2   Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the accounting policies set out below, and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A and the Companies Act 2006.

Income Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. Revenue is recognised for the sale of goods when the vendor has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership, it is possible that the economic benefit will flow to the entity and the revenue and associated costs can be reliably measured.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Plant, machinery and vehicles25% reducing balance

Leasing

Assets, obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases, are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to profit and loss account on a straight line basis.

Leasing and hire purchase commitments

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are those where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the Company, are capitalised in the Statement of Financial Position and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability.

The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the Income Statement over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
