1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Levins & Scott Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The

company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

The financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12

'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company

becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statement, when there

is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis

or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction

price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest

method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the

present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as

receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of

impairment at each reporting end date. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is recognised in profit or

loss. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the

current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not

previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or

are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of

the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference

shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes

a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts

discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not

amortised.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or

cancelled.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion

of the company.

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.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2018 - NIL).
