| Registered office: | 1 Kings Avenue

| Winchmore Hill

2. | 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 as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors are satisfied that the company will have adequate resources to meet its liabilities to third parties as they fall due.

| Significant judgements and estimates

| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

| There are no significant judgements or estimates involved in the preparation of the financial statements.

| Revenue

| Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax.

| Property, plant and equipment

| Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes costs directly attributable to making the assets capable of operating as intended.

| The carrying value of tangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

| Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives.

| Freehold property - 1% on cost

| Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance.

| Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance.

| The company has adopted the policy of not depreciating the assets in the year of acquisition and full year charge will be provided in the period of disposal.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Investment property

| Investment properties, are properties held to earn rentals, are initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure.

| Subsequently they are measured at fair value at the reporting date. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

| Deferred tax is provided on these gains at the rate expected to apply if the property is sold at the balance sheet date.

| Inventories

| Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of inventory sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| 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 future taxable profits.

| Operating lease receivables

| Rentals receivable under operating leases are accounted for on a straight line basis over the period of the leases and are included in ''other operating income''.

| Cash and cash equivalents

| Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of one month. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

| Financial instruments

| Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in profit or loss.

| Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 4 (2024 - 4 ) .
