These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Going concern

The directors acknowledge the potential impact of the global coronavirus pandemic and believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook created by the pandemic. The directors believe the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence such that they believe the continued use of the going concern basis to be appropriate.
