The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and 
Interpretations in the future periods will have no material impact on the 
financial statements of the Group. 
 
 
Save as disclosed above, the accounting policies adopted in preparing this 
report are consistent with those adopted in preparing the consolidated financial 
statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2008. 
 
 
 
 
3.  BASIS OF PREPARATION 
 
 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards. It has been prepared on a basis other than that 
of a going concern which includes, where appropriate, writing down the Company's 
assets to net realizable value. Provision has also been made for any onerous 
contractual commitments at the balance sheet date. The financial statements do 
not include any provision for the future costs of terminating the business of 
the Company except to the extent that such costs were committed at the balance 
sheet date. Accordingly, all assets are classified as current assets. 
 
 
The Group's financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the 
Company and the subsidiary undertakings included in the Group. 
 
 
The results of subsidiaries disposed of during the periods/year are included in 
the consolidated income statement up to the effective dates of disposal.

No business and geographical segment analyses are presented for the periods 
ended 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2008 as the Group has only maintained a minimum 
operation during the period.
