Impairment of Intangible Assets
Impairment tests on goodwill and assets in the course of construction are
undertaken annually at the financial year end. Other non-financial assets are
subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of
an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and
fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly. Where it
is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
impairment test is carried out on the asset's cash-generating unit (i.e. the
lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows).
Impairment charges are included in the administrative expenses line item in the
consolidated income statement, except to the extent they reverse gains
previously recognised in the consolidated statement of
recognised income and expense.
Consideration of impairment indicators and an impairment test (if required) may
be performed at any time during an annual period, provided it is performed at
the same time every year. Different intangible asset may be tested for
impairment at different times. The Board of Bright Things consider impairment of
intangible assets annually at the balance sheet date.
Internally generated intangible assets (research and development costs)
Research and development
Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalised if it can be
demonstrated that:
* it is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold;
* adequate resources are available to complete the development;
* there is an intention to complete and sell the product;
* the group is able to sell the product;
* sale of the product will generate future economic benefits; and
* expenditure on the project can be measured reliably.
Capitalised development costs are amortised straight-line over the useful
economic life being the period that prudently simulates the flow of revenues
from a typical product. At the close of each fiscal year products are reviewed
for any loss of value where there is an indication of impairment. Where the
expected contribution made by a product does not exceed the expected total cost
of development then an impairment provision is made. The amortisation expense is
included within administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement.
Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the
research phase of internal projects are recognised in the consolidated income
statement as incurred.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of
an asset or liability in the balance sheet differs from its tax base, except for
differences arising on:
* the initial recognition of goodwill; and
* the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a
business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither
accounting or taxable profit.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
difference can be utilised.
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected
to apply when the deferred tax liabilities/(assets) are settled/(recovered).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the group has a legally
enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred
tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on
either:
* the same taxable group company; or
* different group entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and
liabilities on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred
tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation
and provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided on all property plant and
equipment, at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual
value, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. The
residual value is the estimated amount that would currently be obtained from
disposal of the asset if the asset were already of the age and in the condition
expected at the end of its useful economic life.
The method of depreciation for each class of depreciable asset is:
Computer equipment - 3 years straight line
Office fixtures, fittings & equipment - 3 years straight line
The carrying value of tangible fixed assets is assessed annually and any
impairment is charged to the income statement.
Taxation
Corporation tax payable is provided on taxable profits at prevailing rates.
Licence fees
Licence fees payable to organisations for use of their Intellectual Property are
charged to the income statement over their useful economic lives, which, to the
Group, equates to the forecast period of product sales. Management regularly
reviews the carrying value of such licences. All licence fees in these Group
financial statements have been charged to the income statement as incurred.
Royalties payable
Royalties are accounted for as payable when units of hardware or software are
sold into the sales channel by our distributor and calculated in accordance with
the commercial terms entered into with licensors
