Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 31 October 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Empire Decorators Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

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.

| Significant judgements and estimates

| The preparation of financial information in compliance with FRS 102 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

| The directors have identified the following areas which give rise to estimation uncertainty:

| 1) Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and any residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation and maintenance programmes are taken into account.

| 2) Valuation of stocks uses estimations for provisions against old and obsolete items of stock.

| 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 and in any future periods affected.

| Turnover

| Turnover is derived from the provision of painting and decorating services excluding VAT.

| Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding value added tax and any other sales taxes The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

| Sale of goods

| Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

| - the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;

| - the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

| - the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

| - it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the transaction;

| - the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

| Rendering of services

| Revenue from agreement to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

| - the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

| - it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the agreement.

| Tangible fixed assets

| The company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed asset the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the

| company. Any carrying amount of the replaced part is written off. Repairs and maintenance are charged to

| the profit and loss during the year in which they are incurred except for any parts unused at the year end.

| Asset residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods of relevant assets are reviewed, and adjusted

| prospectively if appropriate. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with

| the carrying amount and recognised in the profit and loss during the year of disposal.

| At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

| If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carry amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

| Stocks

| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

| At each reporting date, inventories are assessed for impairment. If inventory is 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.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| 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 balance sheet date.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments

| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

| Financial instruments

| The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, trade creditors, bank loans, directors' loans and forward currency contracts (derivatives).

| Bank loans are initially measured at the present value of future payments, discounted at a market rate of interest, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Directors' loans (being repayable on demand), trade debtors and trade creditors are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. Forward currency contracts are derivative financial instruments. They are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

| Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss.

| Other items

| Finance costs

| Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

| Dividends

| Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. Dividends on shares recognised as liabilities are recognised as expenses and classified within interest payable.

| Holiday pay

| A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which has accrued at the balance sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the balance sheet date.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 5 (2024 - 5 ) .
