1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Sweetbird Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods and commission from sale of lottery and bus and rail tickets excluding value added tax .The comparative figures have been restated to show the net commission received from these activities, as previously these were shown as "gross". However net commission from lottery and travel cards are a better representation of the economic benefits of these transactions where they act as agents. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2002, being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of twenty years. New goodwill acquisition are being amortised over five years, as the estimated useful life on news agents and tobacconists has reduced considerably due to intense competition from big super markets chains. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery etc | - |
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 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. |
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. |
