Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Storm Communications Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, the registered number is 02874186 . The registered office is 5 Brewery Yard Sheep Street, Stow On The Wold, Cheltenham, GL54 1AA.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the provision of services and is recogonised at the point of invoice. If the provision of services spans the financial year end, it is measured by reviewing the actual services performed against the total services to be provided and is only recognised if it can be estimated reliably.
2.3. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and machinery 25% Reducing balance method
Fixtures and fittings 25% Reducing balance method
Computer equipment 25% Reducing balance method
2.4. Investment Properties
All investment properties are carried at fair value and reviewed annually to determine whether a revaluation is required. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.
2.5. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and are recognised at transaction price less any impairment. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due.
Other debtors and creditors are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and bank overdrafts.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received.

2.6. Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.7. Taxation
The taxation expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they related to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit and loss account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax has not been recognised as it is not material to the financial statements. The directors will review this annually.
2.8. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Page 5
2.9. Share Based Payment
The company operates an Enterprise Management Incentive (“EMI”) share option scheme for certain employees and directors. The scheme is accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement.
The fair value of options granted under the scheme is determined at the date of grant using an appropriate valuation methodology, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
The fair value of the options are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase recognised within equity.
At each reporting date, the company revises its estimate of the number of options expected to vest based on service and non-market vesting conditions. The impact of any revision is recognised in the profit and loss account, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
Where options lapse or are forfeited before vesting, any expense previously recognised in relation to those options is reversed where appropriate.
Upon exercise of the options, the proceeds received, together with amounts previously recognised in equity in relation to those options, are credited to share capital and share premium.
