NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the Year Ended 31 DECEMBER 2021 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
BENJAMIN MOORE UK LIMITED is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 09573012 and the registered office address is 804 Oxford Avenue, Slough, England, SL1 4LN. |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
Length of period |
The end of the company's previous reporting period was changed to 31 December 2020, resulting in the comparative financial statements covering a period shorter than one year. This was done in order to align the company's year end with that of its new parent company. The comparative amounts presented in the financial statements (including the related notes) are therefore not entirely comparable. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future due to the fact that the company has the continued support of the group. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic the group have continued to trade well. The directors have been given assurance that this support will continue for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch or retail sale of the goods). |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Short leasehold improvements - Straight line over term of lease |
Plant and machinery - Straight line over 7 to 10 years as appropriate |
Fixtures and fittings - Straight line over 10 years |
Computer equipment - Straight line over 3 years |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognised impairment loss. |
Government grants |
Government grants are recognised on the accruals basis, relating to the periods in which the entity recognises the cost for which the grant is intended to compensate. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
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. |

9. | DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 444(5B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 |
The Report of the Auditors was qualified. |
Basis for qualified opinion |
Included within the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020 was a comparative stock balance with a carrying amount of £413,998. The audit evidence available to us was limited because the corresponding figures were unaudited and we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the stock quantity and valuation at that date using other audit procedures. |
Consequently we were unable to determine whether there was any consequential effect on cost of sales for the period ended 31 December 2020. |
Our audit opinion on the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020 was modified accordingly. Our opinion on the current year's financial statements is also modified because of the possible effect of this matter on the comparability of the current year's figures and the corresponding figures. |
