SOLAR QUARTZ TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is a non-reporting entity because there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. The financial statements are therefore special purpose financial statements that have been prepared in order to meet the needs of members
The financial statements a have been prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of the members.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the notes. The accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a. Income Tax
The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income). The company does not recognise deferred tax assets or liabilities.
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income and is measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment
All property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and are depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis. Depreciation commences from the time the asset is available for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the useful life of the improvements
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount.
f. Investments
Investments include equity securities (ie shares) of listed or unlisted entities. The company recognises and measures these investments at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
g. Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the association reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised in the income and expenditure statement.

j. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within current liabilities on the balance sheet.
k. Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the value of consideration receivable after taking into account and trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present value when recognising revenue
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method, which for floating financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
