Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Cornerstone Design & Marketing Limited (registered number:
|
D Wadsworth
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Cornerstone Design & Marketing Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is Acorn Street, Lees, Oldham, OL4 3PD, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
During the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2025, the directors identified an error relating to the classification and measurement of a property in the comparative financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2024. The comparative figures have therefore been restated retrospectively in accordance with Section 10 of FRS 102.
Please see note 2 for further details of the adjustments recorded.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
* the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
* the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
* the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
* it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
* the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
* the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
* it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
* the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
* the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
Short term benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.

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.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Assets held under finance leases, hire purchase contracts and other similar arrangements, which confer rights and obligations similar to those attached to owned assets, are capitalised as tangible fixed assets at the fair value of the leased asset (or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments as determined at the inception of the lease) and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their useful lives. The capital elements of future lease obligations are recorded as liabilities, while the interest elements are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings over the period of the leases to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company as lessor
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment outstanding in respect of leases.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Balance Sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings as described below.
At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Balance Sheet when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders.
A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the Balance Sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the Balance Sheet date.
During the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2025, the directors identified an error relating to the classification and measurement of a property in the comparative financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2024. The comparative figures have therefore been restated retrospectively in accordance with Section 10 of FRS 102.
In previous periods, the property, which was held to generate rental income, was classified as tangible fixed assets and accounted for under Section 17 of FRS 102. As the property was held to earn rental income, it met the definition of an investment property and should have been accounted for in accordance with Section 16 of FRS 102.
Accordingly, the property’s net book value of £114,291 at 1 December 2023 has been reclassified from tangible fixed assets to investment property. The reclassification itself had no effect on the company’s net assets at that date.
In accordance with Section 16 of FRS 102, the investment property has been measured at fair value based on the most recent valuation undertaken in December 2023. Consequently, a fair value gain of £69,779 has been recognised in the comparative profit and loss account. A related deferred tax liability and deferred tax charge of £17,444 have also been recognised.
As an investment property measured at fair value is not depreciated, the depreciation charge of £2,930 previously recognised in the comparative period has been reversed. This reversal increased the profit and loss account reserve carried forward by £2,930.
The resulting adjustments have been reflected in the comparative amounts for tangible fixed assets, investment property, deferred tax, the profit and loss account and the profit and loss account reserve.

In previous periods, the property, which was held to generate rental income, was incorrectly classified within tangible fixed assets and accounted for in accordance with Section 17 of FRS 102. As explained in the prior year adjustment note (note 2), the property has been reclassified as investment property in accordance with Section 16 of FRS 102. The net book value of the property at 1 December 2023 was £114,291. The property was subsequently measured at its fair value of £187,000, based on the most recent external valuation undertaken in December 2023.
The valuation was carried out by an external, independent firm of chartered surveyors having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and class of property being valued. The directors have reviewed market conditions between the valuation date and 30 November 2025 and consider that there have been no material changes affecting the reported fair value.
