comprehensive income. 
 
Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised
on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. 
 
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets.  Any asset
resulting from this calculation is limited to cumulative unrecognised past service cost, plus the present value of
available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan. 
 
The Group has recognised the actuarial losses and gains immediately within the Statement of Comprehensive Income in
accordance with the provisions stated within IAS 19 'Employee benefits'. 
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 
 
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity of
three months or less when originally entered into which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 
 
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
 
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements
entered into. 
 
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt
instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities.  Financial liabilities are presented as such
in the balance sheet.  Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the income
statement.  Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of charge on the outstanding liability. 
 
Where none of the contractual terms of share capital meet the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as
an equity instrument.  Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity. 
 
Further analysis of the Group's financial instruments, and the relevant exposure to risks and uncertainties, is stated in
note 19 below and the various classifications of financial assets and liabilities are identified and explained.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014 
 
Trade and other receivables 
 
Trade and other receivables are originally recognised at fair value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method. A provision against trade receivables is made when there is objective evidence that the
Group will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of those receivables. The
total of bad and doubtful debts at the year end was £71,000 (2013: £32,000).  Trade receivables and cash and cash
equivalents are classified as loans and receivables. 
 
Trade and other payables 
 
Trade and other payables are originally recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs.  Subsequent measurement is at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 
 
Investments in securities 
 
Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date where a purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract
whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially
measured at fair value, with all transaction costs being written off to the income statement as incurred. 
 
Investments are classified as held for trading and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value.  Gains and
losses arising from changes in fair value of held for trading financial assets are included in the net profit or loss for
the period.  At the year end an adjustment of £37,500 (increase) was made to align the investments in securities with their
fair value. 
 
SHARE BASED PAYMENTS AND SHARE OPTIONS 
 
Former employees of the Group have received remuneration in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees
render services in exchange for rights over shares ('equity settled transactions').  The cost of these transactions is
measured by reference to their fair value at the date at which the options are granted.  The fair value is determined by
using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model. There has been no charge recognised with respect to the share options as all
those in issue fall outside the scope of IFRS 2, having been granted before November 2002. 
 
IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 
 
At each balance sheet date the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether
there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.  If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).  Where the asset does
not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 
 
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  In assessing value in use the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than
its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.  An
impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in
which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. 
 
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior
years. 
 
SEGMENTAL REPORTING 
 
The standard requires financial information to be disclosed in the financial statements in the same format in which it is
disclosed to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief decision-maker has been identified as the Board, at which level
strategic decisions are made.

of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.
