1.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
chartty to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an a￿rualS basis and
has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot bè
directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the
use of resour￿5.
1.6 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
Plant and equipment
Fixtures and fittings
over 50 years
25 % on reducing balan
25Yo on reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is detemiined as the difference between the sale proceeds
and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impalrment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the L*arity reviews the ¢xrrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine
whelher 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 detemiine the extent of the impairment
loss (rf any).
1.8 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling pri￿ less costs to complete and sell. Cost
comprises direct malerials and, where applicable. direct labour costs and those overheads that have been
incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or
nominal consideration are measured at the lower of replacement cost and cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be
incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.

re￿ived.

reasonable assurance that Ihe grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

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

and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabililies that are not readily apparent from other
Sour￿$. 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
