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.

Turnover

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

value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue is recognised on completion of services and work performed.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Financial instruments

The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial

assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable.

Debt instruments, like loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of

the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments

that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and

subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received.

However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a

trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in

case of an outright short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially and

subsequently, at the present value of the future payment discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt

instrument.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for

objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised

in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an

asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective

interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is

the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between

an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the company would

receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an

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.

Taxation

Taxation for the period 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 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.

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.

Impairment

At each reporting date, goodwill and other fixed assets, including tangible fixed assets and investments but

excluding investment properties, are assessed to determine whether there is an indication that the carrying

amount of an asset may be more than its recoverable amount and that the asset should be impaired. If there is an

indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of its value in use and

its net realisable value, is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower,

the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount and an impairment loss is

recognised in profit and loss.
