The company is entitled to exemption from audit under Section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended 31 March 2019.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 in accordance with Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for:

(a)	ensuring that the company keeps accounting records which comply with Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006 and

(b)

preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at the end of each financial year and of its profit or loss for each financial year in accordance with the requirements of Sections 394 and 395 and which otherwise comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 relating to financial statements, so far as applicable to the company.

The financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

In accordance with Section 444 of the Companies Act 2006, the Income Statement has not been delivered.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 21 November 2019 and were signed on its behalf by:

P Dougherty - Director

G R Wigginton - Director

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Dougherty & Allen Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The

company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

During 2019 the directors have reviewed the profitability of contracts and made adjustments within the

business to improve profitability. The results for the six month period ended 30 September 2019 return a net

profit. With the anticipated improvement and with continued financial support from the Directors, they

consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Turnover

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for sale of services in the

ordinary nature of the business and excludes value added tax. Revenue from services is recognised when the

service is provided and the revenue can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful

life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Plant & machinery

33% on cost and 20% on cost

Fixtures & fittings

20% reducing balance

Motor Vehicles

Over 3 years

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified by directors as basic or advanced following the conditions on FRS 102

Section 11. Basic financial instruments are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction cost)

and subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The company does not

have any advanced financial instruments.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the

balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different

from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and

laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the

reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that

they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, where substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership of the asset have passed to the company, are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over

the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is

treated in the balance sheet as a liability.

The finance element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the

lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's

pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provisions for impairments.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
