NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MAY 2025


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the company will continue to be a going concern. The presentational currency of the accounts is the Pound Sterling and amounts are rounded to the nearest Pound. If this assumption is not considered valid, then adjustments would need to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amount, to provide for any further liabilities that might arise and to reclassify fixed assets and long term liabilities as current assets and liabilities.

Turnover
Turnover represents sales of services and is recognised at the point the customer is entitled to consideration and is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2004, has been fully amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 20% on reducing balance

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Provision for depreciation against the carrying value of freehold property is not provided for in these accounts because, in the opinion of the directors, to do so would not show a true and fair view. The directors consider this to be appropriate because the associated costs of maintaining the asset, which are charged to the profit & loss account are more than sufficient to offset any depreciation of the asset, and thus maintain the asset at it's carrying value.

This policy of not depreciating freehold property is a departure from the requirement to depreciate in tangible fixed assets in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. However the directors consider this policy necessary for the overriding principle of showing a true & fair view as set out in s396 of the Companies Act 2006.

2. EMPLOYEES

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2024 - NIL).
