1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Beckworth Financial Services Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. 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 the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by certain assets held at fair value as set out below.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements contain information about Beckworth Financial Services Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover represents net fees and commission, and is recognised when services are provided.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Plant and machinery

-

15% on reducing balance

Computer equipment

-

25% on cost

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.

Investment property

Investment property is initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the income statement. In accordance with FRS 102 investment property is not depreciated.

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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

The company also makes pension contributions on behalf of the company director to a personal pension plan. Actual contributions paid in the year are charged to the profit and loss account.

Fixed asset investments

Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the income statement.

Financial instruments

i) Financial assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

At the balance sheet date financial assets are assessed for evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

ii) Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:

i) Valuation of investment properties

The company carries its investment property at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss. The company purchased both properties in the past two years and the directors consider the cost to be a reasonable estimate of the current fair value. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of investment property are further explained in note 7.
