2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||||||||
Basis of preparation of financial statements | |||||||||||
Going concern | |||||||||||
The accounts have been drawn up on the going concern basis following the Directors' assessment of the company’s ability to trade for at least 12 months from the date these accounts have been approved. In conclusion, whilst there is some uncertainty, the directors' do not believe there is a material uncertainty which casts significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue to trade. | |||||||||||
If the going concern basis was not appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for additional liabilities that might arise and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets. |
Revenue recognition | |||||||||||
Revenue from contracts for the provision of garden design services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that it is probable will be recovered., stated net of trade discounts and value added tax. Revenue is recognised as contract activity progresses, in accordance with the terms of the contractual agreement and the stage of completion of the work. Revenue is reported in the period in which the services were rendered and reflects the partial performance of the company's contractual obligations where this can be measured reliably. Where recorded revenue exceeds amounts invoiced to clients, the excess is classified as income. | |||||||||||
The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. |

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
Intangible fixed assets | |||||||||||
Intangible fixed assets, other than goodwill, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. It is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful economic life. | |||||||||||
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new expectations. |
Tangible fixed assets | |||||||||||
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. | |||||||||||
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less residual value of the assets over their estimated useful lives. | |||||||||||
Office equipment | |||||||||||
Computer equipment | |||||||||||
Motor cars | |||||||||||
Plant and machinery | |||||||||||
On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in the profit and loss account, and included within administrative expenses. | |||||||||||
Financial Instruments | |||||||||||
The impairment loss for financial assets measured at cost is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. | |||||||||||

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
Impairment of non-financial assets | |||||||||||
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets (which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
Stocks are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. The carrying amount of each item of stock, or group of similar items, is compared with its selling price less cost to complete and sell. If an item of stock, or group of similar items, is impaired its carrying amount is reduced to selling price less costs to complete and sell, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset, or group of related assets, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset, or group of related assets, in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. |
Stock | |||||||||||
Stock has been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less cost to complete and sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving items. Cost comprises the cost of goods purchased valued on a first in first out basis. | |||||||||||
The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. |
Debtors | |
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. | |||||||||||

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
Leases | |||||||||||
Assets held under finance leases are recognised in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. The corresponding obligations to lessors under finance leases are treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The assets and liabilities under finance leases are recognised at amounts equal to the fair value of the assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments, determined at the inception of the lease. | |||||||||||
Minimum lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and the reduction in the outstanding liabilities using the effective interest method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liabilities. Finance charges are recognised in the profit and loss account. |
Taxation | |||||||||||
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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 taxable profits. | |||||||||||
Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. | |||||||||||
Pensions | |||||||||||
3 | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS | ||||||||||
