Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Downforce Technologies Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 12987689 . The registered office is 7 Albert Buildings, 49 Queen Victoria Street, London, EC4N 4SA.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The directors have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Turnover
All revenue arose from the rendering of services. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for services rendered, net of discounts and rebates allowed by the Company and value added taxes.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be measured reliably. The outcome of a sales agreement or statement of work is assessed reliably and revenue is recognised on a time and materials basis namely the actuals hours in the period in which they are incurred.
If the outcome of a contract cannot be assessed reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable (i.e., more likely than not) will be recoverable and contract costs are recognised in the period in which they are incurred.
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures & Fittings 3 year straight line
Computer Equipment 3 year straight line
2.5. Financial Instruments
The Company has chosen to adopt FRS 102, Section 11 Basic Financial Instruments and 12 Other Financial Instruments Issues of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (at transaction price excluding transaction costs) unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset in the Company balance sheet when, and only when, there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Debt instruments (other than those repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the present value of the future cash flows and subsequently amortised using the effective interest method.
Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash on hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments which mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

2.5. Financial Instruments - continued
Convertible debt
On issuing convertible debt that contain both a liability and an equity component, the Company allocates the proceeds between the liability component and the equity component. To make the allocation, the Company first determines the amount of the liability component as the fair value of a similar liability that does not have a conversion feature or similar associated equity component. 
The Company allocates the residual amount as the equity component. Transaction costs are allocated between the debt component and the equity component on the basis of their relative fair values. The Company does not revise the allocation in a subsequent period. In periods after the instruments were issued, the Company accounts for the liability component as a financial instrument in accordance with Section 11 Basic Financial Instruments or Section 12 Other Financial Instruments Issues as appropriate. 
The Company has adopted a policy whereby amounts previously recognised in other reserves relating to the equity component of convertible instruments are reclassified to share premium upon conversion.
Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated financial instrument.
Impairment
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when:
• the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled;
• the Company transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another party; or
• the Company, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
2.6. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.7. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
...CONTINUED

Page 4
2.7. Taxation - continued
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
2.8. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.9. Share-based payments
The fair value of employee share options is calculated when they are granted using a Black-Scholes model. The resulting cost is charged in the Profit and Loss account, as an employee benefit expense, over the vesting period of the option or award together with a corresponding increase in equity. The cumulative expense recognised is the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the Profit & Loss Account for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
