| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| The Lewes Pastry Company Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of sale. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets held for the Company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended by management. |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| Plant and machinery | - | straight line over 5 years |
| Impairment review |
| At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Stocks consist of savouries and confectionary, ambient goods including coffee, tea and preserves and perishables such as milk and cheese. |
| Financial instruments |
| The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other debtors and creditors, bank loans, third party loans, related party loans and investments in non-puttable shares. |
| For financial assets measured at amortise cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
| For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and 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 balance sheet date. |

| 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. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| 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 plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further obligations. |
| The contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a creditor in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. |
