Notes to the Financial Statements
|
|
Year ended 31 December 2021
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Park Farm Technology Centre, Kirtlington, Kidlington, Oxfordshire, OX5 3JQ.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These unaudited accounts have been prepared on the ongoing concern basis.
Intellectual property rights
Intellectual property rights acquired from third parties are capitalised at cost and amortised over their useful economic life which is estimated to be up to 10 years. Provision is made for any impairment in value. Internally generated property rights are not capitalised.
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year when it is incurred.
Capital instruments
Capital instruments are recorded at their net proceeds. Finance costs are recognised in the profit and loss account over the life of each instrument.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises.

Contingencies
As at the 31 December 2021 the company had a contingent income. On 31 July 2012 the company sold its entire patent estate to Mechadyne International Limited for a consideration of €1,000,000 (£807,037) payable at completion. An additional €100,000 was paid in January 2016 and a further €250,000 was paid in March 2017. There are two additional contingent elements of consideration: i) a sum of €450,000 payable upon certain sales targets being achieved by Mechadyne International Limited and ii) a further deferred, contingent sum whose quantum would be calculated by reference to future sales values and volumes. At 31 December 2021 there were historical agreements with the directors of the business who worked on the sale of the patent estate whereby amounts totalling 2% of any further consideration are payable.
