1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Technopolis 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.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents revenue recognised by the company in respect of services supplied, excluding value added tax.

Revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. When the outcome of the project can be estimated reliably, the company uses the percentage of completion method based on the actual service performed as a percentage of the total services to be provided.

Where this revenue exceeds the amount invoiced, the excess is included within debtors as amounts recoverable on contracts. Where the amount invoiced exceeds the revenue recognised the excess is included within creditors as deferred income.

Where work on a project is assessed as insufficiently complete at the year end for its outcome to be assessed with certainty it is included in turnover at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all direct expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on tangible assets is calculated to allocate the depreciable amount to their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Fixtures and fittings

15% on reducing balance

Computer equipment

33% on reducing balance

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

The financial statements are presented in pound sterling.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Operating leased assets

Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a number of defined contribution plans for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid Technopolis Limited has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
