Directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2007 

The  directors  present  herewith  their  report  and  the  audited  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  30  June 
2007.  These are the Company’s first accounts prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ending 30 June 
2007. 

Business Review and Principal Activities 
The Group's principal activity continues to be the development, licensing and post contract support of computer 
software for the healthcare industry.  

The  Group  has  continued  to  enhance  its  product  range  and  functionality,  whilst  increasing  the  number  of 
hospitals  using  its  software  products  within  its  market  in  the  USA.  The  directors  are  satisfied  with  the 
performance of the Company and Group for the year and expect this growth, as set out below, to continue in 
future years. 

Principal Risks and Uncertainties and Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) 
The  directors  consider  that  the  US  healthcare  software  market  is  likely  to  continue  to  provide  growth 
opportunities  for  the  Company’s  existing  products  and  development  pipeline.    In  addition,  and  with  a  high 
contract  renewal  rate,  the  Company’s  predominantly  annuity-based  pricing  models  and  revenue  recognition 
approach gives a high degree of revenue visibility and earnings growth predictability.   

Nevertheless the market continues to be very competitive following a period of M&A activity and new product 
offerings.  The  Company  therefore  requires  to  remain  at  the  forefront  of  product  innovation  and  delivery, 
through  a  combination  of  in-house  development  whilst  assessing  opportunistic  acquisition.  This  requires  the 
recruitment, retention, and reward of skilled staff, alongside a responsiveness to opportunities as they arise.   

With approximately one third of its cost denominated in Sterling, a continuing weak US $ will have an effect 
on earnings growth. 

The directors consider that the Group’s risk profile is not significantly different from  other companies of its 
size, and continue to monitor any risks and uncertainties as they arise, and take whatever action is considered 
necessary to minimise the Group’s exposure.  The main financial risks are detailed in Note 3 to the financial 
statements. 

The directors consider that the following operating and financial KPIs are useful to give an understanding of 
the development, performance, and position of the business:

Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2007 (continued) 

Dividends 
An  interim  dividend  of  $1,000,000  was  paid  in  the  year  (2006:  $nil).    The  directors  do  not  recommend  the 
payment of a final dividend (2006: $nil). 

Going Concern 
The directors have reviewed the financial forecast for the group and consider that it is appropriate to prepare 
the financial statements on the going concern basis. 

Research and development activities 
The Group continues to develop software products for the US healthcare industry.

The Company has an obligation to grant options over 500 Ordinary shares to J G Watson, a former executive 
director.   

Employee Involvement 
The general policy of the Company is to welcome employee involvement as far as it is reasonably practicable.  
Employees are kept informed by meeting, regular updates and web page postings. 

Employment of Disabled Persons 
Applications  for  employment  by  disabled  persons  are  always  fully  considered,  bearing  in  mind  the  respective 
aptitudes and abilities of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled every effort 
is made to ensure that their employment with the Group continues and the appropriate training is arranged. It is 
the policy of the company that the training, career development and promotion of a disabled person should, as far 
as possible, be identical to that of a person who does not suffer from a disability. 

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities 
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with 
applicable law and regulations.

Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2007 (continued) 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and 
fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group.  Under that law the directors have elected to 
prepare  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  as 
adopted by the European Union.  In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to: 

•  Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 
•  Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 
•  State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures 

disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

•  Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that 

the Group and Company will continue in business 

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at 
any  time  the  financial  position  of  the  company  and  the  group  and  for  ensuring  that  the  financial  statements 
comply with the Companies Act 1985.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and 
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

Creditor Payment Policy 
It is company policy to settle all debts with its creditors on a timely basis, taking account of the credit period 
given by each supplier.  The company’s average payment period at 30 June 2007 was 29 days (2006: 14 days). 

Auditors and Disclosure of Information to Auditors 
Each director, as at the date of this report, has confirmed that insofar as they are aware there is no relevant audit 
information (that is, information needed by the Company’s auditors in connection with preparing their report) of 
which the Company’s auditors are unaware, and they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a 
director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s 
auditors are aware of that information. 

A  resolution  to  reappoint  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP  as  auditors  will  be  proposed  at  the  annual  general 
meeting.

