A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 24% to 23% (effective from 1
April 2013) was substantively enacted on 3 July 2012.  Accordingly the group's
profits for this accounting period are taxed at an effective rate of 23.1%.
The deferred tax asset at 28 February 2014 has been calculated based on the
rate of 23% at the reporting date. 
 
The March 2013 Budget announced that the rate will further reduce to 20% by
2015 in addition to the planned reduction to 21% by 2014 previously announced
in the December 2012 Autumn Statement.  It has not yet been possible to
quantify the full anticipated effect of the announced further 3% rate
reduction, although this will further reduce the group's future current tax
charge and reduce the group's deferred tax asset accordingly.

The value of inventories included within cost of sales for the year was
£42,433,000 (2013: £30,619,000). An impairment provision of £517,000 (2013:
£687,000) was charged to the statement of comprehensive income. The relative
reduction in the level of the provision between 2013 and 2014 follows the
introduction of a new provisioning methodology during the year calculated on
the basis of an enhanced level of historic inventory data. The provision at 28
February 2013 under the new methodology would have been £335,000.

(b) Credit risk 
 
Financial risk management 
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the group if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations, and arises principally from the group's receivables from
customers and hedging and other financial activities. 
 
The group faces minimal credit risk from trade receivables as customers pay
for their orders in full at the time of purchase and bank clearance of credit
cards receipts is of short duration. The risk of default from related party
undertakings is considered low. 
 
(c) Liquidity risk 
 
Financial risk management 
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will not be able to meet its
financial obligations as they fall due. 
 
The group's approach to managing liquidity is to use both short-term and
long-term cash forecasts to assist in monitoring cash flow requirements.

(d) Capital risk 
 
Financial risk management 
 
Capital risk is the risk that the group will not be able to continue as a
going concern. 
 
The group's approach to managing capital risk is to safeguard the group's
ability to continue as a going concern by securing an appropriate mix of debt
and equity funding, a strong credit rating and sufficient headroom. 
 
(d) Foreign currency risk 
 
Financial risk management 
 
The group trades internationally and is exposed to exchange rate risk on
purchases and sales, primarily in Australian dollars, euros and US dollars.
The group's results are presented in sterling and are exposed to exchange rate
risk on translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. 
 
The group's approach to managing foreign currency risk is to use financial
instruments in the form of forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign
currency cash flows. 
 
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts recognised in the
Statement of Financial Position within financial assets at 28 February 2014
was £125,000 (2013: £nil) and within financial liabilities was £24,000 (2013:
£nil). Cash flows related to these contracts will occur during the year to 28
February 2015 and gains or losses will be recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income during the same period. 
 
21           Operating Leases 
 
The group has lease agreements in respect of properties, plant and equipment,
for which the payments extend over a number of years. The total of future
minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases due in each
period are:
