NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2015
1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
|
|
|
The full financial statements, from which these abbreviated accounts have been extracted, have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The financial statements do not include a Cash flow statement because the company, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of aggregates supplied, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised when goods are physically delivered to or collected by the customer.
|
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
|
|
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is not charged on freehold land. Depreciation on other tangible fixed assets is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of those assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10-25% reducing balance/straight line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15-33% reducing balance/straight line
|
|
|
|
Freehold buildings are maintained to a high standard by the company, the costs of which are charged to the profit and loss account. Consequently, the directors believe that the lives of the buildings are so long, and their residual values are so great when compared with the original cost at which the buildings are included in the accounts, that the annual depreciation charge would be immaterial.
Freehold land used for the extraction of aggregates is depreciated based on the rate of extraction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the period until the date the rent is expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value represents estimated selling costs less costs to sell.

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2015
1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation.
|
|
|
|
A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
