Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous period, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Plant & machinery
15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
20% reducing balance
Computer equipment
3 years straight line
Stocks have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's accounts. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease at a constant proportion of the outstanding balance of capital repayments.
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are recognised in the profit and loss account when due.

Notes to the Accounts
for the period from 1 June 2024 to 30 September 2025
The company's liabilities exceeded it's assets at the Balance Sheet date largely as a result of further losses incurred. In an effort to improve performance going forward, as referred to in note 4 to the Accounts, the Directors made the difficult decision to close it's loss making Tea Rooms business, in September 2025, and to concentrate on it's core Bakery operation.
They are confident that, as a result of this decision, the company will return to profitability and believe that the accounts should therefore continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.
