Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
DBS Mechanical & Electrical Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 08565871 . The registered office is 8 Colne Way Court, Colne Way, Watford, WD24 7NE.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
At the balance sheet date, the company had a net liability position of £347,507 following the write down of assets in the 2024 period. As shown in the 2025 financial statements, the company has returned to profit in the 2025 financial year, and unaudited management accounts to date for the 2026 period show the company continuing to be profitable. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the company will have sufficient cash flows to meet its liabilities as they fall due. These forecasts account for the negative balance sheet and are dependent on the continued financial support of fellow group companies, which have provided written undertakings of financial support for a period of not less than 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements. 
The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3. Turnover
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 is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold Straight line over 10 years
Motor Vehicles 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures & Fittings 25% on cost
2.5. Dividends
During the year ended 31 July 2024, the company paid interim dividends of £47,367. At the time the dividends were declared, the directors had reasonable grounds to believe the company had sufficient distributable reserves to support the dividends in that year. Following the amendments and restatement of figures for the year ended 31 July 2024, the company ceased to have sufficient distributable reserves. The directors consider that based on their assessment of having sufficient distributable reserves at the time of declaring the dividends, they are not unlawful dividends. The directors are taking steps to re-organise reserves within the group, and confirm no further distributions will be made until such time as there are sufficient distributable reserves available.
3. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 7 (2024: 14)
