Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of
Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006
.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The emergence and spread of COVID-19 in 2020, the associated social distancing measures and imposed travel restrictions have significantly impacted businesses globally. As a result of the pandemic, the Company's trading subsidiary has been impacted by a reduction in customer orders, reflecting the temporary cessation of operations for many customers as well as ongoing uncertainty in the wider economic environment.
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on operations post year end and it is not possible to reliably forecast the full long-term extent of its impact on the Company at this stage. At the date of signing the financial statements, the subsidiary remains in a strong financial with net assets in excess of the investment value. Since the subsidiary is able to continue meeting its liabilities as they fall due, the Company is expected to be able to continue in operation as a holding company for the foreseeable future.
As the UK government has encouraged manufacturers to continue production despite increasing restrictions in the final quarter of 2020, the directors are able to forecast with reasonable certainty the subsidiary's expected cash flows for the short to medium term. Based on a review of the order pipeline and discussions with key customers, a further significant reduction in revenue is not expected, and with the strength of the current financial position, a well controlled cost base and the continued careful management of margins the directors are satisfied that both the Company and its trading subsidiary will be able to continue in operation for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
The directors therefore consider that the value of the Company's investment in its trading subsidiary has not been significantly impacted as a result of COVID-19, and that the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate.
