These financial statements were authorised for issue by the

Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Judgements
In the application of the company's accounting policies the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The judgements (apart from those involving estimates) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows: |
- Determination of recoverability of trade debtors. A specific provision is made against certain debts where in the opinion of the directors the debt is not fully recoverable. |
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and
services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have
transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured
reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred
or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.

Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Leasehold property improvements |
20% straight line |
|
Plant and machinery |
20% - 33% straight line |
Impairment of Fixed Assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount
being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the
asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting
date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset
and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of
assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the
synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned
to those units.

Financial instruments
Classification
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Recognition and measurement
constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments
discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Impairment
impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment
loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal
does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
