| 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. |

| 10. | DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 444(5B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 |
| The Report of the Auditors was qualified on the following basis: |
| Basis for qualified opinion |
| We were not appointed as auditor of the company until after 31 December 2023 and thus did not observe the counting of physical stock at the end of that year. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the value of stock of £127,562 held at 31 December 2023 by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether there was any consequential effect on the cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2024. Our audit opinion on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 was modified accordingly. Our opinion on the current year's financial statements is also modified because of the possible effect of this matter on the comparability of the current year's figures and the corresponding figures. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. |
