Directors

Statement of directors' responsibilities
 
The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

2 Accounting policies
 
2.1 Basis of preparation
 
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities and the Companies Act 2006.
 
2.2 Turnover
 
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and value added tax. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. 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.
 
2.3 Tangible fixed assets
 
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:  
Land and buildingsStraight line over the term of the lease
Plant and machineryover 4 years
Fixtures and fittingsover 4 years
 
2.4 Stocks and work in progress
 
Stocks have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
 
2.5 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.
 
2.6 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.
