The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Significant judgements and estimates

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable net of VAT and trade discounts.
The polices adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:-

Sales of Goods

Turnover from the sale of caravans, motorhomes and accessories is recognised when significant risks
and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be
measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to
the company and the cost incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured
reliably. This is usually on dispatch of the goods.

Interest, commission and rent received

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Commission and rent receivable is
recognised as the company's right to receive payment is established.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses. Cost includes cost directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less
estimated residual value, of each assets on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:-

Portable buildings5 years straight line
Plant and machinery15% reducing balance
Fixtures and Fittings15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles15% reducing balance

Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

Basic financial instruments
