Goodwill arising on business combinations is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more
frequently if there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is
allocated, at acquisition, to cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from that business combination. 
 
The carrying amount of goodwill relates wholly to the Group's single trading activity and business segment. This has been
tested for impairment during the current financial year by comparison with the recoverable amounts of the CGU.

 11.           GOODWILL continued........  
 
 
Recoverable amounts for CGUs are based on the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The recoverable
amounts of the CGU have been determined from value in use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. The key assumptions for the
value in use calculations are those regarding discount rates, growth rates, and expected changes in margins. Management
estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect the current market assessment of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the CGUs. Changes in income and expenditure are based on past experience and expectations of the future
changes in the market. The pre-tax discount rate used to calculate the value in use is 10% (2015 - 10%). The valuations
indicate sufficient headroom such that a reasonably possible change in key assumptions would not result in impairment of
goodwill.

The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities is equal to their carrying values. All financial assets
are categorised as loans and receivables and all financial liabilities are categorised as financial liabilities at
amortised costs. 
 
General objectives, policies and processes 
 
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and
whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes
that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group's risk committee. The Board receives
monthly reports from the Risk Committee through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the
appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. 
 
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting
the Company's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below: 
 
Interest rate risk 
 
The Group's interest rate risk arises from interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Group has in place a policy of
maximising finance income by ensuring that cash balances earn a market rate of interest offsetting where possible cash
balances, and by forecasting and financing its working capital requirements. As at the reporting date the Group was not
exposed to any movement in interest rates as it has no external borrowings and therefore is not exposed to interest rate
risk. No sensitivity analysis has been prepared. 
 
The Group's working capital requirements are managed through regular monitoring of the overall cash position and regularly
updated cash flow forecasts to ensure there are sufficient funds available for its operations. 
 
Liquidity risk 
 
The Groups working capital requirements are managed through regular monitoring of the overall position and regularly
updated cash flow forecasts to ensure there are funds available for its operations. Management forecasts indicate no new
borrowing facilities will be required in the upcoming financial period.

Credit risk 
 
Credit risk arises principally from the Group's trade receivables, as there are no trade receivables within the Company,
which comprise amounts due from customers. Prior to accepting new customers a credit check is obtained. As at 30 June 2016
there were no significant debts past their due period which had not been provided for. The maturity of the Group's trade
receivables is as follows:

The Group minimises its credit risk by profiling all new customers and monitoring existing customers of the Group for
changes in their initial profile. The level of trade receivables older than the average collection period consisted of a
value of £1,541,197 (2015: £1,486,597) of which £730,350 (2015: £339,962) was provided for. The Group felt that the
remainder would be collected post year end as they were with long-standing relationships, the risk of default is considered
to be low and write-offs due to bad debts are extremely low. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk,
with the exposure spread over a large number of customers. 
 
The credit risk on liquid funds is low as the counterparts are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international
credit rating bodies. The majority of the Company's cash holdings are held at NatWest Bank which has a BBB+ credit rating. 
 
The carrying value of both financial assets and liabilities approximates to fair value. 
 
Capital policy 
 
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to

provide optimal returns for shareholders and to maintain an efficient capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 
 
In doing so the Group's strategy is to maintain a capital structure commensurate with a strong credit rating and to retain
appropriate levels of liquidity headroom to ensure financial stability and flexibility. To achieve this, the Group monitors
key credit metrics, risk and fixed charge cover to maintain this position. In addition the Group ensures a combination of
appropriate short term and long-term liquidity headroom. 
 
During the year the Group had a short term loan balance of £nil (2015: £nil) and amounts payable over one year are nil
(2015: £nil). The Group had a strong cash reserve to utilise for any short term capital requirements that were needed by
the Group. 
 
The Group has continued to look for a further long-term investments or acquisitions and therefore, to maintain or re-align
the capital structure, the Group may adjust when dividends are paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue
new shares or borrow from lenders.
