(3) Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis of Preparation
|
|
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The presentation and functional currency of the company is pounds sterling. The financial statements are presented in pound units (£) unless stated otherwise. |
|
Rental income
|
|
Rental income from operating leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Rental Income is included within other income from fixed assets. |
|
Property, plant and equipment
|
|
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Part of an item of property, plant and equipment having different useful lives are accounted for as separate items.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
| Asset class and depreciation rate | Land and Buildings | | Plant and Machinery | | Short Leasehold Properties | | Investment Properties | | Long Leasehold Properties | | Commercial Vehicles | | Fixtures and Fittings | | Equipment | | Motor Cars | 20% reducing balance |
|
Financial instruments
|
|
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, and loans and borrowings.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. |
|
|
Loans and borrowings
|
|
These are initially recognised at fair value, based upon the nominal amount outstanding. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are recorded at amortised cost. Borrowing costs arising on bank borrowings are expensed as incurred within financial expense using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Effective interest method
|
|
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. |
|
Investments
|
|
Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an ongoing basis. |
