| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales invoiced during the year. Turnover arising from the sale of goods and services is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer.Turnover arising from the provision of services is recognised as contract activity progresses and the right to consideration is earned. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2004, has been amortised fully over its estimated useful life of ten years. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
| Stocks |
| Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all direct expenditure and appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less further costs expected to be incurred in bringing the stock to completion. |
| Financial instruments |
| The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, trade creditors, accruals, directors' loans and shareholder loans. |
| Directors' loans and shareholder loans (being repayable on demand), trade debtors, trade creditors and accruals are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. |
| Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed 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. |

| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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 balance sheet date. |
| 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. |
| Provisions |
| Provisions are set up only where it is probable that a present obligation exists as a result of an event prior to the balance sheet date and that a payment will be required in settlement that can be estimated reliably. |
| Employee benefits |
| Short term employee benefits, including holiday pay, are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period in which they are incurred. |
| Going concern |
| The directors have considered the company's financial position for a minimum period of 12 months and beyond from the date of signing these financial statements and has an expectation that the company should be in a position to continue trading in the current format for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. |
