1.	COMPANY INFORMATION

Octopos 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 company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Directors' Report.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small

Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and

Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary

amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting

policies adopted are set out below.

Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company

has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors

continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover represents net invoiced sales of services, excluding value added tax.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost

less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of four years.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Fixtures and fittings

-

25% on cost

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid

investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown

within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12

'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are

recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets

and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally

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.

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, amounts due from group undertakings and cash

and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently

carried at amortised cost. Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows

from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the

risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are

retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an

unrelated third party.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and amounts due to group undertakings are

initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the

debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Financial

liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligations are discharged,

cancelled, or they expire.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and loss account,

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.

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.
