Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of Value Added Tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
Revenue from the sale of goods and provision of services is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred, or to be incurred, in respect of the transactionscan be measured reliably.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate on the date when the fair value is re-measured.
Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current Corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when 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 reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks and licences acquired are identified where there is an expectation that he cost of acquisition will generate future economic benefits which exceed one year are recognised as an intangible asset. Useful economic life has been assessed as the term of agreement under which royalties are payable in respect of the underlying intellectual property.
Internally generated development costs are identified where there is an expectation that these costs can be reliably measured and will generate future probable economic benefits which exceed one year are recognised as an intangible asset

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
|
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
|
Development costs |
Over 3 years |
|
Patents, trademarks & intellectual property rights |
Over 6 years |
Tangible assets
Land and buildings held and used in the company's own activities for the production and supply of goods and services and for administrative purposes are stated in the Balance Sheet at their revalued amounts. The revalued amounts equate to the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation or impairment losses. Revaluations are carried out regularly so that carrying amounts do not materially differ from their fair value at the Balance Sheet date.
Any revaluation increase or decrease on land and buildings is credited to the revaluation reserve included in reserves.
Other tangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Land and buildings |
2% straight line per annum |
|
Furniture, fittings and equipment |
15% reducing balance per annum |
|
Motor vehicles |
25% reducing balance per annum |
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
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 goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors and other receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment 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.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.
Trade creditors and other payables are recognised at the original transaction price.
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 as interest payable 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.
Non-interest bearing borrowings are recorded at fair value net of transaction costs and are are recognised at their original transaction cost.of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
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, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments.
Dividends
Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation
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.
