Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Going concern

Whilst the current trading environment continues to be difficult, the directors, staff and LAC Co. Ltd, Japan, have provided financial support to the company which will allow it to continue to grow and develop its products further and to continue investing in research and development activity. On this basis, notwithstanding the trading loss for the year under review, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.

Revenue recognition

The company's turnover is disclosed net of Value Added Tax and derives from:

- computer software licences and related maintenance agreements, and
- research projects undertaken on behalf of clients.

Income from traditional computer software licences is recognised at the time of sale. Income from maintenance agreements is initially taken to a deferred income account and released to the profit and loss account evenly over the term of the agreement. Where customers take advantage of newer monthly or annual subscription licences, which offer the right to use the software, support and upgrades during the subscription period, income is recognised evenly on a monthly basis during the subscription period. Income from research projects is matched against the related costs as they are incurred.

Accounting policies (continued)

Foreign currency transactions and balances

These accounts are presented in Sterling which the company considers to be its functional currency. All other currencies are foreign currencies.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially measured at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. At the year end monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the year end exchange rate.

Exchange differences arising on translation and settlement of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

The charge for taxation takes into account taxation deferred as a result of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred taxation is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. However, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider it is probable there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Deferred taxation is measured on a non-discounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and the law enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Office equipment

25% per annum of cost

Development costs

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Investments

Investments in unlisted securities are initially measured at cost (including transaction costs) and are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Accounting policies (continued)

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Defined contribution pension obligation

The company contributes to defined contribution pension schemes on behalf of its staff. Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed to the profit and loss account when they are due.

Financial instruments

Classification
Financial instruments are classified on initial recognition as either basic or more complex under sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102. To date, the company has only entered into transactions involving basic financial instruments.
 Recognition and measurement
Investments in unlisted entities are initially measured at cost (including transaction costs) and are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Basic financial liabilities are initially recognised at the proceeds of the loan, less separately incurred transaction costs. Subsequently, loans received are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 13 (2024 - 15).
