STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 1 -
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Review of business
Results
The profit before taxation was £1,058,660 for the year compared with a profit of £115,385 for the previous year.
The directors believe the result represents a strong performance, particularly given the relatively tumultuous trading environment that all franchised motor dealerships faced. The directors consider the company’s response to the challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic to be exemplary.
The company remains exposed to the general economy and Government policy but believe the company is equally as well placed as its competitors to deal with any challenges.
Financial position
The directors believe that the balance sheet strength of the company gives it a secure base, which will allow further development of profits or security if the economy becomes more challenging.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
We have set out below risk factors that we believe could cause our actual future results to differ materially from expected results. However, other factors could adversely affect the results and so the factors set out below should not be considered to be a complete set of all potential risks and uncertainties.
Pandemics
The company is fully aware of the serious situation that a pandemic can cause. The company will undertake a specific risk assessment relating to any particular pandemic and will keep this assessment and any government advice under constant review. Measures highlighted in the risk assessment and government guidance will be implemented and will be communicated to all employees and customers, where relevant.
The health and safety of employees, suppliers, visitors and the community is always the company’s highest priority. Beyond the company itself, the company also consider it their duty to act responsibly and to do their part to protect society.
The company will do everything to maintain operations and to continue to support the company’s customers and partners as far as possible. The company believes it has demonstrated that it can adapt to a digital trading environment and many aspects of the company’s management can be supported by home-working, as and when required.
The company is well placed to adapt those operational matters that have increased focus during a pandemic, such as social distancing, increased hygiene and sanitization procedures, staff communication, digital trading and management via remote internet meetings.
Clearly only a limited number of organisations could withstand the most severe economic decline; the directors believe the company to have a secure financial standing, which should allow us to withstand most economic circumstances. However, a more virulent virus could have a more devastating impact on the health of the population and the general economy. Improved procedures and awareness of how to manage such a pandemic suggests the company is well placed to continue to operate in such a situation. Government support during 2020 was significant and clearly the financial impact of any pandemic is likely to be significantly affected by any future government actions.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Business conditions and the general economy
The profitability of our company could be adversely affected by a worsening of general economic conditions in the United Kingdom. Factors such as unemployment, the level and volatility of equity markets, interest rates, inflation, action taken by the UK government relating to the taxation of vehicle purchasing and fuel for cars and the availability and cost of credit could significantly affect the market for the sale of new and used motor cars. Any changes by the UK government relating to the taxation of company cars and the provision of fuel for company cars may impact on sales activity. In the case of new car sales during a period of economic downturn there is likely to be an oversupply of vehicles leading to reduced margins. Whilst a short term worsening in economic conditions in the United Kingdom should not significantly adversely impact profitability in our aftersales business, a sustained downturn over a number of years would be likely to lead to reduced profits in this area.
Franchise agreements
We operate franchised BMW and MINI motor car dealerships. Franchises are awarded to us by the manufacturers. Failure to continue to hold franchises could result in a significant reduction in profits of the company due to our inability in this situation to source new stock to sell, perform warranty repairs and display manufacturer trade marks. The last five-yearly franchise contract renewal within the UK BMW and MINI dealer network was on 1st October 2018 and the directors hold the reasonable belief that they should be successful in renewing the next franchise agreements.
Vehicle manufacturer dependencies
We depend on the vehicle manufacturers' financial condition, marketing, vehicle design, production and distribution capabilities, reputation, management and industrial relations. A failure by a manufacturer in the areas noted could lead to significant losses especially in the case of the insolvency of a manufacturer. Vehicle manufacturers provide sales incentives, warranty and other programs that are intended to promote new vehicle sales. A withdrawal or reduction in these programs would have an adverse impact on our business. The directors are not aware of any significant issues with respect to the vehicle manufacturer dependency relationship.
Liquidity and financing
Liquidity and financing risks relate to our ability to pay for goods and services required to trade on a day to day basis. We have three main sources of financing facilities which are, from banks and BMW Financial Services (GB) Limited by way of committed borrowing facilities and from suppliers by way of trade credit. A withdrawal of financing facilities or a failure to renew them as they expire could lead to a significant reduction in the trading ability of the company. The directors are not aware of any reason to suggest that the company will have any issues with regards to liquidity and financing.
