Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 September 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 101

    Turnover policy

    Revenue arises from the sale of goods and the rendering of services as it is performed and the performance obligations fulfilled. It is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable, excluding valued added tax, rebates, trade discounts and other sales-related taxes. The Company enters into sales transactions involving a range of the Company’s products and services; for example, for the delivery of hardware, software, support services, managed services and professional services. At the inception of each contract the Company assesses the goods or services that have been promised to the customer. Goods or services can be classified as either i) distinct or ii) substantially the same, having the same pattern of transfer to the customer as part of a series. Using this analysis, the Company identifies the separately identifiable performance obligations over the term of the contract. A contract liability is recognised when billing occurs ahead of revenue recognition. A contract asset is recognised when the revenue recognition criteria were met but in accordance with the underlying contract the sales invoice had not been issued. Goods and services are classified as distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or services on their own or in conjunction with other readily available resources. A series of goods or services, such as Recurring Services, would be an example of a performance obligation that is transferred to the customer consecutively over time. The Company applies the revenue recognition criteria set out below to each separately identifiable performance obligation of the sale transaction. The consideration received from multiple-component transactions is allocated to each separately identifiable performance obligation in proportion to its relative fair value. Sale of goods (hardware and software) Sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods. Revenue from the sale of software with no significant service obligation is recognised on delivery at a point in time. Rendering of services The Company generates revenues from managed services, support services, maintenance, resale of telecommunications and professional services (“Managed IT Services”). Consideration received for these services is initially deferred (when invoiced in advance), included in accruals and contract liabilities and recognised as revenue in the period when the service is performed and the performance obligation fulfilled, measured by reference to hourly rates. In recognising recurring Managed IT Services revenues, the Company recognises revenue equally over the duration of the contractual term. Sales commission and third-party costs (where relevant) relating to these services are shown within Contract Assets and are spread equally over the duration of the contractual term, in line with when the customer benefits from the services. Internal technical resources utilised in setting up recurring Managed IT Services over twelve months in duration are capitalised at the start of the contract within Contract Assets and spread equally over the duration of the contractual term.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. The depreciation policy is contained in principal accounting policy (g). d) Right of use assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs incurred. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. e) Disposal of assets The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

    Other accounting policies

    h) Leases A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. Any variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. i) Inventories and work in progress Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. The cost is calculated using the FIFO basis. Work in progress relates to costs incurred on part-completed work. j) Taxation Current tax is the tax currently payable based on taxable results for the year. Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. Deferred tax is generally provided on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the Company are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, with no discounting. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the underlying deductible temporary differences will be able to be offset against future taxable income. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity. k) Financial assets All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Trade receivables are held in order to collect the contractual cash flows and are initially measured at the transaction price as defined in IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, as the contracts of the Company do not contain significant financing components. Impairment losses are recognised based on lifetime expected credit losses in profit or loss. The Company reviews the amount of credit loss associated with its trade receivables based on forward looking estimates, taking into account current and forecast credit conditions. Other receivables are held in order to collect the contractual cash flows and accordingly are measured at initial recognition at fair value, which ordinarily equates to cost and are subsequently measured at cost less impairment due to their short-term nature. A provision for impairment is established based on 12-month expected credit losses unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk when lifetime expected credit losses are recognised. The amount of any provision is recognised in profit or loss. All financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the instruments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken, at least, at each reporting date. Interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when receivable. l) Cash and cash equivalents Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. m) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or other financial instruments and are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the amount initially recognised and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method. Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value less attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption, and direct issue costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. n) Issued share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs attributable to the issue of shares or options are recorded in equity as a deduction from proceeds. o) Pension The Company makes payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans that are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments are made on the basis of a percentage of qualifying salary for certain employees to personal pension schemes. p) Government Grants The Company received funding from various Government sources in relation to COVID-19. Government income is recognised in profit or loss (within other income) on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Where it is not yet considered highly probable that Government funding will not have to be repaid, this element is deferred on the balance sheet within other creditors. q) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty There were no critical judgements or key assumptions applied that had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
