3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents the amounts charged to customers for goods supplied and services rendered and does not include Value Added Tax. Turnover is recognised on a strict time basis as goods are delivered and services completed.

Taxation

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods and is measured at the amounts of tax expected to be payable or recoverable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date and is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Site development	-	over the term of the site lease
Plant and machinery	-	20% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings	-	20% reducing balance

Finance leases and hire purchase contracts

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of cost and the fair value of the assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability with finance charges allocated to each period on a flat rate basis. Opeerating lease rentals are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis oveer the period of the lease.
