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

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Oxford College of English Limited as an individual company

under Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated financial statements.

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

Tangible fixed assets

Plant and machinery - 20% on a reducing balance basis

No depreciation is provided on freehold land.

Investment property
In accordance with SSAP 19 investment properties have been revalued and the aggregate surplus has been
transferred to a revaluation reserve. No depreciation is provided in respect of freehold investment properties. The
directors consider that this accounting policy results in the accounts giving a true and fair view. Depreciation is
only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount which might otherwise have been
shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.

sheet date.
