NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

Basic financial instruments
|
The company only enters into transactions that result in basic financial instruments such as trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, cash at bank and in hand, loans to/from related parties.
Trade debtors, other debtors and loans to related parties are recognised initially at the transaction
price less attributable transaction costs. Trade creditors, other creditors and loans from related
parties are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequently
they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses
in the case of trade and other debtors, and loans to related parties.
Interest bearing borrowings, such bank loans, classified as basic financial instruments are recognised
initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a maket rate of interest. Thereafter they are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable.
