Accounting policies
1.1
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).
1.2
Compliance with accounting standards
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which have been applied consistently (except as otherwise stated).
1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable for the provision of data products and data science services provided before the balance sheet date, net of VAT and trade discounts.
1.4
Research and development
Development expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the year in which it is incurred unless the directors are satisfied as to the technical, commercial and financial viability of individual projects. In this situation, the expenditure is deferred and amortised over the period during which the company is expected to benefit, which is considered to be 10 years.
1.5
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Computer equipment
33.33% per annum on a straight line basis
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
33.33% per annum on a straight line basis
1.6
Foreign currency translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to profit and loss account.
1.7
A prior year adjustment has been made to reclassify grant income to show a more realistic allocation of the income. There is no effect on the results for the year as a result of this adjustment.