Regulatory compliance risk
The Company is subject to regulatory compliance risk which can arise from a failure to comply fully with the laws, regulations or codes applicable, for example those set out by the Financial Conduct Authority. Non compliance can lead to fines, enforced suspension from sales of general insurance products or public reprimand.
Competition
We compete with other franchised vehicle dealerships, private buyers and sellers, internet based dealers, independent service and repair shops and manufacturers who have entered the retail market. We compete for the sale of new and used vehicles, the performance of warranty repairs, non warranty repairs, routine maintenance business and for the provision of spare parts. The principal competitive factors in service and parts sales are price, customer database, familiarity with a manufacturer's brands and models and the quality of customer service. We also compete with a range of financial institutions in arranging finance for vehicle purposes. Some of our competitors may have greater resources and lower overheads and sales costs. This could lead to our failure to be able to compete and result in a reduction in our profitability.

Reliance on certain members of management and staff
The Company is depend
e
nt on members of its senior management team and skilled personnel and the future financial well being of the Company could depend in part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled management and personnel. The loss of the service of a number of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on the business. Additionally, if we fail to recruit and retain skilled staff it may not be possible to continue to grow the business.
Failure of information systems
Our business is dependent on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our information technology and computer systems, which are vulnerable to damage or interruption from power loss, telecommunications failure, sabotage, vandalism or similar misconduct. Whilst we have put in place contingency and recovery plans in order to mitigate the impact of such failures it can never be certain that these plans could cover every eventuality or situation
.
Key performance indicators
Turnover was £50,280,342 compared to £64,103,501 in 2019, a decrease of 21.6%.
Gross Profit was £4,720,453 compared to £5,089,622 in 2019, a decrease of 7.2%. Gross Profit percentage of turnover was 9.3% compared with 7.9% in 2019.
Administrative expenses were £4,011,272 compared to £4,815,977 in 2019, a decrease of 16.7%.
Future developments
The directors look for continued profitability during 2021.
It is likely, for at least the short term future, the company will have to continue to operate with processes more highly focussed on the health and safety risks of a pandemic to our customers and staff. We will continue to regularly review our risk analyses and the directors and senior management team are committed to give this the highest priority within the daily operations of the company. The directors believe the company has adapted well to the current pandemic and will continue to do so.
Compliance with duty
This statement by the board describes how the responsibilities under s172(1)(a) to (f) of the Companies Act
2006 have been approached in the financial period ended 31st December 2020.
The directors consider that they have acted in good faith to promote the success of the company on behalf of the stakeholders, in relation to matters set out in s172 of the Act.
The stakeholders of the business include the employees, customers and suppliers of the business.
The directors monitor and review strategic objectives against long term growth plans and regular reviews at departmental and board level are held across the business in the key areas. These areas being Health, Safety, Quality and Environment, Financial Performance, Operations, Human Resources and Risks and Opportunities (HSQE).
HSQE is considered to be fundamental to the management of the business by the directors. Safe working practices that minimise environmental impact are key to the success of the business and are vitally important for our stakeholders, the communities and the environments we work in.
The fundamental principle in the governance of Halliwell Jones Limited is the clear, fair and trusting approach to all interactions with employees, customers and suppliers. This is reflected in the length of service of employees and management teams and the longevity of the relationships with our customers and suppliers.
HALLIWELL JONES LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 4 -
The company has built, and continues to grow, the business on a reputation for delivering excellent customer service. The company, through the senior management and employees, strives continuously to improve in every aspect products and services it provides, for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders.
The company enjoys good relationships with suppliers in relation to credit arrangements and takes a firm approach to debtor management. Payment terms reduce the risk to the business whilst the process for debt collection minimises the risk of non payments.
The directors have overall responsibility for delivering the company's strategy and values and for ensuring high standards of governance. The primary aim of the directors is to promote the long term sustainable success of the company to generate benefit for the stakeholders. Throughout the next financial year, the directors will continue to review, improve and challenge the engagement with all stakeholders.
