for the Year Ended 30 September 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Lawson Group Limited as an individual company and do not
contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company has taken the option under Section
398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover represents the net invoiced sales of plant hire and other services, excluding value added tax.

Patents & licences
Amortisation on patents and licences has been provided for at 10% on cost.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Long leasehold - Straight line over the life of the lease
Plant and machinery - 10% on reducing balance and at varying rates on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

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

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held
under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are
depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The
capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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 the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate.
