Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, notwithstanding the net current liabilities of £360,130, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The shareholders and creditors have undertaken to provide continuing support to the company which will enable it to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. As with any company placing reliance on the shareholders and creditors for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that they will not do so.
