MYRTLE SOFTWARE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04978210)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Myrtle Software Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Significant judgements and estimates
The directors have made judgements for the useful economic lives of the fixed assets acquired in the year and owned by the company from previous years. Due to the nature of the company's business in research and development, they believe that the short useful economic lives used as the basis of the depreciation charge are justified as the assets concerned will need to be replaced far more regularly than would be the case in other businesses using similar assets.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Office Equipment - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 50% on cost

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

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

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. 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.

During the previous year, the lease on the company's premises was renogotiated with a new agreement replacing the original agreement, effective from 02 April 2024.

The rent is £117,500 per annum, with an expectation that a fair proportion of the total service charge will also be paid. In total, this amounts to a combined annual liability of £159,252. There is a break clause date of 01 April 2026.The liability from the balance sheet date ot the break clause date is £40,021.

Another lease agreement for an office in Denmark was entered into during 2022, effective from 20 June 2022. The notice period is three months. The office was still occupied at the balance sheet date, with no notice having been given. Though the agreement was paused for a short period spanning the balance sheet date, at DKK 4,218 per month upon restarting on 25th January 2026, the liability stated above therefore includes £1,081 for the three months' obligation at the GBP equivalent on 31 December 2025.
