During the year ended 31 December 2025, the company transitioned from preparing its financial statements under FRS 105 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime to FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities.
The transition has been accounted for in accordance with the first-time adoption provisions of FRS 102. As part of the transition process, the company assessed the recognition and measurement requirements of FRS 102 and identified that a provision for deferred taxation was required in respect of timing differences existing at the date of transition.
As deferred tax is not recognised under FRS 105, no deferred tax provision was previously recorded. The recognition of deferred tax on transition resulted in a reduction in opening reserves at 1 January 2024 of £84,669, with a corresponding deferred tax liability recognised within creditors.
The impact of the transition on shareholders' funds was as follows:
Retained earnings under FRS 105 at 1 January 2024 £173,294, less recognition of deferred tax liability on transition of £84,669, resulting in restated retained earnings under FRS 102 at 1 January 2024 £88,625
In addition, the comparative profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 has been restated to reflect the deferred tax charge required under FRS 102. As a result, profit after tax for the year ended 31 December 2024 decreased by £37.760, representing the deferred tax expense arising on timing differences. The corresponding deferred tax liability has been included within liabilites at 31 December 2024.
The adoption of FRS 102 had no material impact on the company's profit for the year ended 31 December 2025 other than the recognition of deferred tax movements required under FRS 102.
