NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Preoptima Ltd is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is Salisbury House, Station Road, Cambridge, CB1 2LA.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The trading losses reported to date are consistent with the Company's business plan as it progresses its research and development activities.
Given the investment received, together with the development progress achieved, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the forseeable future and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis. 

 
2.3

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Profit and Loss Account within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.4

TURNOVER

Turnover comprises business and domestic software development provided during this period, exclusive of Value Added Tax. Turnover is recognised as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the period to which it relates to.

 
2.5

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.6

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

PENSIONS

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.8

TAXATION

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.


 
2.9

DEBTORS

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.10

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.11

CREDITORS

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.


3.


EMPLOYEES


The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 5 (2023 - 5).