Independent auditors' report to the members of Craneware Limited 

We have audited the group and parent company financial statements of Craneware Limited for the year ended 
30 June 2007 which comprise the Group Income Statement, the Group Statement of Recognised Income and 
Expense,  the  Group  and  Company  Balance  Sheets,  the  Group  Cash  Flow  Statement  and  the  related  notes.  
These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein. 

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors 

The directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with 
applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union are 
set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities. 

Our  responsibility  is  to  audit  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  relevant  legal  and  regulatory 
requirements  and  International  Standards  on  Auditing  (UK  and  Ireland).    This  report,  including  the  opinion, 
has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a body in accordance with Section 235 of the 
Companies  Act  1985  and  for  no  other  purpose.    We  do  not,  in  giving  this  opinion,  accept  or  assume 
responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it 
may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing. 

We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly 
prepared  in  accordance  with the  Companies  Act  1985.   We  report  to  you  if,  in  our opinion,  the  information 
given  in  the  Directors'  Report  is  consistent  with  the  financial  statements.    We  also  report  to  you  if,  in  our 
opinion, the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and 
explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors' remuneration and 
transactions is not disclosed. 

We read the Directors’ report and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent 
misstatements within it. 

Basis of audit opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by 
the  Auditing  Practices  Board.  An  audit  includes  examination,  on  a  test  basis,  of  evidence  relevant  to  the 
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates 
and  judgements  made  by  the  directors  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements,  and  of  whether  the 
accounting  policies  are  appropriate  to  the  group’s  and  company's  circumstances,  consistently  applied  and 
adequately disclosed. 

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered 
necessary  in  order  to  provide  us  with  sufficient  evidence  to  give  reasonable  assurance  that  the  financial 
statements  are  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  caused  by  fraud  or  other  irregularity  or  error.  In 
forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial 
statements.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2007 

Basis of preparation 
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), 
IFRIC interpretations and with those parts of the Companies Act 1985 applicable to companies reporting under 
IFRS.    The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historic  cost  convention.    A  summary  of  the 
more important accounting policies is set out below, together with an explanation of where changes have been 
made to previous policies on the adoption of new accounting standards in the year, if applicable. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.    Although  these  estimates  are  based  on 
management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those 
estimates. 

IFRS 1 (First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards) sets out the rules for first time 
adoption of IFRS.  Generally, a company must determine IFRS compliant accounting policies and then apply 
these retrospectively to derive it’s opening or “transition” balance sheet. 

The impact of adopting IFRS on the income statement and balance sheet for the year ended 30 June 2006 is set 
out in Note 27. 

1 

Principal accounting policies 

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  these  accounts  are  set  out  below.    These 
policies have been consistently applied , unless otherwise stated. 

Reporting currency 
The  Directors  consider  that  as  the  Group’s  revenues  are  primarily  denominated  in  US  dollars  the  principal 
functional currency is the US dollar. The Group’s financial statements are therefore prepared in US dollars. 

Currency Translation 
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into US 
dollars at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.  Exchange gains or losses arising upon subsequent 
settlement  of  the  transactions  and  from  translation  at  the  balance  sheet  date,  are  included  within  the  related 
category of expense where separately identifiable, or in general and administrative expenses. 

Basis of consolidation 
The  consolidated  income  statement  and  balance  sheet  include  the  accounts  of  the  parent  company  and  its 
subsidiary  made  up  to  the  end  of  the  financial  year.    Intra  group  revenue  and  profits  are  eliminated  on 
consolidation and all sales and profit figures relate to external transactions only.  As permitted by Section 230 
of the Companies Act 1985, the income statement of the parent company is not presented. 

Revenue recognition 
The  Group  follows  the  principles  of  IAS  18,  “Revenue  Recognition”,  in  determining  appropriate  revenue 
recognition  policies.  In  principle  revenue  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  the  economic 
benefits associated with the transaction will flow into the Group.

Principal accounting policies (continued) 

Revenue comprises the value of software license sales, installation, training, maintenance and support services, 
and consulting engagements.  Revenue is recognised when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 
(ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price has been fixed and determinable; 
and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  

For  software  arrangements  with  multiple  elements,  revenue  is  recognised  dependent  on  whether  vendor-
specific  objective  evidence  (“VSOE”)  of  fair  value  exists  for  each  of  the  elements.  VSOE  is  determined  by 
reference  to  sales  to  external  customers  made  on  a  stand-alone  basis.    Where  there  is  no  VSOE  revenue  is 
recognised rateably over the full term of each contract. 

