Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

People Places Lives Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of System Associates in 2015, was being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.During 2024 the goodwill suffered from impairment and at 30th June 2024 was fully written down.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Tangible fixed assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment.

Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances in hand and at bank.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables on normal terms are stated at their nominal value.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable exclusive of VAT for term subscriptions, setup fees and support fees.

Term subscription income relates to the use of the company's platform software, recognised rateably over the period.

Income from setup fees relates to the implementation of the platform software. This income is recognised on installation.

Support fees income is from contracted levels of support over a set period, normally one year. This is recognised rateably over the period.

Going concern
No material uncertainties, that cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, have been identified by the directors.
Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
