Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when alt the following conditions are satisfied:

ownership nor effective coniroi over the goods soid; o the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and legal title is
passed.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as
reported in the profit and loss account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for
current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or
part of the asset to be recovered.
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period
in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items
that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current
and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses.
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to
determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost or valuation less the
estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life:
Furniture, fittings and equipment 20% straight line
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are revalued annually and any surplus or deficit is dealt with through the profit
and loss account. No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties.
Investments
Unlisted investments are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, any changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss.

Provisions
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive
obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the profit and loss account in the year that the Company
becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at balance sheet date of the
expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the balance sheet.
