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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Significant judgements - going concern
When preparing the financial statements, the director has assessed whether there are significant doubts about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, particularly as there are net current liabilities. There are no material uncertainties of which the director is aware in making his assessment.

Other creditors include £61,413 owed to the director and his wife and they have indicated that repayment will only be sought when cash flow and profitability allow. Therefore, the director considers that the company has sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. As such, the director is satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future and he continues to
adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.

Income recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