Revenue  from  standard  license  products  which  are  not  modified  to  meet  the  specific  requirements  of  each 
customer is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership of the product are transferred to the customer. 

Revenue  from  installation  and  training  is  recognised  as  services  are  provided,  and  from  consulting 
engagements when all obligations under the consulting agreement have been fulfilled. 

Software sub licensed to third parties is recognised in accordance with the underlying contractual agreements.  
Where separate services are delivered, revenue is recognised on delivery of the service.  All other revenue is 
recognised rateably over the term of the sub licence agreement. 

The excess of amounts invoiced and future invoicing over revenue recognised, is included in deferred revenue. 
If  the  amount  of  revenue  recognised  exceeds  the  amounts  invoiced  the  excess  amount  is  included  within 
accounts receivable.       

Tangible assets – Plant and Equipment 
All equipment and fixtures are stated at historical cost less depreciation.  Depreciation is provided to write off 
the cost less estimated residual values of tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives.  It is calculated at 
the following rates: 

Computer equipment 
Tenants improvements 
Office furniture 

- 33% straight line 
- 20% straight line 
- 25% straight line 

Where  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  is  greater  than  its  estimated  recoverable  amount,  it  is  written  down 
immediately to its recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposal of assets are included in operating profit. 

Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.  
The  cost  of  major  renovations  is  included  in  the  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  when  it  is  probable  that  future 
economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to 
the Group. 

Acquired Intangible Assets 
Computer software and licensed to use technology are capitalised at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis 
over a prudent estimate of the time that the Group is expected to benefit from them, which is typically three to 
five years.

Principal accounting policies (continued) 

Intangible Assets – Research and Development Expenditure 
Expenditure  associated  with  developing  and  maintaining  the  Group’s  software  products  are  recognised  as 
incurred. Where, however, new product development projects are technically feasible, production and sale is 
intended,  a  market  exists,  expenditure  can  be  measured  reliably,  and  sufficient  resources  are  available  to 
complete such projects, development expenditure is capitalised until initial commercialisation of the product, 
and  thereafter  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  its  estimated  useful  life.  Staff  costs  and  specific  third 
party costs involved with the development of the software are included within amounts capitalised. 

Impairment Tests 
The Group considers whether there is any indication that non-current assets are impaired on an annual basis. If 
there  is  such  an  indication,  the  Group  carries  out  an  impairment  test  by  measuring  the  assets’  recoverable 
amount, which is the higher of the assets’ fair value less costs to sell and their value in use. If the recoverable 
amount is less than the carrying amount an impairment loss is recognised. 

Taxation 
The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the period and takes into account deferred taxation.  Taxation 
is computed using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined 
based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are 
measured using enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  The 
deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that 
at  the  time  of  the  transaction  affects  neither  accounting  nor  taxable  profit  or  loss.    Deferred  tax  assets  are 
recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profits  will  arise  against  which  the  temporary 
differences will be utilised. 

Deferred  tax  is  provided  on  temporary  differences  arising  on  investments  in  subsidiaries  except  where  the 
timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary  difference  is  controlled  by  the  Group  and  it  is  probable  that  the 
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising in the 
same tax jurisdiction are offset. 

In the UK and the US, the Group is entitled to a tax deduction for amounts treated as compensation on exercise 
of  certain  employee  share  options  under  each  jurisdiction’s  tax  rules.    As  explained  under  “Share-based 
payments” below, a compensation expense is recorded in the Group’s income statement over the period from 
the  grant  date  to  the  vesting  date  of  the  relevant  options.    As  there  is  a  temporary  difference  between  the 
accounting  and  tax  bases  a  deferred  tax  asset  is  recorded.    The  deferred  tax  asset  arising  is  calculated  by 
comparing the estimated amount of tax deduction to be obtained in the future (based on the Company’s share 
price  at  the  balance  sheet  date)  with  the  cumulative  amount  of  the  compensation  expense  recorded  in  the 
income  statement.    If  the  amount  of  estimated  future  tax  deduction  exceeds  the  cumulative  amount  of  the 
remuneration expense at the statutory rate, the excess is recorded directly in equity against retained earnings. 

Investments in subsidiary 
The investment in subsidiary is stated at cost. 

