| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The company is not subject to any significant judgements or 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:- |
| Freehold Buildings | 3% on cost less residual value |
| Portable buildings | 5 years straight line |
| Plant and machinery | 15% reducing balance |
| Fixtures and Fittings | 15% reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | 15% reducing balance |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other cost incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using first-in, first-out formula. |
| Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate on all shop or workshop stock. The cost of all caravan or motorhome stock is written back to reflect any damage or obsolescence. |

| 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 |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. |
