The volatility assumption, measured at the standard deviation of expected
share price returns, is based on a statistical analysis of daily share prices
over the last three periods. 
 
28   Financial instruments 
 
In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise
from its use of financial instruments.  This note describes the Group's
objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods
used to measure them.  Further quantitative information in respect of these
risks is presented throughout these financial statements. 
 
The Group is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks: 
 
·     Credit risk 
 
·     Interest rate risk 
 
·     Liquidity risk 
 
The Group does not have any material exposure to currency risk or other market
price risk. 
 
There have been no substantive changes in the Group's exposure to financial
instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those
risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless
otherwise stated in this note. 
 
Principal financial instruments 
 
The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial
instrument risk arises, are as follows:- 
 
·     loans and borrowings 
 
·     trade receivables 
 
·     cash and cash equivalents 
 
·     trade and other payables 
 
General objectives, policies and processes 
 
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk
management objectives and policies. 
 
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk
as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and
flexibility.  Further details regarding these policies are set out below: 
 
Credit risk 
 
Credit risk is the risk of the financial loss to the Group if a customer or a
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations.  The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk from rebates from
suppliers and the risk is considered minimal 
 
Trade and other receivables, which are neither past due nor impaired, are
disclosed in note 17 and represent the maximum credit exposure for the Group. 
 
The Group's principal financial assets are cash and trade receivables.  There
is minimal credit risk associated with the Group's cash balances.  Cash
balances are all held with recognised financial institutions.  Trade
receivables arise in respect of rebates from a major supplier and therefore
they are largely offset by trade payables.  As such the net amounts receivable
form an insignificant part of the Group's business model and therefore the
credit risk associated with them is also insignificant to the Group as a
whole. 
 
Liquidity risk 
 
Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital.  It is
the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial
obligations as they fall due. 
 
The Group's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to
allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. 
 
The Group seeks to manage its financial risk to ensure that sufficient
liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs both in the short and long
term (note 21).  The Board consider detailed cash flow forecasts together with
future obligations from capital projects in progress and the resulting impact
on its cash balances. 
 
Interest rate risk 
 
The Group seeks to minimise interest costs by regularly reviewing cash
balances. 
 
Interest rate risk arises from the Group's use of interest bearing financial
instruments.  This is the risk that the future cash flows of the financial
instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the interest rates. 
 
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk from long term borrowings
at variable rate.  The Group does not seek to fix interest rates on these
borrowings because the Board considers the exposure to the interest rate risk
to be acceptable. 
 
Surplus funds are invested in interest bearing, instant access bank accounts. 
The Group also holds short term deposit accounts in relation to tenant
deposits received on sublet sites. 
 
Loans and borrowings 
 
The Group has a loan facility with Barclays Bank Plc.  Under the terms of the
facility the Group may borrow up to a maximum of £3.0m on flexible loan terms
and £5.0m on a 5 year fixed term.  Interest on this facility is charged at
1.7% above LIBOR plus a variable charge for mandatory associated costs of the
lender for all amounts drawn down, with a 0.68% charge on any amounts of the
facility that is not drawn down. 
 
At 27 December 2015 if the Bank of England base rate had been 1% higher /
lower with all other variables held constant this would not have resulted in
any significant variance in the profit or loss or net assets of the Group. 
 
The bank loans are secured by a legal charge over the issued share capital of
the Group companies, a legal charge over all the Group's trading sites, and a
cross guarantee between Group companies. 
 
Capital disclosures 
 
The Group considers its capital to comprise the ordinary share capital, share
premium and retained earnings. 
 
The Group's objective when maintaining capital is to safeguard the entity's
ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
 
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the
light of strategic plans.  In order to maintain or adjust the capital
structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. 
 
29   Related party transactions 
 
The Directors are considered to be the key management personnel.  Details of
directors remuneration is shown in note 8. 
 
The Group pays rent and associated insurance to a number of companies
considered related parties by virtue of the interests held by the directors in
such companies.  The Group also reimburses expenses incurred by such companies
on behalf of the Group. The Group receives income from related parties for
fees in relation to consultancy services offered.
