Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts
for the year ended 30th April 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods, excluding value added tax.

Intangible fixed asset
Intangible fixed assets are valued at historical cost and are amortised over the estimated economic life of the
asset on a straight line basis as follows:

Intellectual property- 5 years

The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed for any impairment.

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

Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment - 20% and 25% straight line
Computer equipment - 25% on cost

No depreciation is provided on books, illustrations, negatives and prints since, in the opinion of the directors,
these assets do not depreciate.

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.

Negatives and prints
Where negatives and prints are included as tangible fixed assets, the cost represents identifiable amounts
incurred in the acquisition of specific photographic items and collections.

Expenditure in respect of materials, wages, commissions etc., for the creation of photographic prints and
negatives is written off through the profit and loss account as incurred.

Commissions
Commissions are provided in respect of amount due to photographers who have either been paid for the use of
their photographs since 1st May 1988, or photographers whose work has been accepted for inclusion in the
library by the company since it was acquired by Bob Thomas Holdings Limited on 1st December 1990.
