CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report that the results for the Group have continued to progress well and in line with market 
expectations. Revenues have increased by 25% to £5,215,565 (2011: £4,186,264) and we have realised a profit 
before tax of £83,884 (2011: £323,133). Excluding the Government funding of R&D our operating profits have 
improved by £114,355 over the previous year. Our adjusted EBITDA (excluding government grants) was £354,297 
and this is a better guide to Trakm8’s underlying performance.

Trakm8 has successfully introduced a number of new products and software solutions that have been well  
received by the market. Our recurring revenues continue to grow, which provides good visibility of our earnings.

Despite the working capital requirement of the considerable growth and the pre-product launch build of inventory, 
the cash balances remain strong at £1,087,474. This robust financial position means that we can continue to invest 
to keep our products at the forefront of their markets and it gives our customers confidence that we are a well 
established business.

The prospects for the Group continue to be positive. Trakm8 has achieved progressive gross profit expansion over 
the period, supported by the increased value-added nature of the Group’s activities. The Group has also seen a 
positive impact on revenue streams from the service offering, which now accounts for a significant proportion of 
Group revenues.

The market is growing and the Trakm8 solutions are increasingly capable. The Board is therefore confident that the 
Group will continue to grow revenues and the Trakm8 Swift installed base. I am pleased to report that the new 
financial year has started ahead of the same period last year and we have a good pipeline of sales prospects.

CEO’S STATEMENT

I am pleased with the progress outlined in the Chairman’s statement. Trakm8 has enjoyed a significant 
improvement in sales of units and complete solutions, which has resulted in strong growth in revenues. 

Telematics revenues £2,226,230 (2011: £1,394,998)   

Trakm8 supplies other Telematics Service Providers with hardware solutions. In most cases this also includes our 
market leading configuration firmware for the hardware unit. These sales have been the core of Trakm8 revenue 
over the past 10 years and in excess of 150,000 have been supplied. During the year unit sales increased by 30% 
following contract wins in the UK and the Middle East.

In the UK we have launched two in vehicle display devices that feed back to the driver vehicle performance 
and driver behaviour data. Over 6,000 of these devices were supplied during the year. Trakm8 has also launched 
a derivative of the A1091 telematics unit that was acquired from Vincotech in 2010. The new T8 Mini device 
combines a compact, waterproof design with exceptionally low power consumption. The T8, which is fitted 
onboard vehicles, can access a vast amount of data through the CANbus (Controller Area Network bus). This 
has recently been put into production and almost 2,000 units have already been supplied of the two variants. 
In addition, a range of tags for driver ID and temperature measurement have also been introduced.  

Since the year end we announced in June 2012 a major contract win with Motorola Solutions for 2,300 T8 
telematics units to be used in South America. New firmware has been developed to allow data to be transmitted 
over private mobile radio networks providing a telematics solution in areas of poor or no GSM coverage.

CEO’S STATEMENT (continued)

Trakm8 swift revenues £2,776,872 (2011: £2,553,876)

Trakm8 supplies customers with a fully integrated telematics service provision via Trakm8 Swift, an internet based 
service which is flexible, low cost and easy to use. Customers include the Automobile Association (“AA”), EO.N and 
Jewsons. This solution is also provided through a partner in South Africa. In total nearly 30,000 units are now 
using Swift, a net increase of 20% in the past twelve months. We now have five customers with over 1,000 
vehicles operating Trakm8 Swift solutions. 

This has increased our base of recurring monthly revenues, which provides the improved security and predictability 
to future income. By the end of the financial year under review, the monthly recurring revenue had increased by 
30% on the previous year. This also amounted to 70% of our operational costs up from 62% at the end of the 
previous year.

During the past 12 months we have developed a number of variants of Swift. These include EcoN, which combines 
the Driver feedback device with server side analysis to improve the fuel economy of the vehicle. A security product, 
primarily for asset management, has also been launched with positive feedback.

