| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: |
| the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; |
| the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
| the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and |
| the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transition can be measured reliably. |
| Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and legal title has passed. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2013, it has been fully amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years. |
| Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful economic life. The useful economic life is assessed at the date of acquisition, having regard to the expected period over which the economic benefits arising from the acquisition are expected to be realised. Where the useful economic life cannot be reliably estimated, it shall not exceed ten years. |

| Stocks |
| Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, freight, irrecoverable taxes and other directly attributable costs which are incurred by the entity in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. The cost methodology employed by the entity is the first-in first-out method. Estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell are derived from the selling price which the goods would fetch in an open market transaction with established customers less the costs expected to be incurred to enable the sale to complete. Provision is made for slow-moving and obsolete items of stock. Such provisions are recognised in profit or loss. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and 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 profit or loss. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Debtors |
| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
| Creditors |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Interest income |
| Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. |
| 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. |

| 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 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. |
