| Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts |
| for the Year Ended 31 July 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 amounts receivable for services rendered during the |
| year, exclusive of value added tax. |
| Goodwill |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold property | - |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| 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. |
| Investment properties are not depreciated and are valued at open-market |
| value. This represents a departure from the Companies Act 2006 necessary |
| to give a true and fair view. |
| Deferred tax |
| The payment of taxation is deferred or accelerated because of timing |
| differences between the treatment of certain items for accounting and |
| taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent |
| that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax |
| liabilities or other future taxable profits. Full provision for deferred |
| taxation is made under the liability method, without discounting, on all |
| timing differences that have arisen, but not reversed by the balance sheet |
| date, unless such provision is not permitted by accounting standards. |
| In accordance with such standards deferred tax is not provided for: |
| a) revaluation gains on land and buildings, unless there is a binding |
| agreement to sell them at the balance sheet date; and |
| b) gains on the sale of non-monetary assets, if the taxable gain will |
| probably be rolled over. |
| 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. |

| As described on the Balance Sheet you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2016 set out on pages three to twelve and you consider that the company is exempt from an audit. |
| In accordance with your instructions, we have compiled these unaudited financial statements in order to assist you to fulfil your statutory responsibilities, from the accounting records and information and explanations supplied to us. |
| This report is made solely to the Board of Directors of the company, as a body, |
| in accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our work has been undertaken |
| solely to prepare for your approval the financial statements of the company and |
| state those matters that we have agreed to state to the Board of Directors of |
| the company, as a body, in this report in accordance with the requirements of |
| the Institute of Financial Accountants. To the fullest extent permitted by law, |
| we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and |
| its Board of Directors, as a body, for our work or for this report. |
| It is your duty to ensure that the company has kept adequate accounting records |
| and to prepare statutory accounts that give a true and fair view of the assets, |
| liabilities and financial position of the company. You consider that the company |
| is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the year. |
| We have not been instructed to carry out an audit or a review of the financial |
| statements of the company. For this reason, we have not verified the accuracy or |
| completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have |
| given to us and we do not, therefore, express any opinion on the statutory |
| financial statements. |
