2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
TURNOVER |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods and services supplied to customers during the year, excluding value added tax. |
GOODWILL |
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. |
The assets are reviewed for impairment if there are any factors that indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. |
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS |
Improvements to property - 2% on cost |
Plant & machinery etc - 10% to 25% on reducing balance |
Amounts written off each asset over the estimated useful life represent cost less residual value. |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. |
STOCKS |
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Cash |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short term high liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. |
Trade Debtors |
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for the sale of goods and services performed in the ordinary course of business. |
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price and represent the full value of the goods and services charged to customers, including any amounts charged on for third parties. |
Trade Creditors |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. |
Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have conditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date they are represented as non current liabilities. |
Borrowings |
Interest bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the statement of financial activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. |
Provisions and contingencies |
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
TAXATION |
Taxation for the year 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 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. |

HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to 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. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION |
In accordance with the principle of revenue recognition, income is recognised as the right to consideration through performance of contractual obligations and is included in the financial statements when the company is legally entitled to the income. |
