Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts for the period ended 30 April 2016

1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
The full financial statements, from which these abbreviated accounts have been extracted, have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of Investment Property and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).

Turnover policy
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods and services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings - 15% reducing balance

Other accounting policies
Investments

Investments held as fixed assets are shown at market value.

Investment properties

Investment properties are included in the Balance sheet at their open market value in accordance
with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015) and are not
depreciated. This treatment is contrary to the Companies Act 2006 which states that fixed assets
should be depreciated but is, in the opinion of the directors, necessary in order to give a true and
fair view of the financial position of the company.
