2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover and revenue recognition |
Turnover represents income from provision of buses for local service routes, contract and private hire excluding value added tax. Revenue is recognised when the service has been supplied to the customer. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery etc | - |
Stock |
Stock has been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities which are recognised when the company become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classified as "basic" in accordance with FRS 102 and are accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method.The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows over the life of the financial assets or liability to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Discounting is not applied to short-term receivables and payables, where the effect is immaterial. |
Financial assets at cost compromise bank, trade debtors and other debtors. Financial liabilities compromise trade creditors, accruals and other creditors. |
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. |

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. |
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern principle, which assumes that the company will continue to trade for the foreseeable future. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised where the company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probably the company will be required to settle the obligations, and a reliable estimate can be made of the obligations. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
