2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised in the Income Statement, net of discounts and value added tax,
when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In general this occurs
when vehicles or parts have been supplied or when a service has been completed.

Incentives received from manufacturers in respect of target achievements are accounted for as a deduction from
the cost of the vehicles or parts to which they relate.

Commission income is accounted for on a receivable basis.
2.3. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 3% Straight line
Leasehold 3% Straight line
Plant & Machinery 25% Reducing balance
Motor Vehicles 25% Reducing balance
Fixtures & Fittings 25% Reducing balance
Computer Equipment 25% straight line
Freehold land is not depreciated.
2.4. Investment Properties
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in
fair value is recognised in the Income Statement.

2.5. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

Consigned vehicles, which due to the significant risks and responsibilities of ownership passing to the company
are regarded effectively as being under the control of the company, are included within stocks on the Statement
of Financial Position although legal title has not passed to the company. The corresponding liability is included
within trade creditors and is secured directly on those vehicles.

2.6. Financial Instruments
The company has basic financial instruments:-
Debtors
Debtors are measured at transaction price less any impairment.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank and other loans, are measured at amortised cost.
2.7. Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and defened tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to
the extent that it relates to items recognised in Other Comprehensive lncome or directly in Equity.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
reporting date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different ftom
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 defened 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.

2.8. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.
