NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

for the year ended 31 December 2015


1 Accounting policies
  The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective 8 April 2008).

Financial instruments:
Investments are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence that the company may not be able to collect all amounts recorded within the balance sheet. The costs of impairment of amounts due from group undertakings are recorded within expenses.
 
2 Investments (fixed assets)
  Investments all relate to amounts due from group undertaking and are non-interest bearing, have no fixed terms of repayment and their carrying value approximates to their fair value. Amounts due from group undertaking are not overdue for repayment and are not considered to be impaired. Amounts have been included in fixed assets in the balance sheet to reflect the expected repayment timing at the respective balance sheet date. Further details on amounts due from group undertaking are disclosed in note 6.

Given the counterparties of amounts due from group undertaking, management considers the company’s exposure to credit risk to be minimal. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the asset shown above.

The company does not hold any collateral as security. The amounts due from group undertaking are denominated in sterling.

4 Profit and loss account

5 Transactions with directors
  The directors believe that their services to the company are incidental to their role as executives for other group companies and therefore consider that they receive no remuneration in respect of qualifying services to this company (2014: £nil).
