1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Adelphi Distillery Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is stated net of VAT and trade discounts and is recognised when the significant risks and rewards are considered to have been transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are physically delivered to the customer. Turnover from the supply of services represent the fair value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to consideration and is recorded at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. |
Intangible fixed assets |
Intangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all intangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less residual value, of each asset on a straight line basis over it's expected useful life, as follows: |
Patents and licences | - | 50% on cost and 10% on cost |
Development costs | - | 25% on cost |
Computer software | - | 25% on cost |
Residual value represents the estimated amount which would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of it's useful life. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less residual value, of each asset on a straight line basis over it's expected useful life, as follows: |
Freehold property | - 5% on cost |
Improvements to property | - 15% on cost |
Plant and machinery | - 20% on cost |
Fixtures and fittings | - 20% on cost |
Motor vehicles | - 20% on cost |
Computer equipment | - 25% on cost |
Residual value represents the estimated amount which would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. |
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. After initial recognition, investment in subsidiary undertakings are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. |
Investments |
Investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment. |
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell, which is equivalent to the net realisable value. Provision is made for obsolete, slow-moving or defective items where appropriate. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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 and leasing commitments |
Assets held under finance leases, hire purchases and other similar arrangements, which confer rights and obligations similar to those attached to owned assets, are capitalised as tangible fixed assets at the fair value of the leased asset and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their useful lives. The capital elements of future lease obligations are recorded as liabilities, while the interest elements are charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. |
Share based payments |
The cost of share options granted to employees is calculated based on the fair value of the options at the date the shares were granted and is recognised on an annual basis throughout the anticipated vesting period. The associated cost is allocated to the income statement and a corresponding credit entry is recorded within the share option reserve. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimates can be made of the amount of the obligation. |
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
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. |
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement |
Exemption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the company qualifies as a small company. |
