1	Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Turnover

Turnover represents amounts chargeable in respect of the sale of goods and services to customers.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class	Depreciation method and rate
Freehold land	Nil
Freehold buildings	2% straight line
Other tangible assets	25% reducing balance

Investment properties

Investment properties are revalued annually at their open market value in accordance with FRSSE (effective April 2008). The surplus or deficit is transferred to a revaluation reserve except where the deficit is deemed to be permanent and reduces the property below it's historical cost, in which case it is taken to the profit and loss account. The treatment as regards the company's investment properties may be a departure from the requirements of the Companies Act concerning depreciation of fixed assets. However, these properties are not held for consumption but for investment and the directors consider that systematic annual depreciation would be inappropriate. The accounting policy adopted is therefore necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation or amortisation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete, damaged stock and slow moving stocks. Net realisable value is based on selling price less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs. Cost is based on using the anticipated convention set out in HS232 to arrive at deemed costs where actual costs are not ascertainable.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised, without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes, which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as required by the FRSSE. Deferred tax is measured at the rates that are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on the tax rates and law enacted at the balance sheet date.

Hire purchase and leasing

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions

The company pays into defined contribution pension schemes. Contributions are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which they become payable in accordance with the rules of the schemes.

4	Prior period adjustments

Freehold land and buildings have been restated to show the assets at open market value in accordance with FRSSE (effective 2008) rather than at historic cost. Freehold land and buildings were undervalued by £5,786,289 in the 2013 financial statements. The effect of this adjustment has been to increase fixed assets by £5,786,289 and increase the revaluation reserve by the same amount. In addition, a similar adjustment was made during 2013. At that time the directors considered that investment properties were undervalued by £3,257,468 which increased the revaluation reserve by the same amount.
