Investment property |
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Income Statement. |
A corresponding transfer between distributable and undistributable reserves is made to reflect the nature of the value changes (and deferred tax impact) recognised in the Income Statement. |
Investments |
Listed investments, or those whose fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at fair value, with changes recognised in the Income Statement. Corresponding transfer between distributable and undistributable reserves are made to reflect the nature of the value changes (and deferred tax impact) recognised in the Income Statement. |
Unlisted investments, except those whose fair value can be measured reliably, are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Any subsequent revaluation of the investment only takes place once tier 1 inputs are available. |
Group financial statements |
Exemption has been taken from preparing consolidated financial statements on the grounds that the group qualifies as a small group. |
