Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).
Turnover
Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by the company, net of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
Where the company has partially performed its contractual obligations, it recognises revenue to the extent that it has obtained the right to consideration through its performance. The amount of revenue reflects the accrual of the right to consideration as contract activity progresses by reference to value of the work performed.
Government grants
Government grants received are credited to deferred income. Grants towards capital expenditure are released to the profit and loss account over the expected useful life of the assets. Grants received towards revenue expenditure are released to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred.
Research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure is charged to the profit and loss account in the period in which it is incurred.
Website cost
Planning and operating costs for the company's website are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company's ongoing activities are dependent upon the continued support of the directors who have undertaken to provide such support for the foreseeable future.
If the going concern basis were not appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amount, to provide for any further liabilities that may arise and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets and long term liabilities as current liabilities.
