1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Littlehampton Welding Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pound Sterling (£) which is rounded to the nearest Pound (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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

Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have reviewed current trading conditions, their future order book as well as financial headroom. Based on this, they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises turnover when:

- the amount of revenue can be reliably measured;

- it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and

- specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Turnover from contracts for the provision of goods and services is recognised when the outcome of a contract can be measured reliably, the entity will recognise both the income and costs (excluding non-productive costs) by reference to the percentage of completion of the contract. Turnover is calculated as that proportion of the total contract value which costs to date bear to total costs for that contract. Full provision is made for any foreseeable losses.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold property 6.66% and 25% on cost

Plant and machinery 25% on cost

Fixtures and fittings 25% on cost

Motor vehicles 25% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss .

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified by the director as basic or advanced following the conditions in FRS102 section 1A. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost using effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. The company has no advanced financial instruments.

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.

Leasing commitments

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

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.

Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and and expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
