1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company

Information page.

The company's functional and presentational currency in the financial statements is Sterling (£), rounded to the

nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of these financial statements are set out below.

These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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

There have been no material departures from Financial Reporting Standard 102 1A.

Turnover

Turnover represents subscriptions and other services invoiced, excluding value added tax.

Current tax

Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the year and

is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet

date.

The company is treated for corporation tax purposes as being mutually trading and is not liable to UK

corporation tax on profits that derive from such activities. UK corporation tax is however payable on any profits

of the company arising other than from mutual trading and is therefore chargeable on interest receivable.

Deferred tax

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

balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not

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 un-discounted 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.

Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other debtors, cash and cash equivalents and trade and

other creditors.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying value of the company's financial assets and liabilities are a reasonable

approximation of their fair values.

Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand.
