The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and are consistent with those used in the brvious year.

Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Tangible assets:

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated debrciation and impairment losses, if any. The Company capitalises all costs relating to the acquisition and installation of fixed assets.
