Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The group continued its principal activities throughout the current year, those being the provision of specialist healthcare services and trading in antiques.

The consolidated income statement shows the results of the group for the year. Turnover has risen to £20.9m from £19.1m due to a change in occupancy rates, whilst the profit before tax has seen a decrease from £1.7m to £1.6m. The profit before tax figure includes increased costs in relation to staff wages, agency costs and other rises in costs as a result of the wider economic environment which has impacted the group. The group continues to successfully monitor and manage costs increases to retain a profitable position.

The Director has considered the review of antiques stock during the year, there were a number of aquisitions and some sales have occurred, the total value of antiques stock at cost has risen by 1.9% during the year.

The balance sheet shows that the group's net assets at the year-end have risen from £20.6m to £21.8m which is due to the profits achieved for the year.

The group ended the year in a financially strong position to continue to deliver its plans going forwards.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The director considers the key risks and uncertainties facing the group to be as follows:

Competition
Competitive pressure in a market for specialist challenging behaviour services is a continuing risk for the group as a number of alternative providers exist across the UK. The group continues to mitigate for this risk by developing services which are sufficiently differentiated from the competition by means of both the behavioural models applied and the niche client groups cared for.

Funding
The services users are wholly funded by public sector sources. Consequently the group is therefore exposed to risks surrounding changes in government policies and the impact of enacted and planned reductions in spending on health and social care. This risk is mitigated by providing robust evidence of quality and service user outcomes, as well as ensuring that the group continues to contract with a wide range of funding providers. The group will continue to review and amend its cost base to counteract funding changes.

Regulatory
The group's operations are subject to an increasingly high level of regulation and scrutiny by various regulators across the UK. Inspections are largely unannounced. The failure to meet the appropriate regulations could lead to a home being placed under special measures, being subjected to enforcement notices or possibly forced to close.The homes have all been recently inspected and the inspection results have been shared with the home managers. The inspection results on the whole have been positive, although there are some action points to be taken, these are being monitored and assessed by both the director, home manager and the regulators.

Staffing
Across the UK there are shortages in some key professions which enhances the risk regarding the retention and recruitment of qualified professionals, and the risk of not having the correct resources in place for the unique and personalised levels of care our residents needs and for which we are commissioned. Staffing levels are constantly monitored within the group to ensure the correct and appropriate level of care is provided.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 requires the director to take into consideration the interests of stakeholders in their decision making. The director of the group considers they have acted in good faith and in a way in which would most likely promote the success of the group for the benefit of stakeholders.

The director engages with the group's key stakeholders (who are considered to be it's residents & their families, employees, suppliers, lenders and regulators) and their views and interests are taken into consideration when making decisions. The director has a number of ways in which he ensures that any decision made has regard to the long-term impact it may have, and the following paragraphs set out the consideration towards stakeholders in making those decisions, having regard to the need to act fairly between members and the desire to maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct.

Residents
Our purpose is to provide the best and most appropriate care to those residents based with us, helping them to achieve the best life possible. We do this by offering high levels of care in appropriate and comfortable surroundings provided by appropriately trained and resourced staff. We welcome feedback from the residents and their families, and endeavour to meet their suggestions in a timely manner, to ensure they continue to receive the service they expect and require. We continuously make investment into the care homes to keep the standards appropriate and competitive.

Employees
Our employees are fundamental to the success of the business, without them, we could not provide the care and support required for our residents. We endeavour to make the group a welcoming and worthwhile place to work whilst understanding the challenges and concerns staff working in the health and social care sector have. Regular meetings are held between senior management and employee representative to discuss matters of concern. Employees are kept well informed about the progress and position of the group by means of regular meetings.

Suppliers
Our suppliers are seen as essential stakeholders and are treated with respect by the director of the group. Continuity and availability of supply is paramount, and in return payment terms are adhered to.

Lenders
The group is committed to having a positive and transparent relationship with its lenders. The group provides regular updates to its lenders as required, including demonstration of compliance with covenants associated with facilities.

Regulators
As noted in our risks section in this report, the group operates in a clearly regulated environment. Inspections are undertaken and reports produced which are publicly available demonstrating whether or not the group is compliant in meeting regulatory requirements. Any weaknesses are taken very seriously and action plans are put into effect to correct those weaknesses identified. The action plans are shared with the regulators so they can be assured efforts are being made to improve what is already in place, and that high quality care is being provided and their regulations and procedures are being met.

Community and Environment
We understand that as a group we impact directly on the communities in which we operate and therefore we ensure all of our decision-making is supported by analysis of impacts both internal to our organisation and external. We are constantly striving to find improved ways to deliver our services and to act in an environmentally conscious manner, such as sourcing food as locally as possible, which also benefits the local economy in which the care homes reside.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The director assesses the financial risk to the group as follows:

Price risk
The group's price risk is driven by the average weekly fee rates which can be achieved, factors impacting on these can include the number of residents, whether funding is private or whether funding is from local authorities. All sales are to UK customers and the majority of suppliers are UK based.

Credit risk
The group's principal assets are bank balances, trade and other receivables, stock and tangible fixed assets. The credit risk is principally attributable to the trade receivables, these are reviewed and chased on a regular basis to ensure they are collected. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables which are estimated based on previous experience and current knowledge pertaining to the receivable. The group has not entered into any hedging arrangements in respect of risks relating to trade debtors or trade creditors.

Liquidity risk
The group continues to operate within it's agreed overdraft facilities from the bank and has continued to maintain its liquidity and sufficient working capital for ongoing operations.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Management monitor cash balances throughout the year as key performance indicators.

