The company's cash requirements and ability to pay its liabilities as they fall due will bet met for at least the next 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Short leasehold | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Stocks |
Stock is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Where stock is held on a consignment basis and the company does not have the substantial risks and rewards of stock ownership, no value is attributed to consignment stock held or recorded throughout the year and at the balance sheet date. |
Financial instruments |
Basic financial instruments comprise trade and other debtors, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other creditors and balances with related parties. |
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest |
Basic financial instruments which constitute financing transactions are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
Unlisted fixed asset investments are stated at historical cost less any provision for impairment. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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 |
Monetary 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. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. |
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. |
Leasing commitments |
Leases where substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the company are treated as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Provisions |
A provision is recognised in the Balance Sheet when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. |
