1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

E Batty (Contractors) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover

Turnover is the amount receivable, excluding value added tax, in the ordinary course of business for goods supplied as a principal and works provided. In the case of the contract work, turnover is calculated on the basis of the value of work executed during the year.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost of fixed assets by annual instalments over their expected useful lives.

The rates generally applicable are:

Improvements to leasehold property

Over the period of the lease

Motor vehicles

20% on cost

Plant and equipment

10% to 20% on cost

Stocks

Stock is stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.

Contract work in progress included in debtors is stated at net realisable value. Cumulative turnover (i.e the total turnover recorded in respect of the contract and profit and loss accounts of all the periods since inception of the contract) is compared with total payments on account. If turnover exceeds payments on account an "amount recoverable on contracts" is established and separately disclosed within debtors. If payments on account are greater than turnover to date, the excess is classified within creditors.

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

Assets acquired under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are treated as fixed assets. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term. Depreciation is charged to the profit and loss account in accordance with the normal depreciation policy over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the assets.

The corresponding lease commitments are shown as liabilities. The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease on a straight line basis.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease on a straight line basis.

Pension funding

The company is a member of a group of companies which operates a pension scheme for the benefit of the employees. The benefits under this scheme are secured under individual policies with an insurance company at a fixed rate for the life of the relevant policy. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they fall due.
