Notes to the Financial Statements
Statutory Information
| Leather Connection Limited is a private limited company, limited by shares, domiciled in England and Wales, |
| registration number 05003870. |
2nd Floor, Clyde Mill
Stewart Street
Bolton
Lancashire
BL1 3PA
| The presentation currency is £ sterling. |
Basis of preparing the financial statements
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A of Financial |
| Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the |
| Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical costs convention as |
| modified by the revaluation of certain assets. |
Revenue recognition
| Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by the company, net of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. |
Goodwill
| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 0, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 0 years. |
Property, plant and equipment
| Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis: |
Plant and machinery
Computer equipment
Motor vehicles
Fixtures and fittings
| No depreciation is provided on the company''s freehold properties since in the opinion of the directors the expected |
| useful lives are sufficiently long and the estimated residual values are sufficiently high that any such depreciation |
| would be immaterial. The directors undertake an annual impairment review of these properties. |
Investment property
| Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value at the balance sheet date. The resulting aggregate surplus or deficit is transferred to a revaluation reserve. Depreciation is provided only on those investment properties which are leasehold and where the unexpired lease term is less than 20 years. Although this accounting policy is in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015), it is a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the directors compliance with the standard is necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation or amortisation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount of this which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified. |
Inventories
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. |

Foreign currencies
| Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All foreign exchange differences are included to the profit and loss account. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
| Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account on a method giving a constant rate of return on the balance outstanding. |
