Maunsell Locomotive Society Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023

2
Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
3
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
Revenue recognition
Income represents amounts chargeable in respect of donations,membership subscriptions and sales of items donated to the Society. The company recognises revenue when: The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
The company does not provide depreciation on its fixed assets. The responsibility and cost of all maintenance incurred on the Society's locomotives is borne by the Bluebell Railway Plc as part of the operating agreement that exists between the two companies. As such the value of the locomotives has not, nor does not, decrease over time. A depreciation charge is therefore not appropriate. The Maunsell Locomotovie Society Limited agreed to restore U Class locomotive 1638 which is on loan to the Society for a period of 50 years from 1993. Asset class: Locomotive Depreciation method and rate: As Above
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Debtors
Debtors with no stated interest rate or receivable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.
