2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will continue trading for the foreseeable future, being a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
In reaching their conclusion over the going concern status of the Company, the directors have prepared cash flow forecasts and performed sensitivity testing on the key inputs. They have also reviewed the pipeline of contracts as well as the continuing development work of the business.
Based on the cash flow forecasts prepared, which show a positive cash balance for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and the availability of additional financing combined with the cash balance at the balance sheet date, the directors are satisfied that the Company will have adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
This forecast is based on a business in which 80% of income is recurring subscription revenues obtained from customers mainly signed on long term (2 years plus) contracts, with rapid revenue growth and a 70% gross profit margin.
As per accounting conventions the company recognises revenue over the life of the contracts. For the months of January to May 2022 Patients Know Best has had recognised revenue of £2.2m and invoiced to customers £4.8m. The company’s cash balance as at 31 May 2022 was £4.6m.
The company has repaid in full the two outstanding venture debt facilities. The remaining debt of £1.5m consists of a Convertible Note provided by an existing shareholder that is designed to convert to equity no later than October 2024. If further funds are needed then options open to the directors include taking further equity funding; taking out new debt facilities to replace those being repaid in 2022 and limiting overhead expenditure.
The company has returned a small monthly profit in the months March, April and May and expects to break even for 2022.
Covid-19 has had no adverse impact on the Company, which has always had a policy of 100% of employees working from home; indeed following the pandemic the Company has greatly benefited from increased market awareness of and interest in its online solution, which enables healthcare providers to more effectively care for their patients whilst not bringing them into a clinic or hospital.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods and services supplies during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
Revenue is recognised as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised on the date that the goods are dispatched or in line with the percentage completion of the services.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|

|
|
Office and computer equipment
|
|
|
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.
|
|
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each Balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the Profit and loss account over the remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, the Profit and loss account is charged with the fair value of goods and services received.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Research and development expenditure is written off to the Profit and loss account in the period in which it is incurred.

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 49 (2020 - 46).

In 2019 the Company set up a subsidiary based in The Netherlands. Due to Brexit the UK can no longer guarantee that it will comply with European Union data regulations such as GDPR. Therefore, the Company needed to create a trading entity within the EU in order to reassure our EU customers that the Company can deliver services to them from within the EU and under the jurisdiction of an EU regulator.
