1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Cash Flow Statement

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small company.

Investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.

Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the Company’s taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.

Group accounts

The Company and its subsidiary undertaking comprise a small-sized group. The Company has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions provided by section 248 of the Companies Act 1985 not to prepare group accounts. These financial statements present information about the Company as an individual undertaking only.

Acquisitions

On 31 August 2014, as part of a solvent reorganisation in accordance with s.110 of the Insolvency Act 1986, the Company was party to an agreement whereby it acquired assets from John Holman Holdings Limited, in return for an issue of shares. Mr A M Holman was previously the sole director and shareholder of John Holman Holdings Limited. The Company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Sheraton Systems Limited, which was previously owned by John Holman Holdings Limited. In accordance with FRS6 'Acquisitions and Mergers', this transaction has been accounted for by using acquisition accounting, with merger relief applying to the share for share exchange.
