NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Aimsun Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Significant judgements and estimates
As the company sells maintenance services related to the software licenses that it sells, the deferral of the related income and cost needs to be made based on an estimate of the duration of the contract that remains to expire after the end of the relevant accounting period end date. This is carried out by reference to the contract dates or the date of invoice as appropriate.

Income and costs are also accrued in relation to work carried out for other entities within the group. An
estimate of the completeness of this work is carried out at the year end (together with the raising of associated invoices as appropriate) to fit with the group reporting requirement to recognise this type of intragroup income and costs within the accounts. The completeness of these entries therefore relies on estimates based on timesheets maintained internally to arrive at the values to accrue both for income and costs at the year end.

The company estimates the provision for additional work that may need to be undertaken to update the software after the licences have been sold. This estimation is made based in past experience and history.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

The company also undertakes various grant funded projects as part of its activities with a UK grant body. Grant income is typically paid quarterly in arrears, with some of these periods not matching with the year end date of the company. An estimate is therefore required for those grants where the completeness of each quarters activities is not easily obtained from the underlying workings, and this estimate is used in the accruing of the grant income that will be received for that quarter after the balance sheet date.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

The revenue is recognised according to standard accruals accounting which requires the apportionment of income from sales according to when the obligations relating to those sales have been performed and thereby the economic benefits should be recognised upon performance of those obligations.

There are typically three areas where this policy impacts on the timing of the revenue recognition:

General sales, including license sales - upon delivery of the goods or service

Maintenance fees, on a time apportioned basis according to the period covered by the maintenance income

Professional services, usually relating to the resale of staff time, either accrued or deferred into or out of the period dependent on when the activity is performed.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery etc - 33% on cost

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
Financial assets, liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.

Financial assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability exists where there is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potentially unfavourable conditions. In addition, contracts which result in the entity delivering a variable number of its own equity instruments are financial liabilities. Shares containing such obligations are classified as financial liabilities. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. The carrying amount of the liability is increased by the finance cost and reduced by payments made in respect of that liability. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of charge on the outstanding liability.

Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited directly to reserves.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
