Significant accounting policies

Changes in accounting policies and disclosure

The comparative balances have been restated in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes where applicable to reflect the disposal or planned discontinuation of certain subsidiary entities in accordance with IFRS 5. As required by the Standard, the comparative balances for the consolidated statement of financial position have not been restated.

Basis of accounting

Both the parent company financial statements and the Group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("Adopted IFRSs") and the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. On publishing the parent company financial statements here together with the Group financial statements, the Company is taking advantage of the exemption in s408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its individual income statement and related notes that form a part of these approved financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for available-for-sale financial assets which are included at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current year. Their adoption has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements but may impact the accounting for future transactions and arrangements:

-- IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations (revised 2008)'

-- IAS 27, 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised 2008)'

-- IFRIC 17, 'Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners'

-- Amendments to IFRS 2, 'Share-based Payments: Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions'

The following amendments were made as part of 'Improvements to IFRS (2009)'.Their adoption has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements:

-- Amendments to IAS 38 'Intangible Assets'

-- Amendments to IFRS 8 'Operating Segments'

-- Amendments to IAS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'

-- Amendments to IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets'

New Standards and Interpretations

A number of new standards, amendments to Standards and Interpretations, are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 April 2010, and therefore have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', IFRS 9 is currently mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 however the IASB has recently issued an exposure draft to move the mandatory date of application of that standard to 1 January 2015. IFRS 9 is not currently endorsed for use in the EU and management do not anticipate adopting the new standard early.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Group contained two loss making operating segments that were affecting the overall profitability of the Group. One of these segments was sold during the year and the other shortly after the year end. At 31 March 2011 the Group reported net current assets of GBP3.7 million (2010: net current liabilities of GBP7.5 million). The Directors have reviewed profit and cash flow forecasts for the coming year and expect the Group to return to profitability and to produce a net increase in cash.

The directors consider that the Group is sufficiently diversified and has no over reliance on any one customer or supplier.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 March 2011. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

On acquisition, the assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill.

The results of subsidiaries acquired during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the date that control commences.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over, in the case of business combinations completed prior to 1 April 2010, the Group's interest in the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired and, in the case of business combinations completed on or after 1 April 2010, the total acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.

For business combinations completed prior to 1 April 2010, cost comprises the fair value of assets given, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued, plus any direct costs of acquisition. Changes in the estimated value of contingent consideration arising on business combinations completed by this date are treated as an adjustment to cost and, in consequence, result in a change in the carrying value of goodwill.

For business combinations completed on or after 1 April 2010, cost comprised the fair value of assets given, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued, plus the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree plus, if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree. Contingent consideration is included in cost at its acquisition date fair value and, in the case of contingent consideration classified as a financial liability, re-measured subsequently through profit or loss. For business combinations completed on or after 1 April 2010, direct costs of acquisition are recognised immediately as an expense.

Goodwill is capitalised as an intangible asset with any impairment in carrying value being charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Where the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceed the fair value of consideration paid, the excess is credited in full to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on the acquisition date.

On disposal of a subsidiary, the amount of goodwill attributable is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets comprise client relationships and unit trust management and investment trust contracts recognised upon the acquisition of subsidiaries. Such assets are assessed and capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the assets will flow to the Group and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
