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
