Financial instruments |
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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. |
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include trade debtors, other debtors, accrued income, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost being transaction price less amounts settled and less any impairment losses. |
Impairment of financial assets |
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. |
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that |
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities and equity instruments according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade creditors, other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amortised cost, being transaction price less amounts settled. |
Equity instruments |
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the fair value of proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company. |
Taxation |
Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.. |
Deferred taxation |
Deffered tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to period when the asset is realised or liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that exist at the Reporting date. |
Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income that arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in different period from their recognition in financial statements. Deferred tax asset are recognised only to the extent that it is possible that they will be recovered by the reversal of deffered tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Research and development |
Research and development expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. |
Foreign exchange |
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. |
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All translation differences are taken to profit or loss. |
Retirement benefits |
For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to profit or loss is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either other debtors or other creditors. |

Fixed asset investments |
Investments in associates are carried at cost and subsequently at cost less impairment. An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate. |
Other fixed asset investments over which the company has no significant influence are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. |
Impairment of fixed assets |
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). |
The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |

10. | POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS |
On 1 July 2024, the company sold its online platform to a third party for £250,000. |
11. | PARENT COMPANY |
The company's immediate and ultimate parent undertaking is Com&Tel Media Limited. |
12. | ASSOCIATES |
Details of the company's associate at 31 December 2023 is as follows: |
Name of undertaking Registered office Nature of business Class of Shares held % Held Direct Indirect |
Global Gaming 13/F, Times, Investment management Ordinary 49.00 |
Limited Tower, 391-407 |
Jaffe Road, |
Wanchai, Hong |
The directors have assessed that the company has significant influence but not control over Global Gaming Limited and therefore have accounted for the investment as an associate. |
At the reporting date the directors consider the company's interest in the associate to be irrecoverable. |
As at 31 December 2023, the amount due from the associate after provision for impairment stood at £nil (2022: £nil). |
13. | SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKINGS |
The company has a significant holding in an undertaking which is not a subsidiary of the company and is not classified as a joint venture or associated undertaking: |
Name of undertaking Registered office Nature of business Class of shares held % Held Direct Indirect |
2Giraffes LLP 255 Poulton Road, Global provider of Ordinary 35.00 |
Wallasey, Wirral internet content |
CH4448T |
The market value of this investment is not readily available because the investment is not in publically traded equities with a quoted market price and the directors do not consider that a reliable estimate of fair value can be made. Therefore the investment is accounted for using the cost model. |
The directors do not consider that 'significant influence' is exercised by the company over 2Giraffes LLP and therefore, despite the holding of 35%, the investment is not accounted for as an associate undertaking. This is on the basis that a sole member has the remaining 65% holding and the company does not have voting rights. |
At the reporting date the directors consider the company's interest in 2Giraffes LLP to be irrecoverable. |
As at 31 December 2023, the carrying amount of the investment in 2Giraffes LLP after provision for |
impairment stood at £nil (2022: Nil). |
