3. Accounting policies
3.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
3.2 Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis the validity of which depends on future profitable trading and the support of the directors. Should the company be unable to continue trading, adjustments would be necessary to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amount, to provide for further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets.
3.3 Transition to FRS 102
The entity transitioned from previous UK GAAP to FRS 102 as at 1 December 2015. Details of how FRS 102 has affected the reported financial position and financial performance is given in note 11.
3.4 Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of goods and services net of value added tax, rebates and discounts. Sales of goods are recognised when the company has delivered the goods and services to the customer.
3.5 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
3.6 Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
3.7 Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Improvements to property
-
10% straight line

25% reducing balance
3.9 Stocks