Operating leases 
The costs of operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the duration of the leases in arriving at 
operating profit. 

Grants 
Grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received 
and the company will comply with all conditions pertaining to the grant.  Government grants relating to costs 
are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs 
that they are intended to compensate.

Principal accounting policies (continued) 

Financial assets 
The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: (i) at fair value through profit and loss, (ii) 
loans  and  receivables  and  (iii)  available  for  sale.    The  classification  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the 
financial  assets  were  acquired.    Management  determines  the  classification  of  its  financial  assets  at  initial 
recognition.    At  each  balance  sheet  date  included  in  the  financial  information,  the  group  held  only  items 
classified as loans and receivables. 

Loans  and  receivables  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not 
quoted in an active market.  They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months 
after the balance sheet date.  These are classified as non-current assets.  Loans and receivables are classified as 
‘trade and other receivables’ in the balance sheet. 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less provision for impairments.  A provision for impairment of trade receivables is 
established  when  there  is  objective  evidence  that  the  group  will  not  be  able  to  collect  all  amounts  due 
according the original terms of the receivables.  Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that 
the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 
90 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.  The amount of the provision 
is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, 
discounted at the original effective interest rate.  The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of 
an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement within ‘net operating 
expenses’.  When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade 
receivables.    Subsequent  recoveries  of  amounts  previously  written  off  are  credited  against  net  operating 
expenses in the income statement. 

Financial liabilities 
The only financial liability held by the group at each balance sheet date included in the financial information is 
trade payables.  Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method.  

Inventories 
Inventories consist of consumables and are valued at the lower of costs and net realisable value. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  in  hand,  deposits  held  with  banks  and  short  term  highly  liquid 
investments.  For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand, 
deposits held with banks and short term high liquid investments. 

Employee Benefits 
The Group operates a defined contribution Stakeholder Pension Scheme as described in Section 3 of Welfare 
Reform and Pensions Act 1999.  Private medical insurance is also provided to every employee.   

Share Based Payments 
The  Group  issues  equity-settled  share  based  payments  to  certain  employees.    In  accordance  with  IFRS  2, 
“Share Based Payments” equity-settled share based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. 
Fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes pricing model as amended to cater for the share options in 
issue over incentive shares where vesting is based on future valuation performance conditions. The fair value 
determined at the date of grant of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis 
over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest. 

The share-based payments charge is shown separately on the income statement and is also included in ‘Other 
reserves’.

Principal accounting policies (continued) 

Dividends 
Dividends are recorded in the accounts in the year in which they are approved by the shareholders.  Interim 
dividends are recognised as a distribution when paid. 

Forthcoming Accounting Standards 
At the date of approval of these financial statements the following standards which have not been applied in 
these financial statements were in issue but not yet effective: IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and 
IFRS 8 “Segment Reporting”.  The Directors expect that the adoption of these standards and interpretations in 
future periods will have no material impact on the financial statements when they come into effect for periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2007. 

2  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
the  directors  to  make  critical  accounting  estimates  and  judgements  that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  the 
financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  The  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of 
causing  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  financial  year  are 
discussed below:- 

•  Provision  for  impairment  of  trade  receivables:-  the  Group  assesses  trade  receivables  for 
impairment which requires the directors to estimate the likelihood of payment forfeiture by customers 

•  Revenue recognition:- the Group assesses the economic benefit that will flow from future milestone 
payments in relation to sub-licensing partnership arrangements. This requires the directors to estimate 
the  likelihood  of  the  Group,  its  partners,  and  sub-licensees  meeting  their  respective  commercial 
milestones and commitments  

•  Capitalisation of development expenditure:- the Group capitalises development costs provided the 
conditions laid out below have been met. Consequently the directors require to continually assess the 
commercial potential of each product in development and its useful life following launch 

•  Provisions  for  income  taxes:-  the  Group  is  subject  to  tax  in  the  UK  and  US  and  this  requires  the 

directors to regularly assess the applicability of its transfer pricing policy 

•  Share  based  payments:-  the  Group  requires  to  make  a  charge  to  reflect  the  value  of  share-based 
equity-settled payments in the period. At each grant of options and balance sheet date, the directors 
require to assess the value of the business and whether there has been an increase in the fair value of 
equity-settled share options, their likely vesting dates, and expected participants.

