Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.
Going concern
At the balance sheet date the Company had net liabilities of £2.20m (2023: net liabilities of £1.19m). This reflects the losses incurred in the year as a result of continued investment in Research and Development. It is the Company's policy to expense all such expenditure to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings when it is incurred. Alongside this, billings payments received are held in the Balance Sheet as Deferred Income and totals £4.44m this year (2023: £3.73m).
As at 30 September 2024, the Company had net current assets of £2.21m, including cash of £1.94m. The directors have prepared forecasts and projections, which take into account growth in user numbers, the cost base to support this growth and Innovate grant funding awarded. Based on these forecasts and having made all necessary enquiries, the directors are satisfied that the Company is expected to maintain sufficient cash balances to meet working capital requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of presentation.

Revenue recognition
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 value added tax, refunds and discounts.
The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.
Revenue is recognised over the period for which the software and service subscription are provided.
Government grants
Grants are accounted for under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in 'other income' within the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the same period as the related expenditure.
Tax
Tax is recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Any research and development tax credits are recognised on a cash received basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Fixtures,fittings and equipment |
25% straight line or over the life of the lease |
Leasehold improvements |
Over the life of the lease term |
Research and development
Research and development costs are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings when it is incurred.

Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of income and retained earnings on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Balance Sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the statement of income and retained earnings and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Defined contribution pension obligation
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 the statement of income and retained earnings 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.
Share based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the company's estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest.
The fair value of share options is measured using the Black-Scholes model on the grounds there are no market related vesting conditions.

Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
