This is the first year the company has presented its financial statements under FRS 102 Section 1A (Small Entities). The company previously prepared its financial statements under FRS 105. The date of transition was 1 November 2023.
The transition required a retrospective change to the accounting policy for deferred tax, which was not permitted under FRS 105. The impact of this restatement on the company's historical financial position is detailed below:
Opening Equity (1 November 2023): Reduced by £1,512.59 to record the initial deferred tax liability on fixed asset timing differences (calculated at 19%). This adjusted the previously reported equity of £1,313.00 to a restated deficit of (£199.59).
Prior Year Profit (Year ended 31 October 2024): Reduced by a deferred tax charge of £1,943.83, altering the previously reported profit of £14,300.00 to a restated profit of £12,356.17.
Closing Comparative Equity (31 October 2024): The cumulative effect of these adjustments reduced the previously reported equity of £15,613.00 to a restated balance of £12,156.58.
Deferred tax balances at 31 October 2024 (£3,456.42) and 31 October 2025 (£3,486.56) are calculated using the expected future effective marginal tax rate of 22%.
