Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Duncan Cameron & Hutchinson Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the amount receivable for goods sold and services rendered, excluding Value Added Tax. |
Long-term contracts are assessed on a contract by contract basis and are reflected in the profit and loss account by comparing turnover and related costs with contract activity. Where it is considered that the outcome of a long-term contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty before its conclusion the attributable profit is recognised in the profit and loss account as the difference between the reported turnover and related costs for that contract. |
Long-term contract balances |
Long-term contract balances are valued at direct costs incurred to date plus attributable production overheads, net of amounts transferred to cost of sales and after deducting foreseeable losses and payments on account not matched with turnover. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |
Plant, equipment and tools | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Office equipment | - |
Freehold property is included at fair value at the date of the most recent valuation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation. Gains are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation reserve. Deferred taxation is provided on these gains at the rate expected to apply when the property is sold. |
Freehold land is not depreciated. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are initially recognised at cost. After initial recognition, investments in subsidiary undertakings are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. |

Hire purchase commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Pension costs |
The company makes contributions to employees' personal pension schemes. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the profit and loss account. |
Deferred taxation |
Deferred taxation is provided on the liability method to take account of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for accounts purposes and their treatment for tax purposes. |
Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for in respect of all material timing differences. |
