Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Patently Limited is a private company,  limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 11092693 . The registered office is Fairfax House, 15 Fulwood Place, London, WC1V 6HU.
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. Going Concern Disclosure
The company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the company’s needs. In assessing going concern, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue as a going concern and is able to meet all of its obligations as they fall due for a minimum of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
2.3. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated  contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
2.4. Research and Development
Expenditure on research activities is recognised within profit or loss as an expense is incurred.
Development costs are capitalised only where they can be identified with a specific product or project that will generate probable future economic benefits, the costs can be reliably measured and all the criteria under FRS 102 are met. They are amortised on a straight line basis to profit or loss over their estimated useful life. Amortisation begins when the intangible asset is available for use. All other development costs are expenses as incurred.
Intangibles and Research and Development
Capitalised development costs are reviewed annually, and where future benefits are deemed to have ceased or to be in doubt, the balance is written off to profit or loss.
Capitalised development costs are not treated as a realised loss for the purpose of determining the company’s distributable profits as the costs meet the conditions permitting them to be treated as an asset under FRS 102.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Software development – 3 to 4 years on a straight line basis
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Any impairment loss is recognised immediately as an expense within profit or loss.
2.5. 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 & Machinery over 2 years on a straight line basis

2.6. Financial Instruments
Trade and other debtors / creditors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction prices less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found an impairment loss is recognised within profit or loss.
For financial assets that are measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
2.7. Foreign Currencies
Monetary 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.
2.8. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income 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.
Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss.
2.9. 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.