The server side solutions have had extensive development so that management reports are easier to use and can 
provide the higher levels of data now available from the driver feedback devices, the telematics unit and the CANbus 
connectivity. It is this provision and management use of the data available that enables vehicle operators to achieve 
significant reductions in fuel use. Trakm8’s knowledge of the vehicle electronic systems continues to be market 
leading following continuous development. Trakm8 has notified in previous statements that it is committed to 
owning  the  Intellectual  Property  throughout  the  value  chain  and  the  extensions  of  the  server  side  applications 
continues this trend. The Trakm8 Swift product range is the core value enhancing segment of the Group. Hosting 
multiple applications on a single unit broadens its potential addressable markets including insurance, environmental 
services, Government and general consultancy.

CEO’S STATEMENT (continued)

Professional services revenues £212,463 (2011: £237,390)  

Trakm8 undertakes bespoke software development for customers. The customer specific application engineering 
has been a major feature of the product development team as larger customers have demanded their particular 
requirements. This has also helped improve the core products. 

These engineering projects provide profitable consultancy activities in themselves, helping to integrate the 
customer with Trakm8 solutions, and provide on-going support and maintenance revenues. Whilst this activity 
remains a small percentage of the Group revenues it is considered a key skill and value added capability.

We have recently renamed our subsidiary PJSoft to Trakm8 sro and this year they moved into new offices in Prague. 
This development team is an important element of the enhancement of our systems and the Professional Services 
revenues.

Government grants £5,039 (2011: £361,542)

The two Government funded projects, the Trusted Road Usage & Emissions Profiling Project and the Future 
Intelligent  Transport  Systems  -  Project  Freeflow  Initiative,  were  successfully  completed  early  last  year.  We  have 
been very pleased with the outcomes and much of the development work has been incorporated into our core 
products. Trakm8’s leading roles in government-sponsored projects ensures the Group is well positioned to 
capitalise on the regulatory and legislative drivers impacting the field of telematics.

It is pleasing to see that we have realised a profit before tax excluding any Government Grant income and the table 
below demonstrates how important these projects have been to the continued development of our products.

CEO’S STATEMENT (continued)

Outlook

The Group is confident that revenues will continue to improve over the next twelve months with results in line with 
market expectations. Trakm8 solutions are expected to increase market penetration both in the large fleet market 
and the SME space. The installed base for Trakm8 Swift and its’ consequent recurring revenues are expected to 
continue to increase.

Hardware only solutions are expected to grow on the back of new customers and new products. To protect the 
technical superiority of the products and services and to ensure the lowest possible cost base, Trakm8 will continue 
to expand the engineering and professional services teams.

The cost of fuel continues to rise and the capability of Trakm8 telematics based fleet management solutions to 
reduce fuel usage continues to become more sophisticated and beneficial to customers. We expect to benefit from 
these trends.

Cost reduction initiatives and innovative product launches undertaken during the downturn, have left us well 
positioned for future growth. We have a strong balance sheet with substantial cash reserves and minimal debt. The 
market for vehicle telematics in the UK is still very fragmented and should opportunities emerge for us to grow by 
making acquisitions then we will seriously consider them.  

Finally, I would like to thank all the Trakm8 staff for their tremendous hard work over the past twelve months.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

SUPPLIERS PAYMENT POLICY
It is the Group’s policy to establish payment terms with suppliers and to adhere to those terms, provided that the 
goods and services are in accordance with the agreed terms and conditions. Trade payables for the parent company 
at the year end represented 45 days of purchases (2011:  49 days).

EMPLOYMENT POLICY

During the year, the Group has consulted with employees in matters likely to affect their interests and is committed 
to involving them in the performance and development of the Group. 

DISABLED EMPLOYEES
The Group gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the requirements 
of the job can be adequately fulfilled by a disabled person.

Should existing employees become disabled, it is the Group’s policy wherever practicable to provide continuing 
employment under normal terms and conditions and to provide training, career development and promotion to 
such employees as appropriate.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The following are identified as the principle risks and uncertainties facing the Group:-

Technology risk - The Group invests in research and development to enable the delivery of new and enhanced 
products and services.

