2Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with
FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as
applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).

Turnover policy
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of
discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and
from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover
from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the
contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for
work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

Other accounting policies
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any
impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially
recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at
amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for
bad and doubtful debts.

Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans
and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction
costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest
method.

Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation
at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be
transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Pensions
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 in which they relate.

3Company limited by guarantee
