THOMAS & FONTAINE LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02519899)

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation
of certain assets and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January
2015).

Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost
Long leasehold - 50% on cost
Plant and machinery - 20% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

Investment property
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value as estimated by the Directors.
Surpluses and deficits arising on revaluation are dealt with through the Investment Property Revaluation Reserve.

Depreciation has not been provided in respect of the property held for investment purposes. The director
considers that this accounting policy which represents a departure from the Companies Act 2006 is necessary for
the financial statements to show a true and fair view.

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

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance
sheet date.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the
balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at
the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the
period of the lease.
