(3) Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
Basis of Preparation
|
|
| The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, except that as disclosed in the accounting policies, certain items are shown at fair value. The presentation and functional currency of the company is pounds sterling. The financial statements are presented in pound units (£) unless stated otherwise. |
|
|
Revenue recognition
|
|
| Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of chartered powerboat services in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. |
|
|
Tangible assets
|
|
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets, other than land and properties under construction, over their estimated useful lives. It should be noted that plant and machinery includes boats which are depreciated at a straight line basis rate of 10% and land and buildings includes assets depreciated at a straight line basis rate between 2% and 10%. Other depreciation rates are as follows: | | Asset class and depreciation rate | | Land and Buildings | 2% straight line | | Plant and Machinery | 20% straight line | | Short Leasehold Properties | | | Investment Properties | | | Long Leasehold Properties | | | Commercial Vehicles | | | Fixtures and Fittings | 20% straight line | | Equipment | 20% straight line | | Motor Cars | |
|
|
Investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates
|
|
| Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. |
|
|
Financial instruments
|
|
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, and loans and borrowings.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. |
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
|
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. |
|
|
Taxation
|
|
| Taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. |
|
|
|
Current Tax
|
|
| The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the income statement because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
|
|
|
Deferred Tax
|
|
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
|
|
Share capital
|
|
| Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis. |
