Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets.
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
At year end, the Company had generated a loss of £17,033, and was in a net liability and net current liability position. The Company has confirmation from Company companies that amounts owed to Company undertakings of £1,212,133 will not be recalled within twelve months of signing these financial statements whilst the company remains a part of the Company if, by doing so, it would jeopardise the financial status of the Company. On this basis, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern assumption in their preparation of the financial statements.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added tax.
The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Companies activities as described below.
Revenue from digital services is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period.
Finance costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further includes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax is calculated at the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the statement of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is recognised in other comprehensive income.
Intangible assets Computer software
Computer software that is not integral to the operation of the related hardware is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Costs associated with the development of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Company that will generate probable future economic benefits in excess of costs are recognized as intangible assets when the criteria of IAS 38 Intangible Assets? are met. They are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the higher of the asset's fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. An asset's value in use is calculated by discounting an estimate of future cash flows by the Company's pre-tax weighted average cost of capital

The Company has applied IFRS 9, Financial Instruments as outlined below:
(i) Financial assets
The Company classifies and measures its financial assets in line with one of the three measurement models under IFRS 9: at amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss, and fair value through other comprehensive income. Management determines the classification of its financial assets based on the requirements of IFRS 9 at initial recognition.
They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the statement of financial position date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Company's financial assets comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position. Please see the following sections.
(ii) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are accounted for under IFRS 9 using the expected credit loss model, recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost less any allowance for expected credit losses.
The allowance for expected credit losses for trade receivables is established by considering on a discounted basis the cash shortfalls it would incur in various defaults scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The allowance is the sum of these probability weighted outcomes. The allowance and any changes to it are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within net operating expenses. A provision matrix is used to calculate the allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables which is based on historical default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against net operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
(iii) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits repayable on demand or maturing within three months of the balance sheet date.
(iv) Financial liabilities:
Debt and trade payables are recognised initially at fair value based on amounts exchanged, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortized cost. Interest expense on debt is accounted for using the effective interest method and, is recognised in income.
(v) Derivative financial instruments:
The Company does not hold any derivative financial instruments either for trading
purposes or designated as hedges
(vi.) Share capital and share premium:
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The excess of consideration received in respect of shares issued over the nominal value of those shares is recognised in the share premium account.
(vii) Dividends:
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are paid or approved by the shareholders in the annual general meeting.
During the year, the loan of £1,210,003 due to the previous owner was formally waived. As a result, the liability has been derecognised from creditors. The waiver has been accounted for as a capital contribution and credited directly to reserves.
