2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is recognised to the extent that the Company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales taxes or duty. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
Sale of goods |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on dispatch of the goods, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Rendering of services |
Revenue from supply of accommodation is recognised at the point services are provided. Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the term. Net takings from machine income are recognised as earned. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes cost directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
The Directors follow a policy of improving and fully maintaining properties in order that they may enjoy an indefinite useful life. In view of this policy, no depreciation has been deducted from the carrying values in the accounts. |
The non-depreciation of buildings is a departure from the Companies Act 2006. The rationale for non-depreciation is that the Company spends so much money maintaining the properties that the pubs have an indefinite useful economic life. The Directors are therefore applying the true and fair override in order not to depreciate the property. The Directors perform annual impairment reviews in accordance with the accounting standards to ensure that the carrying values are not lower than the recoverable amounts. |
Investment property |
Certain of the Company's properties are held for long-term investment. Investment properties are accounted for as follows: |
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost which includes purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Investment properties whose market value can be measured reliably are measured at market value. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the income statement and accumulated in the profit and loss reserve unless a deficit below original cost, or its reversal, on an individual investment property is expected to be permanent, in which case it is recognised in the profit and loss account for the year. No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
Basic financial instruments, including trade and other receivables and payables, cash and bank balances, bank loans and loans to or from other group companies are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |

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 balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
