Notes to the Abridged Accounts
for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017
 
1 Financial Information

The financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of the IFRS as adopted by the European Union.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of this set of condensed interim financial are consistent with those set out in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 and those that will be used in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016 were approved by the board of directors on 31 May 2017 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditor on those financial statements was unqualified.

The financial information for the period ended 30 June 2017 has not been audited or reviewed. As permitted the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS34 'Interim Financial Statements' in preparing this financial information.

Going concern

The directors, having made appropriate enquiries, consider that adequate resources exist for the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, therefore, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2016.

2 Earnings per Share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average of ordinary shares in issue being 61,889,500 during the period. This results in a loss per share of nil (2016 - nil).

3 Capital commitments

As at 30 June 2017 the company had committed to acquire a freehold office building in Leeds for £200,000 plus costs.

4 Directors remuneration

The directors will not be remunerated until such time as the net assets of the company exceed £500,000.
