CUTTHORPE MANAGEMENT SERVICES LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows.
The depreciation rates used are:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of
financial assets and liabilities such as bank and cash balances, trade and other accounts receivable
and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to and from related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans
and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the transaction price and
subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable
or receivable within one year, typically trade payables and receivables, are measured, initially and
subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or
received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction,
the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow
discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised
cost.
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 amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
