1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the company is able to carry

on business as a going concern, which the directors consider appropriate having regard to the

company's current and expected performance.

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance

with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Turnover

Turnover is stated net of VAT and trade discounts. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised

when the goods are physically delivered to the customer.

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.

Plant and machinery

-

15% on reducing balance

Fixtures and fittings

-

20% on cost

Motor vehicles

-

25% on reducing balance

Computer equipment

-

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.

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.
