2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover relates to the sale of goods and services excluding VAT and discounts to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is not recognised until the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and services have passed to the buyer. |
Tangible assets |
Tangible Assets have been stated at cost (less grants where appropriate). Depreciation is provided on the following reducing balance basis (unless otherwise stated) to write off the cost of these assets over their estimated useful lives. |
Heritable Property - 1% |
Plant and Equipment at rates between 5% and 20% WDV |
Flats Furniture and Equipment - 15% Straight Line |
Motor Vehicles and Tractors - 25% |
Computer Equipment - 25% Straight Line |
Investment property |
In accordance with SSAP19 investment properties are included in the Balance Sheet at most recent valuation. The properties are professionally valued by J P E Shepherd, Chartered Surveyors on a regular basis using an existing use open market basis. The directors may revise these valuations on an annual basis. The aggregate surplus arising from these valuations has been transferred to a revaluation reserve. The latest professional valuations were carried out as at 20 March 2020. |
No depreciation is provided on investment properties as required by SSAP19. However the Companies Act 2006 requires that all properties should be depreciated. The directors consider that these properties are held for their investment potential and it is therefore necessary to adopt SSAP19, as to depreciate them would not give a true and fair view. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
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 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. |
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. |
Investments |
All investments in shares are stated at cost excluding transaction costs, and are assessed for possible impairment at each balance sheet date. |
