Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial statements. |
|
|
|
Statement of compliance |
|
The financial statements of the company for the financial year ended 31 May 2026 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A (Small Entities) and the Companies Act 2006. |
|
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. |
|
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover comprises the invoice value of goods supplied by the company, exclusive of trade discounts and value added tax. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows: Sale of goods Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on delivery of the goods. |
|
|
|
Tangible assets and depreciation |
|
Tangible assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. Cost comprises purchase price and other directly attributable costs. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: |
|
|
| |
|
Plant and machinery |
- |
20% Straight line |
| |
|
Fixtures, fittings and equipment |
- |
20% Straight line |
| |
|
Motor vehicles |
- |
25% Reducing balance |
|
|
|
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
|
|
|
Leasing |
|
Rentals payable under operating leases are dealt with in the Income Statement as incurred over the period of the rental agreement. |
|
|
|
Stocks |
|
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Stocks are determined on a first-in first-out basis. Cost comprises expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. Full provision is made for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value comprises actual or estimated selling price (net of trade discounts) less all further costs to completion or to be incurred in marketing and selling. |
|
|
|
Trade and other debtors |
|
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
|
|
|
Trade and other creditors |
|
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. |
|
|
|
Employee benefits |
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. |
|
|
|
Taxation and deferred taxation |
|
Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the financial year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. |
|
|
|
Pensions |
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. Annual contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the Income Statement in the period to which they relate. |
|
|
|
Ordinary share capital |
|
The ordinary share capital of the company is presented as equity. |
