| 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.

| Going concern

| The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements.

Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

| Rendering of services

| Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract 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 contract;

| - the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

| - the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

| Goodwill

| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2021, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of five years.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Plant and machinery etc | - | 25% on cost

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Financial instruments

| a) Debtors

| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

| b) Creditors

| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at 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. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

| c) Cash at bank

| Cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Cash and bank balances are represented by cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

| Taxation

| The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.

| Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a change attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

| Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:

| - |  | the recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and |  |

| - |  | any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. |  |

| Both current and deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 5 (2024 - 6 ) .
