3          Critical accounting and key sources of estimation

Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies

In the process of applying the entity's accounting policies the directors have made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

The Group is subject to income taxes in the United Kingdom.  Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

The recoverable amounts of the Group's deferred tax assets have been determined based on the Board's estimates of future taxable profits and income and tax rates.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

Valuation of intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially valued at their cost and then evaluated periodically for impairment. For purposes of valuation an intangible asset is considered impaired if its carrying value is less than the expected net cash flow from the asset.

Valuation of inventories

Determining the valuation of inventories requires an estimation of the obsolescence provision required to write down items to their realisable value.

Retirement benefit scheme deficit

The valuation of expected returns on assets and the present value of the liabilities of the scheme are determined by assumptions and estimates made by the directors based on the current information to hand.  Therefore amounts are open to fluctuations in the future due to unforeseen changes or additional factors that come to light following the year end.

4.             Sales revenue by geographically market

5.             Income taxes

Corporation tax is calculated at 20% (2014: 20%) of the estimated assessable profit for the year.

Tax reconciliation

6.             Dividends

In addition to the dividends paid during the year the directors are recommending a final dividend for 2015 of 6.25 pence per share amounting to £158,000. The proposed final dividend is subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting (see note 8) and has not been included as a liability in these accounts.

7.             Earnings per share

The basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the relevant profit after taxation of £394,000 (2014: £443,000) by the average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year being 2,534,322 (2014: 2,534,322). The number of shares used in the calculation is the same for both basic and diluted earnings.

8.             Notice of annual general meeting

Notice is hereby given that the 2015 Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at the registered office of the Company, Leopold Street, Birmingham, on 14^th August 2015 at 12.00 noon. The final Ordinary Share dividend of 6.25 pence, if approved, will be payable on 21st August 2015 to ordinary shareholders registered at close of business on 24th July 2015.
