Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

The company owns the headlease at Bristol House, 80a Southampton Row , London WC1B 4BA which was purchased by contributions from 23 lessees of the building, who then became members of the company. The headlease was purchased on 3 April 2006 for £50,000 plus legal costs of £3,615. The balance sheet amount of £182 represents the net effect of these transactions.
