NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and
in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods, excluding value added tax.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Freehold property - 3.33% on cost and not provided
Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in market value is
transferred to a revaluation reserve.

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

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 are differences between the company's taxable profits and it's results as stated in the accounts. Deferred tax is measured on
a non-discounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to
reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are
only recognised where their recoverability in the short term is regarded as more likely than not.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase
contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the
future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account 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 the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate.

The charge for the year is £25,205, (2015: £21,777).
