Risk and Uncertainties for use of Estimates in preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure requirements for contingent assets and liabilities during and at the date of financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions of accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected as required by FRS 102: "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Responsibility for Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements
The directors are legally responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the company’s financial position and performance for the financial year and the directors must ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 requirements, which dictate the structure, disclosure, and content of the financial statements.
Directors must prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards, such as FRS 102 (Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland) and adopting IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and as per provision of “The Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements” issued by the International Accounting Standard Committee (IASC).
The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
The fair value of trade and other short-term receivables are taken to approximate their carrying value. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value.

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtain control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of transfer of control at a point in time or over time and requires judgment.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
IFRS 15 requires application of 5 step model for revenue recognition:
1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
3) Determine the transaction price;
4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Application of this guidance will depend on the facts and circumstances present in a contract with a customer and will require the exercise of judgment.
i) Interest income is recognized when accrued on a time proportion basis; and
ii) Other income recognized when the right to received payment established.
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that the taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rated that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred Tax liabilities are generally recognized for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and labilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
