2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Functional currency |
The financial statements are presented in British Pounds Sterling which is the functional currency. Figures are shown to the nearest whole pound. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires the Directors to exercise judgement in applying the Companies Accounting policies. The areas requiring a higher degree of judgement, or complexity, and areas where assumptions or estimates are most significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below: |
Estimation Uncertainty |
Useful life of properties, plant and equipment |
The Company assesses the useful life of its properties, plant and equipment and estimates the annual charge to be depreciated based on this. |
Recoverability of Debtors |
The Company assesses the recoverability of Debtors on an individual basis, taking into consideration payment history, and perceived liquidity. Where it is considered that there is a higher than normal risk to the recoverability of these, provision is made against the recoverability of these debts. |
Key Judgements made in the application of Accounting Policies |
a) Exemptions taken in the transition to FRS 102 |
The Company has considered and taken advantage of the following exemptions in its application of FRS 102: |
i) The Company has not revisited previous accounting estimates. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Goodwill |
Intangible assets |

Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful |
life. |
Freehold property - 2% on reducing balance |
Plant and machinery - 25% on cost |
Computer equipment - 4% on cost |
