French And Son Ltd is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is recognised to the extent it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the company, and that it can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales taxes. |
Turnover from the provision of services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when the following conditions are satisfied: |
- the amount of turnover can be measured reliably; |
- it is probable that consideration due will be received; |
- the stage of completion of the contract at the reporting date can be measured reliably, and |
- the costs incurred, or to be incurred, can be measured reliably. |
Turnover recognised but not billed at the reporting date is treated as amounts recoverable on contracts due within one year. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2001, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of twenty years. |
An amortisation period of 20 years was adopted as the company cannot make a reliable estimate of the useful life of goodwill. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Improvements to property - 20% on reducing balance |
Plant and machinery - 33% on reducing balance |
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance |
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance |
Computer equipment - 4 years on straight line |
Tangible fixed assets are held under the cost model, and are stated at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes directly attributable expenditure in bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for operation. |
The assets' residual values; useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed periodically and prospectively adjusted where appropriate; or where 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 in the statement of income and retained earnings. |

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 |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of income and retained earnings on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over the useful economic life. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the term of the lease, or useful economic life if shorter. |
Finance leases are those where substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of finance charges allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the statement of income and retained earnings so as to produce a constant, periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period. |
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 payable or receivable within one year, including loans and other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at the present value of future cash flows, and subsequently measured 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 at the undiscounted amount of consideration expected to be paid or received. 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 at a market rate, the financial asset or liability is initially measured at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument, and subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment, and such impairments is recognised in total comprehensive income. |

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. A defined contribution scheme is a plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate legal entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the company has no further payment obligations. |
Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings in the period to which they fall due. Amounts not paid by the reporting date are shown within accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. |
