3. Particular Accounting Policies
The particular accounting policies adopted in the statements, which have a significant effect on the results and financial position disclosed, are:
(a) Income Determination
Interest income has been accrued to balance date on a daily basis.
(b) Valuation of Assets
(i) Investments
Investments are stated at net realisable value.
(ii) Fixed Assets
All fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation to date.
(c) Depreciation
Depreciation has been charged on a straight line basis allocated over an estimated economic life of the assets.
Depreciation has been calculated as follows:
| Asset | Cost | Depn to date | Estimated Life | Opening Value | Additions | Depn | Accum Depn | Closing Book Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
