NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

Accounting policies
1.1
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).
1.2
Compliance with accounting standards
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which have been applied consistently (except as otherwise stated).
1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts.
1.4
Patents
Trade marks are valued at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost in equal annual instalments over their estimated useful lives.
1.5
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Land and buildings Freehold
3.5% straight line
Plant and machinery
10% straight line
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
20% straight line
Motor vehicles
25% straight line
The part of the annual depreciation charge on revalued assets which relates to the revaluation surplus is transferred from the revaluation reserve to the profit and loss account.
1.6
Leasing and hire purchase commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
1.7
Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.
1.8
Stock and work in progress
Stock and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
1.9
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account in the year they are payable.
Until 31 March 2002 the company operated a defined benefit pension scheme, at which point contributions to the scheme ceased and the assets were frozen. Details of the scheme are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.
