2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Tangible fixed assets

| Tangible assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of the assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives on a reducing balance basis.

| Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

| Plant and machinery - 20% and 25 %

| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

| Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

| Tangible assets under the revaluation model are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

| Any aggregate surplus arising from changes in fair valuation are recognised in a fair valuation reserve to the extent that they exceed a previous deficit arising, deficits exceeding prior surpluses are recognised in profit and loss.

| The unrealised cumulative gains on property revaluations are transferred to the fair value reserve net of the associated deferred taxation provided thereon, to distinguish them as unrealised equity reserves.

| Stocks

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 statement of financial position date.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.

| Long term work in progress

| For long term contract work in progress, turnover reflects costs incurred to date on the contract plus the director's best estimate of profits attributable to the work performed to date. For this purpose the director's estimates of attributable profits will included a proportion of total profits anticipated to be made on the contract, to the extent that their realisation is reasonably foreseeable, and after making provision for all future costs including possible warranty claims.

| Long-term contracts are assessed on a contract-by-contact basis and reflected in the profit and loss account by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. Long term contract balances included in stocks comprise costs incurred on long term contracts, net of amounts transferred to cost of sales, after deducting foreseeable losses and related payments on account. Costs included all direct material and labour costs incurred in bringing a contract to its state of completion at the balance sheet date, including an appropriate proportion of indirect expenses, Where payment on account exceed turnover to date, the excess is classified as a deduction from any balance on that contract in stocks, with any residual balance in excess of cost being classified within creditors an 'long-term contracts payments on account'.

| Financial instruments

| The company mainly enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to or from related parties.

| Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable on demand or within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in the case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

| Holiday pay accrual

| A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the Statement of Financial position date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement do accrued at the Statement of Financial Position date.
