Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales made during the year, or the fair value of services provided for amounts not invoiced at the year end. |
Turnover arising from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are passed to the buyer. Turnover arising from the provision of consultancy and secretarial services is recognised as contract activity progresses and the right to consideration is earned. |
Tangible fixed assets |
No depreciation is provided for in respect of investment properties in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015). Such properties are held for their investment potential and not for consumption within the business. This is a departure from the Companies Act 2006 which requires all properties to be depreciated and the directors consider that to depreciate them would not enable the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Investment properties are stated at their market value at the balance sheet date. |
Investment property - Not depreciated |
Investment property |
Investment properties are initially measured at cost. They are subsequently measured at the most recent valuation as carried out by the directors. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit and loss. |
Financial instruments |
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors and accruals. |
Trade debtors and accruals are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. |
Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |
Provisions are set up only where it is probable that a present obligation exists as a result of an event prior to the balance sheet date and that a payment will be required in settlement that can be estimated reliably. Where material, provisions are calculated on a discounted basis. |
Current asset investments are initially measured at fair value. At the end of the reporting period the current asset investments are measured at fair value with changes being recorded through the profit and loss account. |
The directors have considered the company's financial position for a minimum period of 12 months and beyond from the date of signing these financial statements and have an expectation that the company should be in a position to continue trading in the current format for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. |
