NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Buchanan (1983) Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The company depends on its bank facilities to meet its day to day working capital requirements. The company has agreed financial arrangements to enable it to continue to meet its day to day operating requirements. The facilities are being reviewed on an ongoing basis. On this basis the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Turnover
Turnover represents income from hotel accommodation, food and drink sales and from the delicatessen, excluding value added tax.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - At valuation
Short leasehold - Over the period of the lease
Soft furnishings - 20% straight line
Furniture and equipment - 20% on reducing balance, 10% on reducing balance and Straight line over 15 years
Motor vehicles - 20% straight line
Office equipment - 33.3% on reducing balance and 25% straight line

No depreciation is charged on freehold property on the grounds that it would be immaterial because the estimated residual value is not materially different from the carrying amount of the asset.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs.

Subsequently freehold property is measured at fair value. Freehold property valuations are based on an open market value. Deferred tax is provided on these movements. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of freehold property are included in the Revaluation Reserve in the period in which they arise.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
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 profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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.

Fixed asset investments
Investments are held at cost.
