  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover comprises revenue earned from the sale of software and from the rendering of support services. Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of software is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity and the costs incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. Revenue from the rendering of support services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period provided that the outcome can be reliably estimated. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Computer equipment 25% reducing balance Office equipment 25% reducing balance If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Any intangible assets carried at a revalued amount are recorded at their value at the date of revaluation, as determined by reference to an active market, less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The value of intangible assets, comprising goodwill and intellectual property, is considered by the director each year. The director is of the opinion that the value of intangible assets is greater than the value being carried in the accounts and has not provided for any further amortisation in this current year.

    Other accounting policies

    Impairment 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.
