| 1. | Statutory information |
| Latent Technology Ltd is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | Accounting policies |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. The directors are therefore of the opinion that they should continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| Key source of estimation, uncertainty and judgement |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practice requires management to make estimates and judgement that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. |
| There is estimation uncertainty in calculating depreciation. A full line by line review of fixed assets is carried out by management regularly. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the depreciation policy is as accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the policy does not match the useful life of the assets. |
| There is estimation uncertainty in calculating share based payments. Share based payments have been made to employees of the company. The fair value of any vested share options is recognised in the income statement. The fair value of share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the ordinary shares in issue at the date of granting the options is used as an input to the model. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due. |
| Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and bank overdrafts. |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
