NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025



1.

STATUTORY INFORMATION



D G S (Ireland) Limited is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act. The address of the registered office is given in the company information section and its principal place of business is at Unit 1, Block 4, Westlink Industrial Estate, Kylemore Road, Dublin 10, Ireland.



The financial statements are presented in Euro's (€) and rounded to the nearest €.


2.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE



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.  


3.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Basis of preparing the financial statements


The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.



Significant judgements and estimates

In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in the accounting policies,
management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

a) Stock provisioning
At each reporting date judgement is used by management to establish the net realisable value of stock. Provisions are established for net realisable value where appropriate and are made based on the facts available at the time. The level of provision required is reviewed on an on-going basis.

In arriving at an estimate for the net realisable value of stock, judgement is required in assessing their likely value on realisation taking into account market and technological changes.


Revenue recognition


Turnover represents net invoiced sale of goods, excluding value added tax.



Revenue is recognised on the sale of goods when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue on goods delivered is recognised when goods have been dispatched to the customer.



Tangible fixed assets


Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.  


Plant and machinery

-  

25% on cost and 10% on cost


Fixtures and fittings

-

10% on cost


Motor vehicles

-

25% on reducing balance

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued



Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.



Stocks


Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, and after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.



The cost of stock is calculated on a first in first out basis and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring stock, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.



The stock was previously calculated on the weighted average cost principle.



At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less costs to complete and sell. The impairment provision is determined primarily by future demand forecasts. The write down is measured as the difference between the calculated cost of the stock and market based upon assumptions about future demand and charged to the provision for stock, which is a component of cost of sales.



Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit & Loss Account, 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These 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 recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date except for certain exemptions. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only recognised when 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 rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing differences.


Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.


Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued



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 profit or loss in the period to which they relate.


Trade and other debtors


Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at the transaction price and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the debtors are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.



A provision for impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of debtors. The amount of the provision is determined as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, and is recognised in the profit & loss in operating expenses.



Trade and other creditors


Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.



Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities when applicable.



Financial instruments


The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties.



Debt instruments, like loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received.



However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an outright short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially and subsequently, at the present value of the future payment discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.



Provisions for liabilities


Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.



The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present


obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the


obligation.



Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the


obligation is recognised at present value using a pre-tax discount rate. The unwinding of the discount is


recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises.
