COOPER BUCKLEY LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00801906)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Cooper Buckley Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 00801906 and the company's registered office is Third Avenue, Crewe Gates Industrial Estate, Crewe, Cheshire, CW1 6XU. The company's principal activity is road haulage.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

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

| The results are presented for the company as a single entity.

| The presentation and functional currency is Pound Sterling (£).

| The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and under the historical cost convention.

| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are 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 considered to be 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.

| The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

| Trade debtors recoverability

| Amounts recoverable on trade debtors are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. The directors make estimates as to the recoverability of these debts and provide for them accordingly.

| Depreciation is provided so as to write down the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as set out in the company's accounting policy. The selection of these estimated lives requires the exercise of management judgement. Useful lives are regularly reviewed and should management's assessment of useful lives shorten then depreciation charges in the financial statements would increase and carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment would reduce accordingly.

| The directors make estimates in relation to turnover adjustments based on the performance of services to the related parties.

| Turnover

| Turnover is the total amount receivable by the company for services provided, excluding VAT and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised on the performance of the service.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

| Improvements to property | - | 2% on cost

| Plant and machinery | - | 15% on reducing balance

| Motor vehicles | - | 25% on reducing balance

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

| At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

| If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

| Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

| Stocks

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

| Stocks represent diesel.

| Financial instruments

| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

| Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

| Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements , when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

| Basic financial assets, which include trade debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

| Basic financial liabilities, including trade creditors, bank loans, and accrued expenses, that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at the transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

| Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligation are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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.

| Going concern

| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company serves companies connected to the ultimate controlling party. Based on internal forecasts and projections considering severe and plausible downside scenarios, prepared for the period to future periods that take in to account the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business and reasonably possible changes in the company's trading performance, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months. Accordingly, the going concern basis has continued to be adopted in the preparation of the financial statements

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 55 (2024 - 54 ) .
