These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006.

2. Accounting policies - continued

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The company holds only basic financial instruments which comprise current asset investments, cash and cash equivalents, trade debtors, trade creditors and borrowings.

Cash and cash equivalents - these include cash in hand and deposits held with banks.

Current asset investments - these represent investments in non-puttable ordinary shares and are measured at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.

Trade debtors - these are initially recognised at the transaction price and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Amounts that are receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be receivable, net of any impairment.

Trade creditors and borrowings - these are initially measured at the transaction price and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amounts that are payable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be payable.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement.

Current taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Company contributions payable to the director's and employee's personal pension schemes are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

3. Employees and directors

The average number of employees during the year was 2 (2022 - 2 ) .

Goodwill arose on the purchase of an unincorporated business in 2010 and is now fully amortised. The goodwill on the purchase of another business in 2019 is also fully amortised. In the opinion of the director this represented a prudent estimate of the periods over which the company would derive economic benefits from these assets.
