GLASGOW INCOME TRUST PLC
Notes to the Financial Statements
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The principal accounting
policies are as follows:
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except that
investments and derivative financial instruments are stated at their fair value.
(b) Investments
At 1 October 2005, the Company designated all its investments into the financial
assets at fair value through profit and loss category. The fair value of
investments is based upon their quoted market bid price at close of business on
the balance sheet date.
(c) Gains and losses on investment transactions
Gains and losses arising on sales of investments are taken to realised capital
reserve. Changes in the fair value of investments are recognised in the income
statement through the unrealised capital reserve.
(d) Income and expenditure
Dividends on equity investments are credited to revenue on the date when the
investment is first quoted ex-dividend at the amount receivable without any
attributable tax credit.
Interest income from certain fixed interest securities is recognised in the
income statement as it accrues, using the effective interest rate of the
instrument calculated at the acquisition date. Interest income includes the
amortisation of any discount or premium or other differences between the initial
carrying amount of the interest-bearing instrument and its amount at maturity
calculated on an effective interest rate basis.
Interest from deposits, interest payable and expenses of management are dealt
with on an accruals basis.
The finance costs of borrowings and the fee payable to the Company's managers
are charged partly to capital and partly to revenue in proportion to the
expected long-term split of returns in the form of capital gains and income from
the Company's entire investment portfolio. All other expenses of management are
charged to revenue.
The Company has in place medium-term funding in the form of zero coupon finance
through a series of option transactions on the FTSE 100 Index. These options are
classed as derivative financial instruments and are shown separately at their
fair values on the face of the balance sheet. Movements in the fair value of
these instruments are recognised in the income statement and charged against the
unrealised capital reserve.
Underwriting commission is taken to revenue, unless any shares underwritten are
required to be taken up, in which case the commission received is deducted from
the cost of the investment.
