Goodwill
Positive goodwill is capitalised, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful economic life.

Other accounting policies
Going concern
The company has net liabilities at the year end which includes a loan from the director and other companies controlled by him. The director and his other companies will continue to support the company by providing a loan as is required in order to meet other liabilities of the company as they fall due. On this basis, the director considers it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

Stock
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised, without discounting, in repsect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes, which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as required by the FRSSE.
Deferred tax is measured at the rates that are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on the tax rates and law enacted at the balance sheet date.

Hire purchase and leasing
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
