2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover and revenue recognition |
Turnover represents the invoiced sales of hearing aids, and the receipt of property rental income. |
Revenue from hearing aids is recognised as earned, and to the extent that, the company has obtained the rights to the consideration in exchange for these goods. It is measured at the fair value of the right to consideration, which represents amounts chargeable to customers. |
Rent is recognised in accordance with the lease agreement. Where there are lease incentives such as rent free periods the rent relating to these incentives is accrued and subsequently released of the full period of the lease agreement. Property sales are recognised with reference to completion date. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Website costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of five years. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery etc | - |
Investment property |
Investment properties are shown at their fair value. Any surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account for the year. A reduction in value due to fluctuation in the property market conditions is not considered to be permanent. |
Deferred taxation is provided on any fair value surplus at the rate expected to apply when the property is sold and at the year end is included in the fair value reserve with the relevant change in fair value. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. |
All loans with related parties are repayable on demand. |
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. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised where the company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the company will be required to settle the obligations, and a reliable estimate can be made of the obligations. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
