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.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
In accordance with the FRSSE the freehold investment property is revalued annually by the directors and the surplus or deficit is transferred to the revaluation reserve. No depreciation is provided in respect of the freehold investment property. The Companies Act 2006 requires all properties to be depreciated. However, this requirement conflicts with the generally accepted accounting principle set out in FRSSE. The directors consider that, because the property is not held for consumption, but for its investment potential, to depreciate it would not give a true and fair view and that it is necessary to adopt FRSSE in order to give a true and fair view.

If this departure from the Act had not been made, the profit for the financial year would have been reduced by depreciation. However, the amount of depreciation cannot reasonably be quantified, because depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.

Other accounting policies
Foreign currency translation
The company has chosen to present its financial statements in its local currency, the Euro. Assets, liabilities, revenues and costs expressed in foreign currencies are translated into Euro at rates of exchange ruling on the date on which transactions occur, except for:
(i) monetary assets and liabilities which are translated at the rate ruling at the balance sheet date (other than those in (ii) below); and
(ii) transactions to be settled at a contracted rate and trading transactions covered by a related or matching forward contract which are translated at those contracted rates.
Differences arising on the translation of such items are dealt with in the profit and loss account.

Going concern
The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. The directors consider this to be appropriate as they have received assurance from the company's shareholder, that they will continue to make funds available to the company for the foreseeable future and will continue to meet the company's obligations to other creditors as and when they fall due.
