Development costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of eight years.

The intangible asset's value is recognised on a company's balance sheet as it meet IAS 38 criteria, being identifiable, the cost can be reliably measured, and there is probable future economic benefits that will flow to the entity.

The design and development costs have been revalued by the directors in 2025 by £1.2m, as this recognises the true value of the the assets that generate the company's revenue.This value has been based on the fair value that can be reliably measured through an active market.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and Machinery etc - 50% on cost, 25% on cost and 20% on cost

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.
