1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

The Garden And Home Trading Company 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 (£).

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.

Related party exemption

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The

Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party

transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Turnover

Turnover represents the invoiced value of goods sold, net of value added tax. Sales are recognised as turnover

on dispatch to customers.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods

have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is

probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred

or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Goodwill

Purchased goodwill representing the excess of fair value of the consideration given and fair value of the

separable net assets acquired, arising on the purchase of trade and assets, is capitalised. Positive goodwill is

amortised to nil by equal instalments over its estimated useful life which is 20 years, due to the economic value

of the brand names and/or customer relationships which have been acquired.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any provision for impairment in value.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful

life

Plant and machinery

- 33.3% on cost

Fixtures and fittings

- 33.3% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and

the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit and loss.

At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets

have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any

affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower,

the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised

immediately in profit or loss.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate

of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment

loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in

profit or loss.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow

moving items.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over

its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss.

Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of FRS 102 Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' to all of its

financial instruments.

A basic financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability

or equity instrument of another entity.

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. Trade and other debtors and amounts

owed to group undertakings are measured at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to

be received.

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date with any impairment loss

being recognised in profit and loss.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans and loans to group companies or connected parties are

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.

Bank and other loans and hire purchase contracts are initially measured at the present value of future payments,

discounted at a market rate of interest, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trade creditors are measured at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the

lease.

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.

Going concern

The directors believes that the company has sufficient trade and financial resources to continue in operational

existence for the foreseeable future.

Thus the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements has been adopted.

Employee benefits

The cost of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and as an expense, unless those costs are

required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are

received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to

terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
