1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
|
|
|
The full financial statements, from which these abbreviated accounts have been extracted, have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).
|
|
|
|
The company is the parent undertaking of a small group and as such is not required by the Companies Act 2006 to prepare group accounts. These financial statements therefore present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods and services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
|
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
|
|
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is not charged on freehold land. Depreciation on other tangible fixed assets is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of those assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.
|
|
|
|
Leasing and hire purchase
|
|
|
|
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Profit and Loss Account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Profit and Loss Account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the period until the date the rent is expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation.
|
|
|
|
A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
|
2.TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Included in land and buildings is freehold land at cost of £149,409 (2015 - £149,409) which is not depreciated.
