Accounting policies
Company information
Marasu's Petits Fours Limited is a
private
company
limited by shares
incorporated in England and Wales.
The registered office is
Unit 8, Powergate Business Park, Volt Avenue, London, NW10 6PW.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in
sterling
, which is the functional currency of the company.
Monetary a
mounts
in these financial statements are
rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
true
Following the year end date, the ongoing outbreak of Covid-19 has impacted the business. Despite the fact that the management took appropriate measures to mitigate the relevant implications (payables extension, PAYE and VAT deferrals etc.) to the minimum, the impact of Covid-19 resulted in short term cash deficit which was met by financial support from the parent company.
After careful consideration of forecast cash flows and expected trading performance in addition to the post balance sheet transactions, the directors believe that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements using existing working capital and ongoing financial support from the parent company. The directors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of these financial statements.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by the company, net of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
1.4
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets
are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold land and buildings
Over 4 years
Plant and machinery
10% per annum of cost
Fixtures and fittings
25% per annum of cost
Computer and office equipment
20% per annum of cost

1.5
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting
period
end date, the
company
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.6
Stocks
Stocks 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.
1.7
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash and cash equivalents
are basic financial assets
and
include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset
, with
the net amounts presented in the financial statements
,
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
1.9
Taxation
The tax expense represents deferred tax.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date 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 to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the
company
has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.10
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

1.11
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.12
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair
value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Rentals payable under operating leases,
including
any lease incentives received, are charged to
profit or loss
on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease
s
asset are consumed.
1.13
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the profit and loss account for the period.

Employees
The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was 85 (2018 - 73).

Audit report information
(Continued)
- 7 -
We have audited the financial statements of Marasu's Petits Fours Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2019 which comprise , the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102
The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its loss for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for qualified opinion
We were appointed as auditors of the company
after 31 December 2018
and thus did not observe the
counting of the physical
stock
at the beginning of the year. We were unable to satisfy
ourselves by alternative means concerning
stock
quantities held at
31 December 2018
.
Since
the
opening
stock
enter
s
into the determination of the financial performance, we were unable to determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in
respect of the
loss
for the year reported in the
profit and loss account.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard
, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
The senior statutory auditor was Donal Peter O'Connell.
The auditor was Shaw Gibbs Limited.

Events after the reporting date
The implications of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, especially in light of going concern, have been discussed in the relevant accounting policy. As noted in the relevant policy, the directors believe that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements using existing working capital and ongoing financial support from the parent company.
The directors consider the Covid-19 outbreak to be a non-adjusting post balance sheet event due to the worldwide spread of the virus, together with the corresponding economic impact and public health measures, occurring after the balance sheet date, rather than reflecting events or conditions in place as at 31 December 2019.

Related party transactions
