Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 June 2023

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenueearned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similarallowances.Sale of goodsTurnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This isusually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.Rendering of servicesTurnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract ismeasured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extentof recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at ratescalculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:Freehold SLLeasehold SLPlant & Machinery SLMotor Vehicles SLFixtures & Fittings SLComputer Equipment SL

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Other intangible assets are Software It is amortised to profit and loss account over its estimated economic life of 10 years.

    Other accounting policies

    Stocks and Work in ProgressStocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on acontract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.TaxationIncome tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensiveincome because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. Thecompany's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and thecorresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences.Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will beavailable against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of eachreporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset tobe recovered.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the assetrealised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilitiesare presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect thetax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle thecarrying amount of its assets and liabilities.Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they related to items that are recognised in other comprehensiveincome or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equityrespectively
