Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard |
102 ''The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'' and the Companies Act 2006. The |
financial statements have been prepared under the historical costs convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. |
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax or other similar sales taxes. |
Research and development
Expenditure on research is written off in the year in which it is incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised in accordance with FRS102 S 1A 'Intangible Assets other than Goodwill'. Initial capitalisation of costs are based on management's judgement that technical and economic feasibility of the project is confirmed; technical and financial resources are available; there is intention and ability to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; the asset will generate probable future economic benefits; and the costs can be measured reliable. The amounts to be capitalised can be determined from the schedule of costs retained by management. |
Intangible assets
Development costs are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, development costs are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.Development costs have been capitalised rather than expended, as the costs incurred on development are creating an immersive technology platform, which management intend to offer for sale via subscription. The asset will be marketed to the entertainmment, healthcare and enducational sectors.Development costs will be amortised over 5 years form the date the asset is available for use as intended by mangement, which is expected to be in the year ended 31st May 2025. The amortisation period of 5 years has been determined from the life expectancy of the current technology embeded in the platform's pragramming. |
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis: |
Plant and machinery
Computer equipment
Government grants
Government grants received are credited to deferred income. Grants towards capital expenditure are released to the profit and loss account over the expected useful life of the assets. Grants received towards revenue expenditure are released to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred. |

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the Statement of Financial Position 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 the financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and 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 not be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straightline basis over the period of the lease.
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 rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted |
by the Statement of Financial Position date. |
Impairment of assets
At each reporting date assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an |
impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and |
compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its |
recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. |
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its |
recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in |
prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. |
Basic financial instruments
Basic financial instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade creditors and debtors, are measured |
initially and subsequently at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration that is expected to be paid or received |
less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
