## Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 28 February 2026

- ## 1. Accounting policies

  Basis of measurement and preparation

  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

  Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

  Musical instruments are capitalised at cost. The director considers that these assets have indefinite useful life and, as such, no depreciation is charged. The carrying values are reviewed annually to assess whether there is any indication of impairment. Where impairment is identified, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.

  Valuation information and policy

  Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
