Abbreviated Company Accounts - HEATHCREST LIMITED

1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the financial reporting standards. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial statements.

Turnover policy
Turnover represents the net proceeds from rental of properties held.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:

Land and buildings freehold - Not depreciated
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 15% on a reducing balance basis
Motor vehicles - 20% on a reducing balance basis

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Valuation information and policy
Investment properties are revalued annually and are not depreciated or amortised. This treatment is a departure from the requirement of Company Law to provide depreciation on all fixed assets, which have a limited useful life. However, these investment properties are not held for consumption but for investment. The directors believe that the policy of not providing depreciation is necessary in order for the Financial Statements to give a true and fair view, since the current value of investment properties, and changes to that current value are of prime importance rather than the calculation of annual depreciation.

Increases in value are transferred to a revaluation reserve and are taken to the statement of total recognised gains or losses. Where the valuation indicates impairment in the value of the property, the impairment is transferred to the statement of total recognised gains and losses to a maximum of the sum of the previous revaluation gains. The remainder is charged to the profit and loss account.

Other accounting policies
Taxation
Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions, during the year, which are denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. The resulting exchange differences are dealt with in the profit and loss account.
