2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is accounted for as revenue when, and to the extent that, the company obtains a right to consideration in exchange for its performance of its obligations under the sales contract with the customer. The amount reported as revenue is the fair value of the right to consideration - usually the price specified in the contractual arrangement net of discounts and net of VAT, and after any allowance for credit risk and other uncertainties. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. |
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 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. |
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. |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
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. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual contact that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
