Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015). |
|
|
Investments |
|
Investments are stated at cost less provision for the diminution in value of the investee's underlying assets should this be less than the company's investment and which, in the opinion of the directors, represent permanent impairment. |
|
|
Foreign currencies |
|
The company's investment activities are conducted in continental Europe and as such all transactions are undertaken in Euros (€). The financial records are maintained in Euros and these financial statement are therefore denominated in Euros.
Transactions in currencies other than the Euros are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the € are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account. |
|
|
Group accounts |
|
The financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. The company and its subsidiary undertaking comprise a small-sized group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions provided by section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts. |
|
|
| 2 |
Going concern |
|
|
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. This is considered appropriate by the director as the ultimate beneficial owners will continue to provide financial support for the forseeable future. |
