Accounting policies
Company information

Kilspindie Golf Club Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is The Clubhouse, Aberlady, East Lothian, EH32 0QD.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Prior period error

The directors have reviewed the classification of costs within the statement of income and retained earnings. As a result, they have determined that £293,317 of staff costs and professionals’ retainer, previously included within cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2025, are more appropriately presented within administrative expenses.

 

This has resulted in a reclassification within the profit and loss account; however, there is no impact on the overall profit for the year or on the balance sheet.

1.3
Going concern

The directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the basis of going concern.true At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months. In making their assessment the directors have considered current year results, projections, membership levels and the cash available.

1.4
Income and expenditure

Monies are recognised on receipt with the exception of subscription income and visitors' deposits which are deferred on receipt and recognised in the year to which they relate.

 

Entry fees are fully recognised in the first year of membership.

 

Nomination fees are deferred until the individual joins the Club at which point these are offset against the membership subscription. These are not refundable.

 

All members pay a membership levy onto a prepaid card. Any monies paid onto the prepaid cards which is not utilised by 31 December are shown within creditors.

1.5
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Accounting policies (continued)
- 3 -

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Outbuildings
7 years straight line
Clubhouse improvements
Over life of lease
Course equipment
4 years straight line
Clubhouse fixtures & fittings
15% straight line

Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to surplus or deficit.

1.6
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1.7
Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

1.8
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

1.9
Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

 

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price including transaction costs.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.10
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

 

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.11
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12
Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

1.13

New or revised Financial Reporting Standards

Amendments to FRS 102 introduced by the Period Review 2024.

 

The amendments to FRS 102 are applicable for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The directors have opted not to adopt these amendments early, as such, the amendments will be implemented for the accounting year ending 31 December 2026.

 

The most significant amendments are the replacement of Section 23, now renamed ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, and Section 20 ‘Leases’. The other less significant changes are not currently expected to have a material impact. The new revenue and leasing requirements seek to provide greater consistency and alignment with International Financial Reporting Standards, namely IFRS 15 and IFRS 16.

 

The company is currently planning for the implementation of these changes.

 

Under the new lease accounting requirements these changes will be applied using the modified retrospective approach which avoids the restatement of comparative figures. The implementation of the changes would see leased assets recognised as Right-of-Use assets on-balance sheet, with a lease liability recognised based on the discounted value of any future commitments, plus payments related to optional extension periods if considered reasonably certain. Exemptions to this approach will be considered for certain short-term leases or low-value assets.

 

Under the new revenue accounting requirements, management expects these changes to be applied using the modified retrospective approach which avoids the restatement of comparative figures.

 

Management are reviewing the current and expected future revenue transactions to determine the necessary performance obligations, transaction prices, and overall recognition and presentation to ensure compliance with the changes.

 

As at the date of signing the financial statements, and given the changes relate to future periods, it has been deemed impractical to determine the amounts involved.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Useful lives of fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over a period to reflect their estimated useful lives. The applicability of the assumed lives is reviewed annually, taking into account factors such as physical condition, maintenance and obsolescence.

Impairment of fixed assets

Fixed assets are also assessed as to whether there are indicators of impairment. This assessment involves consideration of the economic viability of the purpose for which the asset is used.
