8. Earnings per share

the year of 21,354,167 (2016 21,354,167). There are no options or other
factors which would dilute these therefore the fully diluted earnings per
share is identical.

16,930,277 10,858,088
13.3 Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are not materially
different to their carrying values due to the short term nature of the current
assets and liabilities.
13.4 A Financial risk management
The company's policies for financial risk management are outlined in note 3 on
page 32 of the statutory accounts.
14. Treatment of borrowings
The group borrows money from its bankers and lends this on, together with its
own funds, to its customers.
Any increase in activity leads to an increase in debtors and an associated
increase in borrowings. If the company was one which bought and sold goods or
services the money borrowed would be similar to the company's stock in trade
and the change in creditors would be shown as part of operating cash flows.
However, accounting standards require cash flows from financing to be shown
separately and this means that there appears to be a large outflow of cash
from the company's operations which is then covered by borrowings. For reasons
stated above this is not the case.
