1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities effective April 2008.

Turnover policy
Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales made during the year.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its
expected useful life, as follows:
Plant and machinery - 25% reducing balance
Fixtures, fittings
and equipment - 25% reducing balance & 33% reducing balance

Other accounting policies
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at
the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an
obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more, tax, with the following exceptions:
Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and similar fair value adjustments) of
fixed assets, and gains on disposal of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets,
only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the assets
concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of all available evidence at the balance
sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets and
charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold;
Provision is made for deferred tax that would arise on remittance of the retained earnings of overseas
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, dividends
have been accrued as receivable;
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 difference reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.

Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, despite the fact that liabilities exceed
assets. The director has given an undertaking to support the company until it returns to a net assets
position. The director considers it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis.
