Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 28 February 2026

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| The Cut Price Bookstore 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.

| The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| 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.

| The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

| Goodwill

| Goodwill can be split into two separate amounts as follows:

| Goodwill of £35,000 arising on incorporation in 2003 was amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years, and;

| Goodwill of £59,999, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2011, was amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years.

| Both amounts have now been fully written down to nil.

| 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 each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Leasehold property | - | over the period of the lease

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 33% on cost and 20% on cost

| Computer equipment | - | 33% on cost

| Stocks

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

| Tax

| Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

| Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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.

| Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Foreign currencies

| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 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.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for the benefit of its staff. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

| The Company also operates a non contributory pension scheme for certain directors. Expenditure is charged to the profit and loss account as it is paid.

| Impairment

| Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

| Debtors and creditors receivable/payable

| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in other administrative expenses.

| Leasing commitments

| Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
