4 Going concern
The ?nancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. At balance sheet date
the company had net liabilities and net current liabilities of ?19,360 and ?8,717 respectively.
Thus, there is a material uncertainty that may cast signi?cant doubt on the entity?s ability to
continue as a going concern and, therefore, the company may be unable to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The directors have, however, obtained assurances from the parent company and ultimate
shareholders that the latter will continue to provide ?nancial support to enable the company
to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Based on the foregoing the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the
?nancial statements on a going concern basis.
5 Summary of accounting policies
The signi?cant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these ?nancial
statements are summarised below.
The ?nancial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases speci?ed by IFRS
for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully
described in the accounting policies below.
The preparation of ?nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and. various other factors that are believed to
be reasonable and reliable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
In the opinion of the directors, the accounting estimates and judgements made in the course
of preparing these ?nancial statements are not dif?cult, subjective or complex to a degree
which would warrant their description as critical in terms of the requirements of IAS 1
(revised).
Income and expense recognition
The company? revenue is stated net of related payouts and charge backs.
Interest receivable is recognised on an accruals basis.
Operating expenses are recognised in the income statement upon utilisation of the service or
at the date of their origin.

Based on the foregoing the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the
?nancial statements on a going concern basis.
5 Summary of accounting policies
The signi?cant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these ?nancial
statements are summarised below.
The ?nancial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases speci?ed by IFRS
for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully
described in the accounting policies below.
The preparation of ?nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and. various other factors that are believed to
be reasonable and reliable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
In the opinion of the directors, the accounting estimates and judgements made in the course
of preparing these ?nancial statements are not dif?cult, subjective or complex to a degree
which would warrant their description as critical in terms of the requirements of IAS 1
(revised).
Income and expense recognition
The company? revenue is stated net of related payouts and charge backs.
Interest receivable is recognised on an accruals basis.
Operating expenses are recognised in the income statement upon utilisation of the service or
at the date of their origin.

Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the company
using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate).
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items at year?end exchange rates are
recognised in the income statement.
Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are carried at acquisition cost less subsequent
depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to write off the cost or valuation of
the assets over their estimated useful lives on the following bases:
Computer equipment 25
Impairment testing of assets
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped 'at the lowest levels for which
there are largely independent cash inflows (cash?generating units). As a result, some assets
are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset?s or cash?generating
unit?s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. To determine the value in use, the
company?s management estimates expected future cash ?ows from each cash'generating unit
and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash
?ows. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect
their respective risk pro?les as assessed by the company?s management.
Impairment losses are recognised immediately in pro?t or loss. Impairmmt losses for cash?
generating units are charged pro rata to the assets in the cash?generating unit- All assets are
subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no
longer exist. An impairment charge that has been recognised is reversed if the cash
generating unit?s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount. An impairment loss is
reversed only to the extent that the asset?s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined net of depreciation or amortisation, if no
impairment loss had been recognised.

Financial assets
The company?s ?nancial assets other than cash and cash equivalents fall into the category of
loans and receivables. A summary of ?nancial assets by category is given in note 17.5.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative ?nancial assets with ?xed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. These are initially recognised at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision
for impairment. Discounting however, is omitted where the effect of discounting is
immaterial. A provision for impairment of loans and receivables is established when here is
objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to
the original terms of receivables.
Loans and receivables are considered for impairment on a case-by?case basis and the
provision is based on management?s assessment of the amount recoverable on each
receivable.
Any change in the value of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss.
Income taxes
Current income tax assets andg? or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from,
?scal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are unpaid at the end of
the reporting period.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences.
Deferred tax is generally provided on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities and their tax bases.
In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits are
assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are
expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always
provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
they will be able to be offset against future taxable income.
The company?s management bases its assessment of the probability of future taxable income
on the company's latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for signi?cant non-
taxable income and expenses and speci?c limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. If
a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, that
deferred tax asset is recognised in full.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in
the income statement, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly
to equity in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

Risk management objectives and policies
The company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk through its use of
?nancial instruments, which result from its operating activities. The company's risk
management is coordinated by the directors and focuses on actively securing the company's
short to medium term cash ?ows by minimising the exposure to ?nancial risks.
The most signi?cant ?nancial risks to which the company is exposed to are described below.
17.1 Foreign currency risk
The company transacts business in Euro and had no signi?cant foreign currency
denominated ?nancial assets and liabilities at the end of the ?nancial reporting period under
review. Consequently the company?s exposure to foreign currency risk is considered
negligible.
17.2 Interest rate risk
The company?s exposure to interest rate risk is limited since its borrowings do not carry any
interest charge.
17.3 Credit risk
The company?s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of ?nancial assets
recognised at the end of the reporting period, as summarised below:
2011
Classes of ?nancial assets carrying amounts
Loan receivable 33,766
Cash and cash equivalents 521
34,287
The company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties,
identi?ed either individually or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit
risk controls.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the company is not exposed to any signi?cant
credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar
characteristics. The credit risk for liquid funds is considered negligible, since the
counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

committed credit facilities to ensure the availability of an adequate amount of funding to