The company's employees, customers and suppliers are critical to the success of the business and so it is recognised that engagement is an important aspect in those relationships.
The directors recognise and understand that it is important to keep employees informed of all matters concerning them and does this in a number of ways including meetings together with verbal and written communications. The policy of the company is to discuss with employees any issues that arise in accordance with relevant procedures or legislation.
The company has an equal opportunities policy and is committed to the principles within the policy in respect of all stakeholders.

Quantification and reporting methodology
We have followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines. We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol – Corporate Standard and have used the 2020 UK Government’s Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 7 -
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBER OF HALLIWELL JONES LIMITED
- 8 -
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Halliwell Jones Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102
The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its profit for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard
, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit
:
-
the information given in the strategic report and the directors' r
eport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements
; and
-
the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identifie
d
material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors'
r
eport
.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors'
r
esponsibilities
s
tatement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company
'
s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The
procedures we carried out and the
extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below
.
-
Enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
Enquires with management about any known or suspected instances of fraud;
-
Examination of journal entries and other adjustments to test for appropriateness and identify any instances of management override of controls;
-
Review of legal and professional expenditure to identify any evidence of ongoing litigation or enquiries
.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1
Accounting policies
Company information
Halliwell Jones Limited is a
private
company
limited by shares
incorporated in England and Wales.
The registered office is
59/61 Southport Road, Southport, PR8 5JF.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in
sterling
, which is the functional currency of the company.
Monetary a
mounts
in these financial statements are
rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
The company's activities were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic during 2020. However, the company adapted its operations to facilitate the lock-down and subsequent reopening of the motor dealership and the financial results were relatively strong, albeit this involved government support.
true
The directors have prepared detailed cash flows for a period of more than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and have considered various possible scenarios. These forecasts are regularly updated to reflect the latest available information.
Taking into account the company's funding facilities at the date of approval of these financial statements, and the forecasts referred to above, the directors have a reasonable expectation
that the
company
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus
t
he directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover is
measured
at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods provided
and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.
Revenue from the rendering of services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period provided that the outcome can be reliably estimated. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable.
1.4
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets
are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings
50 years straight line excluding land
Plant and machinery
3 to 10 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings
3 to 10 years straight line
Computer equipment
3 to 10 years straight line
Motor vehicles
4 to 5 years straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and
is credited or charged to profit or loss
.
1.5
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting
period
end date, the
company
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
1.6
Stocks
Stocks are
valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of vehicles and parts represents the purchase price plus any additional costs incurred. Where necessary, provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective stock.
Vehicles on consignment are included in stock when substantially all of the principal benefits and inherent risks rest with the company. The corresponding liability is included under creditors.
1.7
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand
are basic financial assets
and
include cash in hand
and
deposits held at call with banks
.
1.8
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset
, with
the net amounts presented in the financial statements
,
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest
method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Other financial assets
All of the company's financial assets are classed as basic financial assets.

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those
held
at
fair value through profit and loss
, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when
the company
transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans
and
loans from
fellow group companies are
initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of
the future
paymen
ts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method.
Trade creditors
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired
in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. A
m
ounts payable are classified as
current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented
as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities
All of the company's financial liabilities are classed as basic financial liabilities.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations
expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.10
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The
company’s
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the
company
has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.11
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.13
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases,
including
any lease incentives received, are charged to
profit or loss
on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease
s
asset are consumed.

1.14
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive
d
or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met
. Where a
grant does not specify performance conditions
it
is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable
. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.
1.15
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation
in the period
are included in profit or loss.
2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows:
Valuation and life of tangible fixed assets
Determining both the useful economic life and the residual value of tangible fixed assets requires an estimation of both the length of time that the company expects to use the asset for and the future selling price that the company expects to be achieved for the asset at the end of the useful economic life. These are reviewed annually on an asset by asset basis. There is not expected to be a material difference in the value of the assets given the estimations used.
Used stock valuations
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The value of all used vehicles as well as the provision for slow moving and obsolete stock can have significant influence on the stock valuation in the financial statements. A comprehensive review of the stock holding is carried out regularly.
