The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |

|
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements
|
|
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom
accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting
Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") as issued in August
2014, and with the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small
companies' regime). The changes to FRS 102 issued in September 2015 effective for
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 have been adopted and therefore, as a small
company the financial statements have been prepared under section 1A the small entities
regime of FRS 102.
|
|
|
Going concern
|
|
The directors have prepared forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of
these financial statements which indicate that the company will have sufficient funds to meet
its liabilities as they fall due in that period. On this basis, they continue to adopt the going
concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements.
|
|
|
Prior period
|
|
The company has identified a prior period error with regards to the provision of deferred tax
on substantial shareholdings which are exempt for the purpose of Capital Gains Tax. See
note 7 for details of the prior period adjustment.
|
|
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
|
|
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing
these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
|
|
|
- the requirement of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
|
|
- the requirement of Section 33 Related Party Disclosure;
|
|
- the requirement of Section 33.7 Key Management Personnel Compensation.
|
|
|
Preparation of consolidated financial statements
|
The company is exempt by virtue of s400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare group financial statements. These financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. |

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
|
|
|
Significant judgements and estimates
|
The Directors are continually evaluating estimates and judgements based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. |
|
Accounting judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies |
Recoverability of inter company balances is considered to be a key accounting judgement. |
|
Financial risk management including derivatives, objectives and forward fixed rate currency contracts |
|
The company uses financial instruments, comprising loans, cash and other liquid resources and various other items such as trade debtors, creditors and finance arrangements that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for its operations. The main issues arising from the company's financial instruments are liquidity risk, interest rate and foreign currency risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The policies |
have remained unchanged from the previous period. |
|
Liquidity risk |
The company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs by negotiating adequate facilities from the Company's bankers and other lenders. |
|
Interest rate risk |
The company finances its operations through a mixture of shareholders' equity, retained profits and bank borrowings. The Company regularly reviews its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. |
|
Foreign currency risk |
The Company is exposed to transaction and translation foreign exchange risk. The Company seeks to minimise its exposure when known, using forward fixed rate currency contracts. |
|
|
Investments in subsidiaries
|
|
Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at
|
|
cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
|
|
The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment
|
|
losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
|
|
|
Financial instruments
|
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet 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. |
|
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include 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 transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
|
Other financial assets |
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments and derivatives, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. |
|
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. |

|
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
|
|
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies, 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
Other financial liabilities |
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss. Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. |
|
Derecognition of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. |
|
Equity instruments |
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the fair value of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the Directors. |
|
|
Taxation
|
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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. |

|
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
|
|
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 the 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. |
|
|
Foreign currencies
|
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
|
|
Income recognition
|
|
Dividends are accounted for when receivable by the company. Interest is accounted for as it
falls due.
