Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts

Turnover policy
Turnover represents the value of services provided to the extent that there is a right to consideration and is recorded at the value of the consideration due.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Plant and machinery - 33.3% Reducing balance
Fixtures, fittings
and equipment - 15% Reducing balance

Intangible assets amortisation policy
Goodwill
Acquired goodwill is written off in equal annual instalments over its estimated useful economic life of
20 years.

Other accounting policies
Pensions

The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the
company during the year.

Deferred taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year and takes into account taxation deferred
because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting
purposes. In accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 19, provision is made for deferred tax in
respect of all timing differences that have been originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more likely than not that the asset will be recovered.
Deferred tax is measured using rates that have been enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
