Conflicts of interest
Under the articles of association of the company and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, a director must avoid a situation where he has, or can have, a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or possibly may conflict with the company’s interests. However, the directors may authorise conflicts and potential conflicts, as they deem appropriate. As a safeguard, only directors who have no interest in the matter being considered will be able to take the relevant decision, and the directors will be able to impose limits or conditions when giving authorisation if they think this is appropriate. During the financial period ended 31 March 2012, the directors have authorised no such conflicts or potential conflicts.

The total value of trade creditors at 31 March 2012 amounted to £69,057 (2010: £10,316). The average period taken to pay creditors during the period was less than 14 days.
