Chartered Accountants' Report to the Board of Directors |
on the Unaudited Financial Statements of |
Method Apps Limited |
The following reproduces the text of the report prepared for the directors in respect of the company's annual unaudited financial statements. In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the company is only required to file a Balance Sheet. Readers are cautioned that the Income Statement and certain other primary statements and the Report of the Directors are not required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies. |

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Method Apps Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
As at the balance sheet date, the company has negative retained reserves. The directors understand that this is normal for an early-stage tech (SaaS) business and believe that with a growing customer and subscription base the viability of the company is not wholly reliant on the level of current distributable retained reserves. |
During the reporting period, and since the balance sheet date, there have been active conversations with our highly-supportive equity investors to agree further equity investment raise options; with this contingency in place, we can ensure that the entity will continue trading for the foreseeable future and, at least, for the next 12 months from signing these financial statements. Since the balance sheet date, early year new sales make this (equity raise) contingency action increasingly unlikely - but it is there in extremis. The board meets regularly to review cash flow projections (with a focus on net burn rate/runway) and business performance generally in order to mitigate risks. For the reasons given, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales tax. |
Revenue is recognised when services are rendered. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Computer equipment | - |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. |

Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
Foreign currencies |
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. |
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. |
Critical accounting estimates and uncertainties |
No significant judgements or key assumptions have had to be made by the directors in preparing these financial statements. |
Financial instruments |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. |
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount 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. |
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. |
