Development expenditure is capitalised where the criteria set out in FRS 102 are met. Management has assessed that these criteria are satisfied.
Capitalised development costs are not amortised until the related asset is available for use, being when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to operate as intended by management.
Until this point, capitalised costs are presented as intangible assets in development and are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Once the asset becomes available for use, it is transferred to intangible assets in use and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful economic life.
Intangible assets in development are reviewed annually for indicators of impairment.
As of the company year end 31 December 2025 the asset remains in development, with no amortisation applied. The asset has been reviewed for impairment, and concluded that no impairment was necessary.
