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.

The accounts are prepared rounded to the nearest pound sterling.

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the UK GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Work in Progress

See below for detailed policy on Work in Progress.

Turnover

Turnover is the total amount receivable by the company in the ordinary course of business with outside customers for the goods supplied and services provided excluding VAT. On long term contracts the estimated sales value of work performed in the period is included.

Stocks & work in progress

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

Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.

Long-term work in progress is taken to be that on contracts which exceed one year in duration or whose activity falls into different accounting periods and they are material to the activity of the period. Where it is considered that the outcome of a long-term contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty before its conclusion, the prudently calculated attributable profit is recognised in the profit and loss account as the difference between the recorded turnover and attributable contract costs incurred to date in the accounting period. Where it is considered that the outcome of a long-term contract cannot be assessed with reasonable certainty before its conclusion no profit is recognised on such a contract during an accounting period prior to its completion. Where there are foreseeable losses on a contracts then provision is made for these losses by setting them off against costs within work in progress and then providing for any excess within creditors. Where contracts are not long-term in nature revenue is recognised such that the right to consideration has accrued on a part completed contract.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are recognized at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible

preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognized in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Short-term debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at

transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognized in the income statement in other perating

expenses.

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.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
