or group of related assets, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset, or group of related assets, in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
| Debtors | |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. | |||||||||||

| 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
| Creditors | |||||||||||
| Taxation | |||||||||||
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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 taxable profits. | |||||||||||
| Deferred tax is measured using 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. | |||||||||||
| 3 | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS | ||||||||||
| The directors have made key assumptions in determining the carrying value of the company's investments when undertaking an impairment review. | |||||||||||
