| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Market Metals Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Revenue recognition |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied, 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 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. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over their expected useful lives as follows: |
| Plant and Machinery - 15% on reducing balance |
| Fixtures and Fittings - 15% on reducing balance |
| Motor Vehicles - 20% on reducing balance |
| Land & Buildings - 2% on cost |
| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate or if there is an indication of significant change since the last reporting date. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price. Cost includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. |
| When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amounts of any write downs to stock to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write down or loss occurs. |

| Taxation |
| The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. |
| The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
| Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount for deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recoverd. |
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or asset realised, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
| Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. |
| Foreign currencies |
| 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. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. |
