| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

| Basic financial assets |

| Basic financial assets, which include debtors, are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measure at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

| Impairment of financial assets |

| Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through the profit and loss account, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

| Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss.

| If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. the reversal is such that the current current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit and loss account.

| Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price.

| Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

| Derecognition of financial asset |

| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to a third party.

| Basic financial liabilities |

| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transactions, where the the debt instrument is measure at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measure at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| Derecognition of financial liabilities |

| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire, are discharged or are cancelled.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| 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 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.

| 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.

| GOVERNMENT GRANTS

| Government grants in respect of capital expenditure are credited to a deferred income account and are released to profit over the expected useful lives of the relevant assets by annual instalments.

| Grants of a revenue nature are credited to income so as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate.

| OPERATING LEASE RENTALS

| Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account as they fall due.

| INVESTMENTS

| Fixed asset investments are stated at cost unless, in the opinion of the directors, there has been an permanent diminution in value, in which case an appropriate adjustment is made.

| Current asset investments are stated at fair value with gains and losses recorded through the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise. The fair value reserve has been ring-fenced as a non-distributable reserve.
