Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover from the provision of information technology services is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover from provision of IT services is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The turnover is recognised as the services are provided. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery etc | - |
Financial instruments |
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. |

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
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 tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
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 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. |
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
Foreign currencies |
The financial statements are presented in Great Britain Pound (GBP), which is also the functional currency of the Company. A currency other than the functional currency is a foreign currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into GBP, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. |
Operating leases: the company as lessee |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset. |
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. |

12. | GOING CONCERN |
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements, the directors are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months. |
During the period the company made a net loss before exceptional items of £228,380 and at the balance sheet date, the company's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £1,810,714. |
Having made requisite enquires, the directors are confident that the company has adequate resources to continue their operations for the foreseeable future. This is due to continuing financial support from the primary shareholder Swiftserve PTE Limited. |
Following a detailed and comprehensive review of the business, the Directors have no reason or intention to liquidate the company or cease its trading activities over the foreseeable future. |
In conclusion, and considering the areas described above, the Directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, the Directors consider it appropriate they continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the going concern basis of preparation being inappropriate. |