Financial risk management 

Financial risk factors 
The  group’s  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks:  market  risk  (primarily  currency  risk and  cash 
flow interest risk rate), credit risk and liquidity risk. 

Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the board of directors.  The board provides written 
principles  for  overall  risk  management,  as  well  as  written  policies  covering  specific  areas,  such  as  foreign 
exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Financial risk management (continued) 

(a)  Market risk 
(i)  Foreign exchange risk 
Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  when  future  commercial  transactions  or  recognised  assets  or  liabilities  are 
denominated  in  a  currency  that  is  not  the  entity’s  functional  currency.    The  group  operates  primarily  in  the 
USA however a significant proportion of costs are incurred in Sterling. 

Due to the size of the group, management are required to continually assess the group’s foreign exchange risk 
against the group’s functional currency, and whether to hedge against such exposure. 

At 30 June 2007, if Sterling had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the dollar with all other variables held 
constant, post-tax  profit  for  the  year would  have been $250,000  (2006: $200,000)  higher/lower respectively, 
mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on Sterling denominated transactions and the translation of 
Sterling denominated trade payables. 

(ii) Cash flow and interest rate risk 
As the group has no significant interest-bearing assets or liabilities, other than cash held on deposit at variable 
rates, the group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest 
rates. 

(b) Credit risk 
Credit risk is managed on group basis.  Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.  
In  order  to  minimise  the  group’s  exposure  to  risk,  all  cash  deposits  are  placed  with  reputable  banks  and 
financial  institutions.    The  group’s  exposure  is  reduced  due  to  contractual  terms  which  require  installation, 
training, annual licensing and support fees, to be paid annually in advance. 

(c) Liquidity risk 
Management review the liquidity position of the group to ensure that sufficient cash is available to meet the 
underlying needs of the group as they fall due for payment. 

The group’s financial liabilities to be settled on a net basis falling due within one year were $421,103 (2006: 
$119,336) and are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.  There is no difference between the undiscounted 
liabilities and the amounts shown in Note 23 as the group’s financial liabilities are all short term in nature. 

Capital risk management 
The group is cash generative and trading is funded internally.  As a result, management do not consider capital 
risk to be significant for the group. 

4  Revenue 

The  Group  revenue  is  derived  entirely  from  the  sale,  supply,  installation  and  ongoing  support  of  software 
products to hospitals within the United States of America and is deemed to have no other segments.

Share based payments 

The  Group  has  an  equity-settled  share  based  payment  scheme,  whereby  options  over  shares  in  Craneware 
Limited can be granted to employees and directors.   A charge is shown in the income statement of $2,190,911 
(2006: $286,432) as detailed in Note 8 above. 

Options over Ordinary shares and Incentive shares are granted at par value and are exercisable and vest on a 
sale of the Group as defined in the Company’s Articles of Association. The performance schedule determining 
the vesting of options over Incentive shares is based on the valuation of the Company at such an event. Options 
lapse upon leaving employment or if not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant.

Share based payments (continued) 

The  fair  value  of options granted was  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant using  the  Black  Scholes  option  pricing 
model as adjusted for dividends. The Company estimates the number of options likely to vest by reference to 
the Group’s high staff retention rate, and expenses the fair value over the relevant vesting period. Volatility has 
been estimated by reference to similar companies whose shares are traded on a recognised stock exchange.  

The assumptions for each option grant were as follows:

Share price at date of grant
Vesting period (years)
Expected volatility
Risk free rate

Payment Date 

a sum equal to 30% of Net Profit 
accruing  from  the  end  of  the  financial  year  in  which  the  Company  first  has  sufficient 
distributable reserves in order for the relevant dividend to be paid in full and the Board has

distribute shall, if the holders of 75% of the A ordinary shares and the holders of 75% of the ordinary shares 
agree in writing, be distributed amongst the holders of the ordinary and A ordinary shares (pari passu as if the 
same were one class of share) unless the holders for the time being of 75% of the A ordinary shares and the 
holders of 75% of the ordinary shares agree otherwise. 

The Incentive Shares and Category “A” Member shares shall confer upon their holders no right to receive any 
dividend (whether in cash or specie) or any other form of distribution.

option arrangement over 757 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company be considered for 
grant.  The details and terms of this option arrangement required to be determined, considered and approved by 
the Company.  No such consideration, determination or approval occurred prior to his date of resignation as a
