Accounting policies
Company information
Safety Signs UK Ltd is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 169 New London Road, Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom, CM2 0AE.
1.1
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Consolidation
The company has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements
contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the company and its subsidiary
undertakings comprise a small group.
1.2
Going concern
Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Revenue
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied
and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have
transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured
reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred
or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.
1.4
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation 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:
Website improvements
33.3% straight line
1.5
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

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 improvements
33.3% straight line
Plant and equipment
25% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
33.3% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
25% reducing balance
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.
1.6
Fixed asset investments
Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
1.7
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount
being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable
amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at
each reporting date.
When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made
of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating
unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that
are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
1.8
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.
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.
1.9
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
1.10
Financial instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of
financial assets and liabilities like trade and other receivables and payable.
Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables,
are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other
consideration, expected to be paid or received.

1.11
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
1.12
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the amount of current tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. In this case, tax is
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively.
Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at
the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
1.13
Employee benefits
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.14
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.15
Leases
As lessee
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.
