In accordance with Section 444 of the Companies Act 2006, the Income Statement has not been delivered.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

A. Rhodes (Haulage) Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The

company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of haulage contracting.

The company continued its trade in film distribution rights as a member of the Varndean Road LLP, a limited

liability partnership registered in England and Wales whose accounting period is to 31 March 2019.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates,

value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Land and buildings

-

15% on cost

Plant and machinery etc

-

20% on cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow

moving items.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance

sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from

those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that

have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the

timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they

will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held

under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases

are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element

of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the

lease.

Employee benefit trusts (ebt's)

The company has established trusts for the benefit of employees and certain of their dependants. Monies held in

these trusts are held by independent trustees and managed at their discretion.

Where the company retains future economic benefit from, and has de facto control of the assets and liabilities of

the trust, they are accounted for as assets and liabilities of the company until the earlier of the date that an

allocation of trust funds to employees in respect of past service is declared and the date that assets of the trust

vest in identified individuals.

Where monies held in a trust are determined by the company on the basis of employees' past service to the

business and the company can obtain no future economic benefit from those monies, such monies, whether in the

trust or accrued for by the company are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate.

Investments in participating interests

Normal accounting practice under 'FRS102' would be to account for the company's interest in Varndean Road

LLP as a fixed asset investment at either cost less impairment, or market value. However, the directors consider

that in order to show a true and fair view the company's share of the results of Varndean Road LLP should be

accounted for in the profit and loss account and its share of net assets be accounted for within current assets on

the balance sheet.

revaluation loss of £10,329 in the statement of comprehensive income. The total change to net assets would be
