1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Biz2Mobile Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going Concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors believe that adequate cash resources will be available to cover the company's requirements for working capital and capital expenditure for at least the next twelve months. This statement has been made after a review of the current economic environment. The directors have concluded, due to the nature of the company's business and continued support of investors, the current economic environment has not given rise to any material uncertainty which would cast doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The company and its subsidiary form a small group. The company is therefore not required to produce consolidated financial statements and has not done so. These financial statements present information about the company as a single entity. |
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. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured as the fair value of consideration received or receivable, excluding value added tax. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised. |
Rendering of services |
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period to which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all the following conditions are satisfied: |
- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- it is probable the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract; and |
- the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; |
Provision of goods |
Revenue from sale of goods are recognised in respect of invoiced goods which have been invoiced and supplied in the period. |
Royalty income |
This is invoiced as a percentage of turnover (both services and goods) in the company's subsidiary with the overall recognition policy consistent across the group. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Development costs are written off against income arising. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans to related parties. |
The basic financial debtors and liabilities as listed above 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 payments/receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method, less any impairment. An impairment review is undertaken annually at the balance sheet date. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current 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 taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Tax credits are recognised in accordance with current tax legislation. |
Research and development |
Development costs have been capitalised until such time that the software is complete and available for sale, when it will be written off against arising income. |
Research costs are written off in the year in which they are incurred. |
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. |
Leasing commitments |
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account 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. |
Share options |
For transactions with employees, the fair value of the equity instruments shall be measured at grant date. Any share based payment charge arising from the measurement at fair value and the actual grant price will be charged to the Income Statement over the applicable vesting period. |
For equity-settled share based payment transactions, an entity shall measure the services received and the corresponding increase in equity, at the fair value of services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. |
