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 Statement of Comprehensive Income has not been delivered.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 21 September 2021 and were signed on its behalf by:

J Weston - Director

1.	Statutory information

J. J. Rudell & Co. 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.

Going concern

The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as it is their belief that company has adequate resources and support to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment the directors have considered a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is shorter.

Freehold property

- 1.5% on revalued amount

Long term leasehold property

- Written off in equal installments over the lease from the date of acquisition

Leasehold improvements

- 7% on cost

Fixtures and fittings

- 15% reducing balance

Computer equipment

- 5 years straight line basis

An amount equal to the excess of the annual depreciation charge on revalued assets over the notional historical cost depreciation charge on those assets is transferred annually from revaluation reserve to the profit and loss reserve.

The Company has elected to adopt a 'deemed cost' value at the date of transition in the year ended 31 March 2016. This reflects the value of tangible assets under the previous revaluation policy under UK GAAP at the date of transition (1 March 2014). The Company will no longer apply the revaluation model under FRS 102 ( as it previously did under UK GAAP) and will hold assets at the deemed cost and depreciate them over their useful economic lives. Revaluations will no longer be performed.

On transition, the revaluation reserve remains in accordance with Companies Act 2006. Tangible assets are tested for impairment when an indicator of impairment is identified. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Any impairment of the carrying value is charged to the income statement. Impairment charges through the income statement relating to previously revalued assets are subsequently transferred from the profit and loss to the revaluation reserve.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised using the accruals model. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in the income statement on a systematic basis over the period in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchases on a first in first out basis.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

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.

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.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Valuation of investments

Investments in unlisted company shares, whose market value cannot be reliably determined, are stated at historical cost less impairment.
