Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets.

These financial statements are for the individual entity only.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) rounded to the nearest £1.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors are of the opinion that the Company will be able to pay its liabilities as and when they fall due.

The directors have reached this conclusion after assessing the Company's future cash and funding requirements along with budgets and medium term plans.

Turnover

Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods and amounts for motor vehicle hires, excluding value added tax.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Improvements to property

-

varying rates between 10-50% on cost

Plant and machinery

-

at varying rates between 6-50% on cost

Fixtures and fittings

-

at varying rates between 10-50% on cost

Motor vehicles

-

Freehold property

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

The net realisable value is determined using an independent vehicle database as a benchmark before the director uses his experience and judgement of the prevailing market conditions to establish a fair value of the vehicle. This is represented in the list price of the vehicles when they are made available for sale.
