Abbreviated Company Accounts - AKT ENGINEERING LIMITED

1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
The full financial statements, from which these abbreviated financial statements have been extracted, have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006.

Turnover policy
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales
taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
 the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
 the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually
associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
 the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
 it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
 the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are
provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following
conditions are satisfied:
 the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
 it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
 the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured
reliably; and
 the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets
less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the applicable method outlined
below..
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Freehold buildings - 2% straight line
Freehold land - nil
Plant and machinery - 15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 15% reducing balance
Office equipment - 15% reducing balance
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted
prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting
date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount
and are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

Valuation information and policy
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less
costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work
in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.
At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying
amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is
recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are
measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank
loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other accounting policies
Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are
recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at
an annual general meeting. Dividends on shares recognised as liabilities are recognised as expenses and classified within interest payable.

Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive
obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Profit and loss account in the year that the Company
becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance sheet.

Current and deferred taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and
loss account, except that a change attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as
other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company
operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not
reversed by the Balance sheet date, except that:
 The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be
recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
 Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax
allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of
business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
