Measurement Base

The accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of financial performance and financial position on an historical cost basis have been followed.

Accounting Policies Common To All Activities

a) Depreciation

Depreciation has been provided on all tangible fixed assets other than freehold land on the following basis and at the following rates which amortise the cost of the asset over their economic lives.

Fixed Assets:

Buildings

  • concrete 1% straight line
  • brick 2% straight line
  • wooden 2.5% straight line

Motor Vehicles 18% to 31.2 % diminishing value

Plant & Equipment 10% to 60.0% diminishing value

Depreciation has been charged on a monthly basis on assets acquired and which became operational during the month.

b) Income Tax

The income taxation expense charged against the operating surplus for the year is the estimated liability in respect of that operating surplus and is calculated after allowance for permanent differences. Deferred Taxation is calculated on the comprehensive basis using the liability method (see Note 3). Future tax benefits attributable to tax losses or timing differences are only realised when there is virtual certainty of realisation.

c) Valuation of Assets

Land is stated at cost, all other fixed assets at cost less accumulated depreciation.
