1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
D & S Mowat Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover is attributable to the company's principal activity of property management and rental. |
Investment property |
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. |
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequently, investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort, on an on-going basis, are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise. |
Investment properties whose fair value cannot be measured reliably without undue cost or effort, on an on-going basis, are included in plant, property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Investments |
Investments are assets held for capital appreciation. |
Investments are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequently, investments whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort, on an on-going basis, are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investments are included in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise. |
Financial instruments |
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and payables, loans from banks and other third parties. |
At the end of each reporting period, financial assets that are measured at cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the Income Statement. |
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows arising from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party, or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party. |
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |

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 statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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. |
