Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 April 2023

1.	Statutory information
	The company is a private company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	Compliance with applicable reporting framework
	The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102 Section 1A as it applies to the financial statements for the period and there were no material departures from the reporting standard.

3.	Accounting policies

	Property, plant and equipment policy
	Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets as follows: Plant and machinery etc - 33% on cost, 25% on cost and 25% on reducing balance

	Intangible assets policy
	Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The intangible asset, being goodwill, is the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2014 and is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

	Stocks policy
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price (less any associated costs to enable such sales to complete).

	Revenue recognition policy
	Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

	Deferred tax policy
	Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
