Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. 05121722 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 2017-03-31 05121722 2016-03-31 05121722 c:Director3 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:Director5 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Buildings d:ShortLeaseholdAssets 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Buildings d:ShortLeaseholdAssets 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Buildings d:ShortLeaseholdAssets 2016-03-31 05121722 d:PlantMachinery 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:PlantMachinery 2017-03-31 05121722 d:PlantMachinery 2016-03-31 05121722 d:PlantMachinery d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:MotorVehicles 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:MotorVehicles 2017-03-31 05121722 d:MotorVehicles 2016-03-31 05121722 d:MotorVehicles d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:OfficeEquipment 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:OfficeEquipment 2017-03-31 05121722 d:OfficeEquipment 2016-03-31 05121722 d:OfficeEquipment d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:OfficeEquipment d:LeasedAssetsHeldAsLessee 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:OtherPropertyPlantEquipment 2017-03-31 05121722 d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:LeasedAssetsHeldAsLessee 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2017-03-31 05121722 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2016-03-31 05121722 d:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2016-03-31 05121722 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments d:WithinOneYear 2017-03-31 05121722 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments d:WithinOneYear 2016-03-31 05121722 d:Non-currentFinancialInstruments d:AfterOneYear 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Non-currentFinancialInstruments d:AfterOneYear 2016-03-31 05121722 d:Non-currentFinancialInstruments d:BetweenOneTwoYears 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Non-currentFinancialInstruments d:BetweenOneTwoYears 2016-03-31 05121722 d:ShareCapital 2017-03-31 05121722 d:ShareCapital 2016-03-31 05121722 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2017-03-31 05121722 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2016-03-31 05121722 d:AcceleratedTaxDepreciationDeferredTax 2017-03-31 05121722 d:OtherDeferredTax 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass1 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass1 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass2 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass2 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass3 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass3 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass4 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:OrdinaryShareClass4 2017-03-31 05121722 c:FRS102 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:AuditExempt-NoAccountantsReport 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:FullAccounts 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 c:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Subsidiary1 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Subsidiary1 1 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Subsidiary2 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Subsidiary2 1 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Subsidiary3 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:Subsidiary3 1 2016-04-01 2017-03-31 05121722 d:WithinOneYear 2017-03-31 05121722 d:WithinOneYear 2016-03-31 05121722 d:BetweenOneFiveYears 2017-03-31 05121722 d:BetweenOneFiveYears 2016-03-31 05121722 d:MoreThanFiveYears 2017-03-31 05121722 d:MoreThanFiveYears 2016-03-31 xbrli:shares iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017

1.


General information

The company is a private company limited by shares and domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 05121722.  The registered office address is Cedar House, Grange Farm, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 2TF.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.3

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.3
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Leasehold Improvements
-
25%
Plant & machinery
-
25%
Motor vehicles
-
25%
Office equipment
-
25%

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

 
2.4

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.5

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 purchase on a first in, first outbasis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

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.

 
2.6

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.7

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.8

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid

or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

 
2.9

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.10

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'other operating income'.

 
2.11

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.12

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. Dividends on shares recognised as liabilities are recognised as expenses and classified within interest payable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.13

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of comprehensive income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.14

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

 
2.15

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.16

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of comprehensive income in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.17

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
