NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021 |
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
B. Cookson Limited is a
|
|
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
|
|
The principal trading address of the company is considered to be the same as the Registered Office. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the 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 |
|
Freehold property | - |
|
Plant and machinery | - |
|
Fixtures and fittings | - |
|
Motor vehicles | - |
|
|
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment in value. |
|
The non depreciation of freehold property is a departure from the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 that all tangible fixed assets should be depreciated. Freehold property is held under the revaluation model as applicable under the provisions of Section 17 of FRS 102. The directors consider that the carrying value of freehold property is not materially different to fair value. |
|
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
|
Financial instruments |
A basic financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. |
|
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments: listed investments, trade debtors, amounts owed by group undertakings, other debtors, trade creditors, hire purchase contracts and other creditors. |
|
Listed investments are measured at cost less impairment. |
|
Hire purchase contracts and loans are initially measured at the present value of future payments, discounted at a market rate of interest, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
Trade debtors, trade creditors and amounts owed by group undertakings are measured at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. |
|
Financial assets are assessed at the end of the reporting period for objective evidence of impairment and if applicable is recognised as appropriate. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
|
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 the profit and loss account as they are incurred 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. |
|
Going concern |
The directors have considered the effects of the COVID 19 restrictions on the company. The company has taken advantage of government assistance where the directors have considered it appropriate. Whilst there is still uncertainty as to the length of time the restrictions will continue, at the time of approval, the directors believe that the company has sufficient trade and financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements has been adopted. |
|
Other income |
Government grants receivable consists of funds received under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme implemented by the UK Government response to the COVID 19 pandemic as a contribution to employee costs. |
