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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:

| Sale of goods

| Turnover from the sale of cakes is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on dispatch of the goods.

| Goodwill

| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2001, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of twenty years.

| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2020, is being amortised at 6.5% on cost.

| Intangible assets

| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

| Tangible fixed assets

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

| Plant and machinery etc | - | 33% on cost, 25% on reducing balance and 10% on cost

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

| Stocks

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell and after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

| 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.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 statement of financial position. 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 shorter.

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

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the income statement 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 the income statement in the period to which they relate.

| Dividends

| At the time the dividends were paid the director was not aware that there were insufficient profits available for distribution and the director acknowledges that no further distributions can be made until there are sufficient profits available for that purpose.
