Accounting policies
Company information
Singlewell Stationery & Print Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office and business address is 41b Singlewell Road, Gravesend, Kent, DA11 7PN.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of sale.
Rendering of services
When providing daily services, turnover is usually recognised on completion of the service and, for longer engagements, it is recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the balance sheet date.
1.3
Intangible fixed assets - goodwill
Intangible assets represent the cost of acquiring goodwill and customer relationships and are being amortised over a period of 5 years. In the opinion of the directors, this period represents a reliable estimate of the useful life of goodwill based on the long established business name and the length of typical customer relationships. Intangible assets are also reviewed for impairment in any period in which events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable.
1.4
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, net of depreciation.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and machinery
25% reducing balance basis
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
15% reducing balance basis and 33% straight line basis
Motor vehicles
25% reducing balance basis
1.5
Investment property
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account.
1.6
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price.

1.7
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the recognition and measurement 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price including transaction costs.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are recognised at transaction price.
1.8
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable or receivable and deferred tax.
Current tax
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
1.9
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
