Abbreviated Company Accounts - STRONG ENERGY SOLUTIONS LIMITED

1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities effective April 2008.

Turnover policy
Turnover represents the value of goods and services supplied by the company, excluding value added tax, other than for long-term contracts. Turnover for such long-term contracts is recognised appropriate to the stage of completion plus attributable profits, less amounts recognised in previous years. Provision is made for any losses which are foreseen.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation: Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost; Motor Vehicles - 20% on cost; Computer Equipment - 20% on cost

Intangible assets amortisation policy
Intangible fixed assets (including purchased goodwill and patents) are amortised at rates calculated to write off the assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic lives, not to exceed twenty years. Impairment of intangible assets is only reviewed where circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable.

Valuation information and policy
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost includes all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Other accounting policies
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their useful lives or the lease term, whichever the shorter. The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Research and Development Expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred. Deferred taxation is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred taxation is calculated at the rates of tax that are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences will reverse and has not been discounted.
