3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

At inception the Company assesses agreements that transfer the right to use assets. The assessment considers whether the arrangement is a finance lease or an operating lease based on the substances of the arrangement.

Finance leases

Leases of assets that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Company are classified as finance leases.

Assets held under finance leases are recognized initially at the fair value of the leased asset (or, if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments) at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation using the effective interest method so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are deducted in measuring profit or loss.

Assets held under finance leases are included in tangible fixed assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the asset. Assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date.

Operating leases

Leases that do no transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
Short- term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value using a pre-tax discount rate. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance costs in profit or loss in the period it arises.

The Company recognises a provision for annual leave accrued by employees for services rendered in the current period, and which employees are entitled to carry forward and use within the next 12 months, measured at the salary costs payable for the period of absence.

Development costs
The company has elected to capitalise any development costs that meet the definition of an asset and will generate income for the company in the future. Any Development costs that are on a client assignment and generate revenue will be expense in the profit and loss account.

Grant income
Income received in relation to grants are classified either as relating to revenue or to assets.

Grants relating to revenue are recognised in other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Where a timing difference arises, the income is held on the balance sheet. When received in arrears the expected income is recognises as a debtor so long as the relevant conditions have been satisfied. When received in advance of costs, the income is held as deferred income and systematically released to the profit and loss in the periods the cost is incurred.

Grants relating to assets are recognised initially as deferred income and released to other income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset.
