Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts
for the year ended 30th September 2015


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of rents and consultancy fees.

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

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

Investment properties
In accordance with SSAP 19, (i) investment properties are revalued annually and the aggregate surplus or deficit
is transferred to a revaluation reserve, and (ii) no depreciation or amortisation is provided in respect of freehold
investment properties and leasehold properties with over 20 years to run.

The requirement of the Companies Act 1985 is to depreciate all properties, but that requirement conflicts with the
generally accepted accounting principle set out in SSAP 19. The director considers that this accounting policy
results in the accounts giving a true and fair view.

Depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount which might
otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified. In the event of a permanent diminution
in value, the shortfall against original cost would be provided for in the profit and loss account.
