The directors anticipate that the application of these standards, amendments and interpretations in the future periods will have no material financial 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 2011.

   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 Group's assets to net realizable value, as the Group no longer has a trading operation. Provision has also been made for any onerous contractual commitments at the end of the reporting period. 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 end of the reporting period. Accordingly, all assets are classified as current assets.

The Group's financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries undertakings included in the Group.

   4.   BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS 

No business and geographical segment analyses are presented for the periods ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 as the Group has only maintained a minimum operation during the period.
