3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. They are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The following assets and liabilities are classified as basic financial instruments - cash at bank, debtors : amounts falling due within one year and creditors : amounts falling due within one year. They are measured at the transaction price less any known impairment, unless the arrangement indicates otherwise, in which case they would be measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at the market rate of interest.

Bank loan, and loan from the company's own retirement benefits scheme payable after more than one year are classified as basic financial instruments in accordance with FRS 102 and are also measured at the transaction price less any known impairment.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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
Pension payments, when made, are to the company's self administered scheme as recommended by the Scheme's advisers. The pension scheme was a defined benefits scheme, which transitioned into a defined contributions scheme in March 2024. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the profit and loss account if due. No contributions were due in the year.

Revenue recognition
Turnover is recognised when a contract for the sale of property becomes unconditional.

Rents receivable are recognised when under the terms of a lease agreement rental receipts become due on an accruals basis.

Bank deposit interest is recognised when it is receiveable.

Other interest is accounted for on an accruals basis relating to interest receivable during the period.
