  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the transaction value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of goods are recognised at the checkout when goods have been paid for and removed from the shop by the customer.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Fixtures and fittings 15% reducing balance Equipment 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.

    Other accounting policies

    Going concern The company had a deficiency of assets at the balance sheet date, however this is mainly funded by a loan that has flexible repayment terms. Therefore, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. 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. For the purposes of impairment testing, 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. Stocks Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. Financial instruments The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - cash at bank, trade creditors, accruals, other creditors, taxes and directors' loans. Trade creditors are measured at the undiscounted amounts receivable from a customer or payable to a supplier, which is normally the invoice amount. Accruals, other creditors and taxes due at the end of the reporting period are measured at the amount payable. Directors' loans have no fixed terms for repayment and are measured at the undiscounted cash expected to be received. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. Defined contribution plans Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

Company activities and impact

Handam Refill Station CIC consists of: Refill Station Handam Refill Station CIC makes sustainable living simple and affordable for the local community. The welcoming refill station brings the power of choice back to customers' shopping experience. Located in Aberfeldy, customers can fill up on exactly what they need – from aromatic herbs and spices to wholesome beans, pulses, pasta, and rice. The CIC connects customers with fresh, organic fruit and vegetables alongside local eggs from trusted suppliers. The beauty of refilling lies in its simplicity: customers bring their own containers, buy only what they need, and leave with both money saved and the satisfaction of knowing they've reduced packaging waste. Every scoop, every bag, every jar filled is a small but meaningful step toward a healthier planet and a stronger community. Whether customers are trying to reduce waste for the first time or are already on their sustainability journey, the refill station makes it easy to make choices that feel good for both families and the environment. Reuse Project Launched in January 2024, the Reuse Project gives preloved items a second chance at life. The CIC accepts donations of small furniture, home decor, fabrics (sold by weight), DIY supplies, arts and crafts materials, frames, curtains, tools, DIY and gardening books diverting them from landfill and making them available to the community at affordable prices. Every purchase supports the CIC's mission, as all profits are reinvested into community benefiting initiatives. By choosing second-hand, customers find unique treasures for their homes while actively participating in reducing waste and supporting local sustainability efforts. Tool Library Launched in July 2025, the tool library is already making a difference in how the community approaches projects. Because not every job requires owning every tool, the CIC has created a space where community members can borrow what they need for home improvement, gardening, and creative projects without the expense and storage challenges of ownership. From power drills to speciality gardening equipment, the tool library makes quality tools accessible to everyone while reducing the number of items sitting unused in garages and sheds across the community. It's another step toward the CIC's vision of a community that shares resources, reduces waste, and supports each other in practical, meaningful ways. Whether tackling a weekend DIY project or trying a new gardening technique, the tool library helps community members get the job done while keeping the community's environmental impact light. Handam - Refill Station CIC operates with 1 full time and 1 part time members of staff in addition to regular help from volunteers. We aim to continue to passionately and consistently support our local communities on their journey to reduction and elimination of their use of single use plastic packaging, in learning new ways to reuse existing resources and to take advantage of emerging new innovations, and simply how to correctly recycle what they can in our area. Since closure of Pitlochry shop in December 2024 we have been focusing on repaying our debts and bringing our Aberfeldy shop to a be a self sufficient business
