| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| 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 |

| Investment property |
| The property held by the group is classed as an investment property. No depreciation has been charged and freehold property is stated at open market value at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from the changes in the fair value of the investment property are included in the Income Statement for the period in which they arise. |
| Stocks and work-in-progress |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realiseable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and applicable variable selling expenses. Work-in-progress in relation to a construction project, is valued at costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |

| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |

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. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial assets, which include investments, stock and work in progress, debtors, and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price, and are subsequently carried at cost. Basic financial liabilities, which include creditors, loans and borrowings, are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently carried at cost. |
