Exploration & Testing Associates Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. Since the balance sheet date, the Directors have introduced significant funds to support the company and the current year shows profits being reported each month. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
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. |
Accreditation are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Short leasehold | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Stocks |
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account. |
Deferred taxation is provided on the liability method to take account of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for accounts purposes and their treatment for tax purposes. Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for in respect of all material timing differences. |
Current and deferred 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. |
Hire purchase and leasing 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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. |
Invoice financing |
The invoice financing creditor represents amounts received in respect of financed debts. There is full recourse to the company for losses on debts, and so the financed debts continue to be recognised on the balance sheet. Interest and other charges relating to invoice financing are recognised in the profit and loss account over the relevant period. |
Government grants |
Revenue based grants are credited to the profit and loss account on receipt. |
Capital based grants are credited to the profit and loss account when the conditions of the grant have been met. |
