Turnover |
Turnover represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, for work carried out in respect of software and services provided to customers. |
Sale of software: |
The company provides CFD software to its customers. 70% of the revenue is immediately recognised once it has been invoiced, with the remaining 30% being deferred over the period of the software licence. |
Rendering of services: |
The company provides support and consulting services to its customers. Revenue from these services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and when the outcome of the contract can be measured reliably. Revenue is recognised to the extent that the company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue is recognised based upon the stage of completion on a contract by contract basis at the balance sheet date. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated, using the straight-line method, to allocate the depreciable amount of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:- |
Development costs - 3 years |
Where factors, such as technological advancement or changes in market price, indicate that residual value or useful life have changed, the residual value, useful life or amortisation rate are amended prospectively to reflect the new circumstances. |
The assets are reviewed for impairment if the above factors indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. |
Research and Development |
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique products controlled by the company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met: |
- it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use; |
- management intends to complete the software and use or sell it; |
- there is an ability to use or sell the software; |
- it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits; |
- adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell; |
- the software is available and |
- the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured. |
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period, in line with Paragraph 18.17 of FRS 102. |

Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, intercompany balances and cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transactions price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the assets original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. |
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, intercompany balances and loans, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at present value of the future payments discounted a market rate of interest. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Creditors are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest. |
