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.

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

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

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.
