Accounting policies
Company information
Charles Fellows Supplies Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.2
Going concern
Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales made during the year and derives from the provision of goods falling within the company's ordinary activities.
1.4
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 5 years from the date the asset is brought into use.
Software
20% straight line
1.5
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner indented by management.
The company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when the cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of the assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Improvements to property
10% on cost
Plant and machinery
20% on cost
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
10% on cost
Computer equipment and tills
20% on cost
Motor vehicles
20% on cost

Accounting policies

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Income Statement.
1.6
Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
1.7
Stocks
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowances for obsolete and slow moving items.
1.8
Taxation
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.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax
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 statement of financial position date.
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 the 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 differences.
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.
1.9
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.

1.10
Leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
1.11
Government grants
Grants are recognised against the expenditure to which they relate. Where government grants relate to capital expenditure, they are written off over the life of the asset.
1.12
Foreign exchange
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
1.13
Current asset investments
Current asset investments are shown at their market value at the balance sheet date.

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.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
Stock Valuation
Stock is shown in these financial statements less a provision for slow moving or obsolete stock. This provision is based on the age of the raw material. The total provision for slow moving or obsolete stock as at 31 December 2025 was £196,264 (2024 : £219,678)
Useful lives of depreciable assets
The annual depreciation charge depends primarily on the estimated useful life of the asset and circumstances.
The directors annually review the asset life and adjust as necessary to reflect current thinking on the remaining life in light of technological change, prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the asset concerned.
Change in asset lives can have a significant impact on depreciation charges for the period. It is not practical to quantify the impact on changes to asset lives on an overall basis, as asset lives are individually determined.
Investment property valuation
The company's investment property is held at fair value, taking into account the most reliable evidence at each reporting date. The details of any such valuation is shown in note 6 to these financial statements. The total investment held is £540,000 (2024: £425,430).
Investment valuation
The company's investment valuations held at the year end represent market values of shares held at the year end date, taking into account the most reliable evidence at each reporting date. The details of any such valuation is shown in note 9 to these financial statements. The total investment is held at £1,355,939 (2024: £1,364,443).