Liquidity risk - The Group operates a long-term business, and its policy is to finance it primarily with equity and short 
to medium-term borrowings. Short-term flexibility is achieved by cash balances and overdraft facilities.

Credit risk - The Group aims to minimise its exposure to credit risk through a mixture of credit insurance, credit limits 
and credit checks on new customers.

Foreign currency risk - Historically the Group has not used hedging instruments to minimise currency risk as the 
exposure is limited. If foreign currency exposure increases, the use of foreign currency hedging instruments will be 
reviewed as necessary. 

EVENTS SINCE THE REPORTING DATE
On 30 April 2012 five of the Directors exercised options totalling 550,000 ordinary shares of 1p each at a price of 
6 pence per share under the Company’s Executive Management Incentive Scheme. The new shares were admitted 
to trading on AIM on 4 May 2012.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE 
PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with 
applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and Company financial statements for each financial year. 
The Directors are required by the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange to prepare group financial statements in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)  as adopted by the European Union (“EU”) and 
have elected under company law to prepare the Company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom 
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

The Group financial statements are required by law and IFRS adopted by the EU to present fairly the financial 
position and performance of the Group; the Companies Act 2006 provides in relation to such financial statements 
that references in the relevant part of that Act to financial statements giving a true and fair view are references to 
their achieving a fair presentation.

Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give 
a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company and of the profit or loss of the Group for 
that period. 

In preparing each of the Group and Company financial statements, the Directors are required to:

a.       select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

b.       make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

c.       for the Group financial statements, state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 
          adopted by the EU and for the Company financial statements state whether applicable UK accounting 
          standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Group 
          and Company financial statements; and

d.       prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that 
          the Group and the Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the 
Group’s and the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of 
the Group and the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies 
Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and the Company and hence for taking 
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included 
on the Trakm8 Holdings PLC website.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ 
from legislation in other jurisdictions.

members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

As more fully explained in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 14, the Directors are 
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. 
Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law 
and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing 
Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors.

SCOPE OF THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

•       the Parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2012

1.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Trakm8 Holdings PLC (“Company”) is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom 
(registration number 05452547). The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered address 
is Lydden House, Wincombe Business Park, Shaftesbury, Dorset, SP7 9QJ. The Company’s Ordinary Shares are 
traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

The Group’s principal activity is the manufacture, marketing and distribution of vehicle telematics equipment 
and services. The Company’s principal activity is to act as a holding company for its subsidiaries.

2.

AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS

The Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) interpretations 
as endorsed by the European Union, and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to 
companies reporting under IFRS. 

3.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accounting policies set out in note 4 have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these 
consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements are presented in sterling as that is considered to be the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the Group operates. This decision was based on the Group’s workforce 
being based in the UK and that sterling is the currency in which management reporting and decision making 
is based.

4.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent 
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions which are 
based on management’s best judgement at the date of the financial statements, deviate from the actual 
circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the year in which 
the circumstances change. Where necessary, the comparatives have been reclassified or extended from the 
previously reported results to take into account presentational changes.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities 
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 March each year. Control is achieved where the 
Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain 
benefits from its activities.

The trading results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated 
Statement of Comprehensive Income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of  
disposal, as appropriate.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenditure are eliminated on consolidation.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. 
The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and 
liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and 
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition 
date irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of cost of acquisition over the fair values of 
the Group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of 
acquisition below the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired (i.e. discount on acquisition) is recognised 
directly in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting 
policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.  In accordance with the  
transitional provisions, IFRS 2 has been applied to all grants of equity instruments after 7 November 2002  
that were unvested as of 1 April 2006.

The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. Equity-settled share-based  
payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of 
equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based 
on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

The fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in 
the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effect of non-transferability, 
exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. No expense is recognised for awards that do not 
ultimately vest.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s balance sheet when the Group 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at their amortised cost 
using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is made 
where there is objective evidence, (including customers with financial difficulties or in default on payments), 
that amounts will not be recovered in accordance with original terms of the agreement. A provision for 
impairment is established when the carrying value of the receivable exceeds the present value of the future 
cash flow discounted using the original effective interest rate. The carrying value of the receivable is reduced 
through the use of an allowance account and any impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid 
investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk 
of change in value. For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents includes bank 
overdrafts. 

Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual 
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the 
assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Bank borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. 
Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption, are accounted for on an accruals 
basis and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the 
period in which they arise.

Trade payables
Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method.

GOODWILL 
Goodwill arising on consolidation is recorded as an intangible asset and is the surplus of the cost of 
acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed 
annually for impairment. Any impairment identified as a result of the review is charged in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income. Negative goodwill is written off in the year in which it arises.

On disposal of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is 
included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

INTANGIBLE ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL

An intangible asset, which is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance, is recognised 
to the extent that it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow 
to the Group and that its cost can be measured reliably. Such intangible assets are carried at cost less 
amortisation. Amortisation is charged to ‘Administrative expenses’ in the Statement of Comprehensive 
Income on a straight line basis over the intangible assets’ useful economic life (1-10 years).

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.  

Development expenditure is capitalised as an intangible asset only if the following conditions are met:

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

an asset is created that can be identified;
it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefit; 
the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably;
it meets the Group’s criteria for technical and commercial feasibility; and
sufficient resources are available to meet the development to either sell or use as an asset.

Development expenditure thus capitalised is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Where the 
criteria are not met, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the ‘Administrative expenses’ 
line of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation or 
impairment losses. With the exception of freehold buildings held at 31 March 2006 (the date of transition to 
IFRS), cost represents purchase price together with any incidental costs to acquisition. As permitted by IFRS 
1, the cost of freehold buildings at 31 March 2006 represents deemed cost, being the market value of the 
property for existing use at that date.

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, at rates calculated 
to write each asset down to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life, as follows:

                          Buildings                                                           2%  
                          Furniture, fixtures and equipment             25% 
                          33% 
                          Computer equipment 

       straight line
       reducing balance
       straight line

Assets held under finance leases or hire purchase arrangements are depreciated over their expected useful 
lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, over the term of the relevant agreement.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted if 
appropriate. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general cost is determined on a first 
in first out basis and includes all direct expenditure and production overheads based on a normal level of 
activity. Net realisable value is the price at which the stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after 
allowing for the costs of realisation and where appropriate for the costs of conversion from its existing state 
to a finished condition. Provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks.

LEASES

Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
of the asset have been transferred to the Group, are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over 
the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives. The asset is recorded at the lower of its fair value and the 
present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. The capital elements of future 
obligations under finance leases are included in liabilities in the balance sheet and analysed between current 
and non-current amounts. The interest elements of future obligations under finance leases are charged to 
the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the periods of the leases and represent a constant proportion 
of the balance of capital repayments outstanding in accordance with the effective interest rate method.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating 
leases. The cost of operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) is charged to the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the periods of the leases.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the end of 
the financial year. Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling 
at the transaction date. All of the resulting exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income as they arise.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s 
foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense 
items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are classified 
as equity and transferred to the Group’s reserves. Such translation differences are recognised as income or 
expense in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

TAXATION

The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as 
reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income because it excludes items of income or expense that 
are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. 
The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated by using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of 
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of 
taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are 
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible 
temporary differences can be utilised. 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised 
or the liability is settled based upon tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue represents the total of amounts receivable for goods and services provided excluding value added 
tax. Revenue is recognised on the delivery of the goods to the customer. Where a service is provided covering 
a future period the applicable revenue is shown as Deferred Income under Current Liabilities.

WARRANTY CLAIMS

Provision is made for liabilities arising in respect of expected warranty claims.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants towards research and development projects are recognised as income over the periods 
necessary to match them with the related costs and are included within Other Income.

SEGMENTAL REPORTING

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief 
operating decision-maker.  The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources 
and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.

