Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 May 2026
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the hire of equipment and machinery and from the rendering of services.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at the following rates:
Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance
Plant and machinery 15% reducing balance
Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment 15% reducing balance
Investments
Investments in unquoted equity instruments are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price).
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price.
Taxation
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. 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. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
