Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Arabian Oud Company 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.

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.

Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable from the sale of goods through the Company’s retail units and online sales platforms, excluding value added tax and trade discounts.

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the customer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company.

For retail sales, revenue is recognised at the point of sale through the Company’s point-of-sale systems. For online sales, revenue is recognised when the goods are dispatched to, or received by, the customer in accordance with the relevant sales terms.

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.

Website Development & Software are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of five years.

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.
Leasehold Improvement - 10% on cost and Over the useful life of individual lease
Tool and Instruments - 20% on cost
Furniture & Office Equipments - 10% on cost
Air Conditions - 10% on cost
Computers - 20% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost is calculated using the first in first out basis of valuation. Net realisable value is based on the price at which the stock is sold or is expected to be sold after the year end.

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 is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.

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. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company incurred a loss before tax of £450,300 (2024: profit of £8,304). At the reporting date, the Company had net current liabilities of £1,298,196 (2024: £728,634) and a deficit in net assets of £543,534 (2024: £178,936).

These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding the above, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In reaching this conclusion, the directors have considered the expected continued financial support from the Company’s wider group, including its controlling company, which is also the Company’s largest creditor. The directors have also considered the Company’s continued expansion of its UK store network, the increase in online and store sales, the absence of external third-party borrowings, and the fact that the Company’s assets are not subject to secured lending arrangements.

On this basis, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be required if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
