1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Sandstorm International 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

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.

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, the acceptability of which is dependent on the

continuing support of the directors and investors.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements contain information about Sandstorm International Limited as an individual company

and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under

Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Turnover is reduced for

estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised

when goods are delivered and legal title has passed.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost

less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Patents and licences are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years.

Impairment

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance

sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is

estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an

impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the

impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is

provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of

each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, as follows:

Computer equipment - 5% per annum

Residual value represents the estimated amount which would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset,

after deducting estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at

the end of its useful life.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell, which is equivalent to the net

realisable value.

Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial

instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured

at their settlement value.

Taxation

Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and

Retained Earnings, 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 period 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.

Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment. The directors undertake an impairment review

at each balance sheet date.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

Exemption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the company qualifies as a

small company.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past

event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be

made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present

obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
