Company information
Core Technology Systems (U.K.) Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 9 Appold Street, London, EC2A 2AP.
1.1
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).
1.2
Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sales of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
1.3
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
1.4
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses.
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
over 3 - 4 years
1.5
Investments
Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
1.6
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Long term contracts
Amounts recoverable on long term contracts, which are included in debtors are stated at the net sales value of the work performed after provisions for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments received on account.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

1.7
Taxation
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset isused. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
1.8
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date
1.9
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
