for the Period Ended 31 May 2025

## 1. Accounting policies

## Tangible fixed assets and depreciation policy

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Land and buildings leasehold – 15% straight line, Plant & Machinery – 15% straight line, Fixtures, fittings & equipment – 15% straight line.

## Intangible fixed assets and amortisation policy

Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Website development – 33.33% straight line.

## Valuation and information policy

Stocks and work in progress are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less estimated costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

## Other accounting policies

Finance leases and hire purchase contracts. Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease. Any initial directs costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each accounting period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Deferred taxation – deferred taxation is provided at appropriate rates on all timing differences using the liability methos only to the extent that, in the opinion of the directors, there is a reasonable probability that a liability or asset will crystallise in the foreseeable future.
