FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2014
1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
|
|
The full financial statements, from which these abbreviated accounts have been extracted, have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of the investment properties and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of rent received exclusive of Value Added Tax. Where rents have been received in advance, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
|
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Investment properties are included in the Balance sheet at their open market value in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008) and are not depreciated. This treatment is contrary to the Companies Act 2006 which states that fixed assets should be depreciated but is, in the opinion of the directors, necessary in order to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation.
|
|
|
A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
