The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year in question in accordance with section 476.

Crewe Furniture Centre Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 32 Howbeck Crescent, Wybunbury, Nantwich, Cheshire, CW5 7NX.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

These financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2017 are the first financial statements of Crewe Furniture Centre Limited prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 1 October 2015. An explanation of how transition to FRS 102 has affected the reported financial position and financial performance is given in note 8.

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for rents and services provided in the normal course of business.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was 2 (2016 - 2).

The fair value of the investment property has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out at 30 September 2017 by the directors. The valuation was made on an open market value basis by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.

On an historical cost basis the investment properties would have been included at a cost of £160,707 (2016 £160,707).

Prior to the adoption of FRS102, revaluation gains on investment properties were included in a revaluation reserve.

Under FRS102, such gains are recognised in the profit and loss account, and the balances on the revaluation reserve at 1 October 2015 and 30 September 2016 (£23,793 at each date) have been transferred to the profit and loss reserve.
