| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These critical accounting judgements and estimations are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The critical judgements made by management that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
Valuation of investment property
The company is in the process of developing a property that will be held to earn rental income and for capital appreciation. Management has exercised judgement in determining which costs are directly attributable to bringing the property to the condition necessary for its intended use.
At the reporting date, the property under construction is carried at cost. Management does not consider there to be any indicators of impairment.
On completion, the property will be transferred to investment property and will be measured at fair value in accordance with FRS 102 Section 16. The fair value will be determined by an independent valuer. Until that time, any estimation uncertainty relates primarily to the total cost to complete and potential fluctuations in market values at completion. |
