Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 December 2021

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 147A Crosshall Road, Eaton Ford, St Neots, Cambridgeshire, PE19 7GB.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

During the year, the UK had experienced a pandemic of the coronavirus. The potential effects to the company and its future prospects cannot be fully quantified but the director remains committed to the protection of the business such that these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Revenue recognition

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services rendered, stated net of trade discounts and of value added tax. Work in progress is recognised as turnover when, and to the extent that, the company obtains the right to receive consideration from third parties or from capitalising their own work. Rental income Rental income receivable by the company is included on an accruals basis.

Taxation

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the year end where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the year-end.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight line basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Investment property Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss for the year. An amount equal to the fair value during the accounting period is transferred from the profit and loss to the investment revaluation reserve and disclosed in the statement of changes in equity.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Plant and machinery	-	20% straight line
Motor vehicles	-	25% reducing balance
Office equipment	-	25% reducing balance

Stocks

Raw materials, consumables and land for development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress Work in progress has been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, cost being direct cost plus a proportion of overheads where appropriate.

Finance leases and hire purchase contracts

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term.

Pension contributions

The company makes pension contributions for the benefit of the director and employees. The pension cost represents contributions payable in the year.

4. Employee numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to 4 (2020: 4 ).
