2	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 FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

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 company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about John Sykes Family Investment Fund Ltd as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Going concern

The directors are not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the company to continue trading. The preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is therefore deemed appropriate.

2	Accounting policies (continued)

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Interest and dividends receivable
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the company's right to receive payments is established..

Investments in subsidiaries

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.

Entities in which the company has a long-term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.

Taxation

Tax on profit represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the profit as
reported in the profit and loss account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible
in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year.

Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and
the corresponding tax bases used to compute taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised
for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for temporary differences to
the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available to utilise the timing difference.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply in the period the
liability is settled or the asset realised. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences in which the company expects to recover or settle the underlying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
