1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Chronos Technology 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 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 represents amounts earned in respect of goods sold and services provided during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax, together with income from the spares support programme ("SSP") as detailed below.

The company provides support to customers in the form of module replacement for faulty units. Such support is invoiced on installation of the equipment sold, or annually on an ongoing basis. Turnover in respect of this income is recognised over the term of the support agreement.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Land and buildings

-

2% on cost

Plant and machinery etc

-

at varying rates on cost

Government grants

Grants relating to research and development expenditure are treated as deferred income and released to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method.

The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and , where applicable direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to it's selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.

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.

Research and development

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates two defined contribution pension schemes, a self administered scheme operated for the benefit of Prof.C.W.T Curry and A. M. Curry, and a separate money purchase scheme available to all other employees. The assets of the schemes are held separate from those of the Company in independently administered funds.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
