Notes to the Financial Statements |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
1. | COMPANY INFORMATION |
Hosted Desktop Uk Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
The principal place of business is the registered office. |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. Based on these assessments the Directors have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. |
Turnover |
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received, or receivable, for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates, and discounts. |
The company recognises revenue when: |
- | The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; and |
- | It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the cost of acquisition over the company's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued at the closing rate at each reporting date. |
The goodwill currently shown in the accounts is being amortised over its useful life of 12 years. The directors have considered this rate taking into account current and expected churn rates and believe that this rate is reasonable. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost, after initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Computer software is being amortised at 33% straight line per annum. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase of extended warranties on equipment that is integral to the operation of the business. The directors believe that this more fairly reflects the true cost of the equipment as extended warranties are in reality essential. These costs are therefore depreciated over the duration of the warranty, rather than the expenditure being released to the profit and loss account over the duration. Annual profitability is unaffected by this amendment. |
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in acquisition and installation. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its |
estimated useful life: |
Plant and machinery | - | Straight line over 10 years |
Computer equipment | - | Straight line over 3 years |
Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% reducing balance |
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. |
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |

Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or 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. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis | over the lease term. |
Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of | ownership of the asset have passed to the company, are capitalised in the balance sheet as tangible fixed assets and are depreciated over the short of the lease term and their term and their useful lives. |
The capital elements of future obligations under the leases are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. The interest element of the rental obligation is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease. The capital element of future finance payments is included within creditors. Finance charges are allocated to accounting periods over the length of the contract. |
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. |
Estimates and judgements |
Other than depreciation, amortisation and deferred tax which are already covered above in the accounting policies note the key estimates and judgements included in the financial statements are: |
Accruals and prepayments which are based on information available at the time of approval of the financial statements |
