Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The director's have assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern and have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. At the balance sheet date the company had negative shareholder funds of £1,066,663 (2024: £1,018,347). The future of the company is dependent upon the continued support of the directors. This support will be available for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the directors consider the company to be a going concern.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
services have been delivered to the customer; and
collectability of the related receivables is fairly assured.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 October 2025

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

A review for indicators of impariment is carried out at each reporting date, where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Depreciation method and rate for Tangible assets

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Fixtures and Fittings

20% on cost

Office equipment

25% on cost

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised at the transaction price.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments.

 

Dovelight Ltd

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 October 2025

Financial instruments

Classification

The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, trade creditors, bank loans and director's loans to the company.

 Recognition and measurement

Trade debtors and trade creditors are measured at the undiscounted amounts receivable from a customer or payable to a supplier, which is normally the invoice price.

Loans received from a bank at a market rate of interest are recognised at the amount of cash received from the bank, less separately incurred transaction costs.

Director's loans to the company which are repayable on demand are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash expected to be paid.

Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value of the shares can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are charged to profit or loss. The investments are subsequently remeasured in the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognised through profit and loss.


 Impairment

Trade debtors are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 0 (2024 - 0).
