Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts for the period ended 29 September 2016

1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention modified to include the revaluation of freehold land and buildings and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Compliance with accounting standards
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which have been applied consistently (except as otherwise stated).

Turnover policy
Turnover represents the amounts recoverable on the property development project.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Assets under construction
Plant and machinery 25% straight line
Motor vehicles 20% reducing balance

Finance and other development related costs are capitalised as incurred.

Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value. Depreciation is provided only on the those investment properties which are leasehold and where the unexpired lease term is less that 20 years.

Although this accounting policy is in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008), it is a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the directors compliance with the standard is necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation or amortisation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount of this which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified.

Other accounting policies
Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.
