1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Compass Print Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's

registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern

The company has made a loss for the year due to continuing challenging market conditions. The directors

continue to take steps to reduce costs and are confident that the company will be profitable in future periods. At

the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has

adequate resources to meet liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Therefore the accounts are

prepared on a going concern basis.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates,

value added tax and other sales taxes.

Goodwill

Goodwill representing the excess of the consideration for an acquired business compared with the fair value of

net assets acquired is capitalised and written off evenly over 10 years as in the opinion of the directors this

represents the period over which the goodwill is effective. The useful economic lives are reviewed at the end of

each reporting period.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their

useful lives on the following bases:

Heritable property 2% straight line

Tenants improvements 20% reducing balance

Plant and machinery 20% reducing balance

Motor vehicles 20% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and

the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date. the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets

to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such

indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the

impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the

company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the

estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects

current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates

of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,

the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment

loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which

case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow

moving items.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other

Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the

instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset. with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there

is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or

to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured

at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective

interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured

at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets. other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of

impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that

occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If

an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of

the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The

impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was

recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed

what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment

reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are

settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership

to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has

transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual

arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of

the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors. bank loans, loans from fellow group companies

and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the

arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of

the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligations are discharged,

cancelled, or they expire.

Equity Instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the fair value of proceeds received, net of direct issue

costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the

discretion of the company.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance

sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from

those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws

that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of

the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they

will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and

rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of

inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is Included in the statement

of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest

elements. The interest is charged to the income statement so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on

the remaining balance of the liability.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to income on a

straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more

representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed.

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 profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
