1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Principia Technica Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's

registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added

tax and other sales taxes.

Income is recognised once the company receives the right to receive consideration following the completion of the

company's obligation within a contract. Where necessary, adjustments are made through amount receivable on contracts in

debtors to accrue for work invoiced after the balance sheet date.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Office equipment

-

25% on reducing balance

Computer equipment

-

33% on cost

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent

that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively

enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in

which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted

or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be

recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

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 of exchange ruling at the date of transaction.

Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are

charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Impairment

At each reporting date, goodwill and other fixed assets, including tangible fixed assets and investments but excluding

investment properties, are assessed to determine whether there is an indication that the carrying amount of an asset may be

more than its recoverable amount and that the asset should be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the

recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of its value in use and its net realisable value, is estimated and compared

with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its estimated

recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Financial instruments

The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and

liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable.

Debt instruments, like loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future

payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or

receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the

undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a

short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business

terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an outright short-term loan not at market rate,

the financial asset or liability is measured, initially and subsequently, at the present value of the future payment discounted at

a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

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 in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's

carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a

financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest

rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's

carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if

it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an enforceable right

to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the

liability simultaneously.
