2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods, excluding value added tax.

Rental income is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Patents and licences are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years.

Patents & licences
The intangible assets relates to the initial costs of obtaining the premises licence. Although the licence has an unlimited legal duration, the intangible asset is being amortised over a useful life of 10 years for accounting purposes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Investment property
Investment property comprises of a long lease. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in market value is transferred to retained earnings.

Depreciation is provided in order to write off the long leasehold asset over its estimated useful life in accordance with the property, as the basis for obtaining fair value.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

In response to current economic conditions and concerns of the trading ability in the short term of the company, the Directors have carefully considered the financial risks, including an assessment of future trading projections for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, and the extent to which they might affect the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Based on this assessment, the Directors consider that the company can meet the demands of the business but if required the Directors confirm they will support the cash flow needs of the company. In addition, the company assets are assessed for recoverability on a regular basis, and the Directors consider that the company is not exposed to losses on these assets which would affect their decision to adopt the going concern basis.

In light of their proposed support the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt upon the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
