for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    The opening balance cost or valuation of freehold land and buildings is their purchase cost and revaluation together with any incidental expenses or acquisition. In 1996 the directors revalued the freehold of the Devoncourt Hotel previously shown at nil cost. The original cost was written off against the cost of the timeshare leases. Due to the unconditional reversionary interest on the expiry of the leases in 2015, the directors had ascribed a valuation of £1,400,000. The Devoncourt Hotel has a cost in excess of £3,000,000. No depreciation has been provided on the freehold land and buildings as the residual market value of the freehold land and building exceeds the carrying value in the accounts and any depreciation charged as it is immaterial. Land and buildings Freehold Nil Fixtures, fittings & equipment 10% straight line

    Other accounting policies

    Investments Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their cost. In the opinion of the directors, the current open market value is not materially different from the book value in the financial statements.
