| Castle Marinas Limited |
| Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts |
| for the year ended 30 September 2014 |
|
| 1 |
Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015). |
|
|
Going concern |
|
The directors consider the company to be a going concern as it has the support of its ultimate controlling party who have confirmed its loan is not due for repayment within 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements, in accordance with the loan agreement. It also has the continued support of its bankers following a new bank loan agreement being signed in December 2013. |
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover represents intercompany management charges receivable from subsidiary undertakings net of value added tax. |
|
|
Depreciation |
|
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives. |
|
|
Furniture and fittings |
20% straight line |
|
Office equipment |
33% straight line |
|
|
Group Accounts |
|
The financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. The company and its subsidiary undertaking comprise a smallsized group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions provided by section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into account taxation deferred.
Current tax is measured at amounts expected to be paid using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
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 the company anticipates making sufficient taxable profits in the future to absorb the reversal of the underlying timing differences. Deferred tax balances are not discounted. |
|
|
Valuation of Investments |
|
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less any provision for impairment. Investments held as current assets are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
|
|
Finance costs |
|
Finance costs associated with the issue of debt are carried forward and charged to profit over the term of the debt so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. |
|
|
Pensions |
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. |
