Its registered office is Church View Chambers, 38 Market Square, Toddington, Bedfordshire, England, LU5 6BS and its principal place of business is Eagle House, Unit 4, Eagle Centre Way, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU4 9US.

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.

Turnover
Revenue (also described as sales or turnover) is the value of goods (net of VAT) provided to customers during the year, plus the value of work (net of VAT) performed during the year with respect to services.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised on the sale of goods when the goods are delivered and title has passed, and is recognised on the provision of services on a percentage degree of completion basis calculated by reference to the time expended compared to the total anticipated time.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 15% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

The cost of tangible fixed assets includes only expenditure directly incurred in bringing the assets into working condition for their intended use. Borrowing costs are not capitalised.

Taxation
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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 (including fair value adjustments) that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date except that a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is regarded as recoverable. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rate that is expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse.
