Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebated, value added tax and other sales taxes. the following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:

Sale of goods

•     the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;

•     the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

•     the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;

•     it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and

•     the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

•     the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;

•     it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;

•     the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

•     the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, 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 the case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, Initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of comprehensive income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value. net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