£ £

Cash at bank 1,964,438 2,097,457

EBITDA 2,677,965 2,571,826

Occupancy rate 63% 66%

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The group's strategy is to continually improve the quality of the services provided and to increase its capacity. This will be delivered through:

- Investment into the new development of clinical and management teams;
- development of new properties;
- refurbishment of existing properties; and
- strategic acquisitions.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

GOING CONCERN
The director has considered the group's trading and cash flows for the foreseeable future and is confident that the group does have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
As permitted by the Large and Medium Sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008, certain matters which are required to be disclosed in the Directors' report have been omitted as they are included in the Strategic Report.

The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

23 October 2024

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Ovalseal Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Ovalseal Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
_
In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of the group's profit for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Ovalseal Limited


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Director.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page six, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Ovalseal Limited


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

1 - We enquired of management and those charged with governance about actual and potential litigation and claims in the context of the group and parent company, including review of relevant nominal ledger accounts.

2 - We obtained an understanding of laws, regulations and guidance that affect the Group and its subsidiaries, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on their operations. Key laws, regulations and guidance that we identified included the Companies Act 2006, health and safety legislation, employment legislation and Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulations..

3 - We enquired of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We also reviewed meeting minutes where available for evidence of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

4 - We reviewed both the Group's financial statement disclosures, as well as the subsidiary companies disclosures, and agreed all to supporting documentation to assess compliance with the applicable laws and regulations discussed above.

5 - We gained an understanding of the controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud. We enquired of management about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting period.

6 - The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. It was noted that as group auditors, our assessment of matters relating to non-compliance with laws or regulations and fraud differed at group and subsidiary level according to their particular circumstances.

7 - In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of controls, we performed testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.

8 - We also challenge management assumptions with regard to accounting estimates, both at group and subsidiary level.

Despite appropriate planning and performing our work in accordance with International Auditing Standards, there are always inherent limitations that non-compliance is not detected. Non-compliance with laws and regulations is often further removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements and material misstatements due to fraud can be deliberately concealed from auditors, for example through misrepresentation, forgery or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. In addition to the above, the auditors responsibilities are:
- To obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the group to express an opinion on the group financial statements;
- the auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit; and
- the auditor remains solely responsible for the auditor's opinion.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Ovalseal Limited


Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 March 2024.
Subsidiary undertakings are included using the acquisitions method of accounting. Under the method the group profit and loss account and statement of cashflows include the results and cashflows of subsidiaries from the date of acquisition and to the date of sale outside the group in the case of disposals of subsidiaries. The purchase consideration has been allocated to the assets and liabilities on the basis of fair value at the date of acquisition. No profit and loss account is presented for the company as permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Significant judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation include uncertainties at the reporting date, which may have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial periods, are discussed below.

Goodwill and residual values

The director has reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of goodwill, and in particular, the useful economic life and residual value and has concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate.

Depreciation and residual values

The director has reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes, and in particular, the useful economic life and residual values and has concluded that asset lives and residual value are appropriate.

Stock and residual values

The value comprises the direct costs of purchase and the director has reviewed these value and associated provisions to ensure they are appropriately stated in the accounts.

Provisions

The value of provisions in the accounts reflects obligations at the reporting date as a result of a past event from which it is probable the company will be required to transfer economic benefits. The director has reviewed the level of the provision and has concluded the value included in the accounts is appropriate.

Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Income recognition, which is stated net of value added tax, is dependant upon the type of income:

- The provision of care is recognised as it is earned on a periodic basis over the year.
- Income from antiques is recognised at the point of sale.

Rents received
Rents received represents the income stated net of value added tax for rents received in accordance with rental terms in the period.

Goodwill
Positive goodwill arising on acquisitions is capitalised, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful economic life up to a presumed maximum of 10 years It is reviewed for impairment at the end of the first full financial year following acquisition and in other periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset, less any residual value, over its estimated useful life.

Equipment - 33% on cost
Plant and machinery - 25% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on reducing balance, 25% on reducing balance, 20% on reducing balance and 15% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 33% on reducing balance and 25% on cost

The director has considered the requirements for depreciation on the freehold buildings and has concluded that no depreciation is required to be provided on the grounds that it would be immaterial as the estimated remaining useful economic life of the building's exceed 50 years and the land and buildings have anticipated residual values in excess of current net book values.

Assets under construction relate to land and buildings that are currently being redeveloped for the purpose of becoming care home facilities and therefore no depreciation has been provided for.

Government grants
Government grants relate to amounts received from local authorities in relation to recruitment and retention of care home staff, as well as grants in relation to helping with winter pressures within care homes. Income is recognised using the accruals model when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the company has complied with all conditions attached to the grant. In the prior year there were also amounts related to depreciation on amounts capitalised in relation to amounts received under the UK Government Covid-19 pandemic grant schemes. Amounts were capitalised in line with the terms of the grant and depreciated over their useful economic life at a rate of 33% on cost.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

The cost formula used is the purchase price including transport costs where applicable.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

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

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with
bank, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publically traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the company has a constructive or legal obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at their discounted net present value.

Bank and other borrowings
Interest-bearing bank and other borrowings are recorded at the fair value of the proceeds received. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accruals basis in the income statement using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying value of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.

Investments
Investments are recorded at cost and reviewed for impairment on an annual basis

For companies with annual profits below £50,000 the rate will remain at 19%. Marginal relief provisions will also be introduced so that, where a company's profits fall between the lower (£50,000) and upper (£250,000) limits, it will be able to claim an amount of marginal relief that bridges the gap between the lower and upper limits providing a gradual increase in the corporation tax rate.
