Notes to the Financial Statements |
For The Year Ended 31 December 2017 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Metwire Belts Limited is a |
company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Metwire Belts Limited as an individual company and do not |
contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 |
of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its |
subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, |
Wire Belt Company Limited, Castle Road, Eurolink Industrial Estate, Sittingbourne, Kent. ME10 3RF. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates based on |
historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable |
under the circumstances. The items in the financial statements where these estimates and judgements have been |
made are: |
a) Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets |
The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic |
lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives are re-assessed annually. They are amended |
where necessary to reflect current estimates based on technological advancement, future investments, economic |
utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
b) Stock and work in progress provisions |
It is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stocks and work in progress. When calculating any |
provision required, management consider the nature and condition of the items as well as assessing the |
saleability of finished goods and the future usage of raw materials. |
c) Impairment of debtors |
The company make a judgement of the recoverability of trade and other debtors. When assessing any potential |
impairment, factors such as the ageing profile and historical experience are considered. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, |
value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods |
have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic |
benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the cost incurred or to be incurred in |
respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on dispatch of the goods. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and office equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are stated under the cost model 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 be capable of operating. |
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted prospectively if |
appropriate, or there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are |
recognised within 'operating profit' in the income statement. |
Stocks and work in progress |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow |
moving items. |
Cost is calculated using the first in, first out method and includes all purchase, transport and handling costs in |
bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
Work in progress and finished goods includes the cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable overheads |
based on normal levels of activity. |
Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs expected to be incurred for |
completion and sale. Any impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. |
Current and deferred tax |
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 |
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of |
transaction. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling |
at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held |
under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases |
are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital |
element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the |
lease. |
The apportionment between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability uses the effective |
interest method. |
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. |
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. |
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. |

Employee benefits |
When employees have rendered services to the company, short term employee benefits to which the employees |
are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. |
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are |
received. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks. |
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 statement of comprehensive income |
in other administrative expenses. |
Impairment |
Assets not valued at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance |
sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is |
estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an |
impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past |
event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can |
be reliably estimated. The provision is charged to the income statement in the year that the company becomes |
aware of 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. |
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 accounts receivable and payable and loans to related parties. |
Debt instruments like loans and other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at present value of |
the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method; Debt instruments |
that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, 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 outright short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially and |
subsequently, at the present value. |
Investment in subsidiary undertaking |
Investments in wholly owned subsidiary undertakings are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. |
