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.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Changes in accounting policies
During the year the directors reclassified various properties owned by the company from freehold to investment property. This change was reflected in the current and prior year balance sheet, there was no effect on the profit and loss or retained earnings of the company in either year and as a result the prior year balance sheet is not shown as restated. Directors believe this classification more accurately reflects the operations of the company.
