| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis: |
| Buildings | - 1% per annum |
| Plant & machinery | - 10% reducing balance |
| Fixtures and fittings | - 10% reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | - 20% reducing balance |
| Motor Vehicles | - 20% reducing balance |
| At each statement of financial position date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
| It is the company's policy to keep the freehold buildings in a good state of repair. The condition of buildings are constantly monitored and repairs are undertaken to ensure that the properties do not fall into a state of disrepair.The estimated depreciation charge on buildings is 1% per annum. As such, this charge is only accounted for, if and when the amount becomes material to the financial statements. The directors are satisfied that this treatment is appropriate for the financial statements. |
| REVALUATION OF TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS |
| Tangible fixed assets are recognised initially at cost and subsequently at market value based on the amount at which the asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable parties at arm's-length. Land is not depreciated. Properties are revalued according to market conditions at the year-end. Unrealised gains and losses on revaluation is only realised on disposal of the asset. |
| 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. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Trade and other debtors |
| Trade and other debtors that are receivable within one year and do not constitute a financing transaction are recorded at the undiscounted amount expected to be received, net of impairment. |
| CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. |
| TRADE AND OTHER CREDITORS |
| Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. |
