Other accounting policies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to profit and loss account.

The financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. The company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small-sized group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions provided by 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts.

Known bad debts are written off. Specific provision is made for any estimated shortfall in recovery of advances having regard to the value of the security held. In evaluating the provisions required, no regard has been taken of the future cost of financing doubtful advances.

3Fixed assets Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value
