The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

| Short leasehold | - | Over the term of the lease

| Plant and machinery | - | 25% on cost and 12.5% on cost

| Motor vehicles | - | 25% on cost

| Stocks

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

| Financial instruments

| Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Deferred tax

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

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The company operates both a defined benefit and defined contribution pension scheme and the defined benefit scheme has been closed to new entrants.

| The defined benefit scheme assets and liabilities are shown in the balance sheet and interest on pension scheme liabilities is charged to the profit and loss account. Actuarial gains and losses are reported in the statement of total recognised gains and losses.
