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.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. 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.
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
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 rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Land & buildings relates to leasehold improvements. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Land & buildings
20% Straight Line Basis
Plant & machinery
25% Straight Line Basis
Motor vehicles

Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the company's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date. Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made
Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. In respect of work in progress and finished goods, cost includes a relevant proportion of overheads according to the stage of manufacturing/completion.
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are recognised in the profit and loss account when due.
The company uses various financial instruments, including bank loans, revolving credit facilities, cash and various items such as trade debtors and creditors that arise from operations. The primary function of these instruments is to ensure sufficient cashflow to support the company?s operations. The existence of these instruments exposes the company to a number of financial risks, as described below:
The company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity and working capital is available to meet the need of the company. Short term flexibility is available through revolving credit facilities. The maturity of borrowings is set out in note 7 to the financial statements.
The company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations on borrowings is managed with the use of fixed rate facilities.

The company is predominantly a B2B operation, with shared upside from consumer spending. Contracted floor rates for the provision of the company?s platform reduce the impact of potential reduction in spending patterns from end users.
The company has considered the potential impact of Brexit on the business:
Labour mobility: the company does not employ any non-UK nationals and does not compete in hiring staff against low skilled labour employers. The company does expect to find skilled software development staff increasingly difficult to find and manages this risk by developing its own internal training programme.
Supply chain friction: the company sources hardware (notably Chromebooks) from outside of the EU.
Regulatory and policy: the company does not consider there to be any regulatory or policy impact on the business.
Tax: the company does not consider there to be any significant tax implications impacting the business.
Macroeconomic: a fall in the value of sterling would increase the cost of importing goods from outside of the UK and this could have an impact the cost of supply of Chromebooks. Global demand for Chromebooks has grown year-on-year in excess of 65% and ongoing global chip shortages are impacting availability of stock. The number of orders that the company places are relatively few in any one year so delays are not expected to have a material impact on the trading performance on the business.
Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.
Effective from 1 April 2024, the Company revised its accounting policy to capitalise directly attributable staff costs relating to qualifying software development projects. Under the previous policy, all such staff costs were recognised as an expense when incurred.
Capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over three years, commencing immediately from the date of capitalisation.
This change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively to expenditure incurred on or after 1 April 2024. For the year ended 31 March 2025, the impact of the change was as follows:
- An increase in intangible fixed assets of £305,911
- Recognition of amortisation on capitalised costs of £50,796
- An increase in profit before tax of £255,115