EQUITY 

Equity comprises the following: 

Share capital represents the nominal value of equity shares.
Share premium represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received 

    - 
    - 
              for equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue.
    -         Merger reserve represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration  received 
              for equity shares issued on reverse acquisition of subsidiaries, net of expenses of the share issue 
              prior to the date of transition to IFRS.
    -         Translation reserve represents cumulative foreign exchange gains and losses on retranslation of 
              overseas operations.
    -         Retained earnings represents retained losses.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY 

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING THE GROUP’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, management has 
made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial statements (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below).

Valuation of intellectual property

In assessing the fair value of the intellectual property, management have considered the underlying value of 
the income streams. Attention has been paid to the potential introduction of new products and services and 
the return anticipated from these and existing product sales. The Directors believe that the fair value of the 
intellectual property is both appropriate and a realistic assessment of its long term value to the Group.

KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance 
sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Recoverability of internally-generated intangible asset

During  the  year,  management  reconsidered  the  recoverability  of  its  internally  generated  intangible  asset 
which is included in the balance sheet at £177,885. The costs relate to the development of the Group’s 
portfolio of hardware and software products and management continue to believe that the anticipated 
revenues will enable the carrying amount to be recovered in full. Assumptions have been made on the 
number of years over which the costs will be recovered based on management’s best expectations and these 
could turn out to be longer or shorter although any subsequent adjustment is not expected to be material.

Recoverability of trade debtors

The withdrawal or reduction of credit facilities from Banks and leasing companies is affecting a wide range 
of businesses. Management are particularly conscious of the financial weakness of some companies and is 
closely monitoring its outstanding debtor book in order to minimise the risk associated with future bad debts. 
Weekly cash receipts are analysed and future supplies are stopped if accounts remain overdue. An increasing 
number of customers taking the Group’s services pay by direct debit and this is reducing the Group’s 
exposure to the non-recoverability of trade debtors in the future.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

The format of segmental reporti ng is based on the Group’s management and internal reporti ng of the 
segments below which carry diff erent risks and rewards and are used to make strategic decisions. Telemati cs 
is the sale of hardware through the Group’s distributors. Trakm8 SWIFT represents the sale of the Group’s full 
vehicle telemati cs service direct to customers. Development and other services comprises bespoke 
professional services and mapping soluti ons.

The Board review the revenue results by segment and the gross margin. Cost of sales comprise hardware 
costs and have been allocated to the segments based on the number of units sold. Administrati on costs and 
assets and liabiliti es are not separated out by segment.

26.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest 
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Where appropriate, the Group seeks to mitigate potential adverse 
effects on its financial performance.

Liquidity risk
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity and flexibility of funding through the use 
of borrowings and financial assets with a range of maturities. Borrowing facilities are monitored against the 
Group’s forecast requirements and it is the Group’s policy to mitigate the risk by maintaining undrawn 
overdraft facilities and cash reserves. The bank overdraft facility is £250,000 and as at 31 March 2012 this 
facility was not being utilised.

Credit risk
The Group’s principal financial assets are bank balances, cash and trade and other receivables. The Group’s 
credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables and the Group attaches considerable importance to 
the collection and management of trade receivables. The Group minimises its credit risk through the 
application of appropriate credit limits to customers based on an assessment of net worth and trading history 
with the Group. Standard credit terms are net 30 days from date of invoice. Overdue trade receivables are 
managed through a phased escalation culminating in legal action.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings 
assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Significant accounting policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the 
basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expense are recognised, in respect of each class of 
financial asset, liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 4 to the financial statements.

Capital risk management

The Group’s objecti ves when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to conti nue as a going 
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefi ts for other stakeholders and to maintain an 
opti mal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing rati o. This rati o 
is calculated as debt divided by total capital. Debt is calculated as total borrowings including “current and 
non-current borrowings” as shown in the consolidated balance sheet. Total capital is calculated as “equity” 
as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus debt.

The Group’s strategy has been to reduce gearing and to increase cash and cash equivalents. This has been 
successfully achieved through the profi ts generated during the year.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2012

1.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the 
applicable accounting standards.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The company has applied the requirements of FRS 20 Share-based Payments. In accordance with the 
transitional provisions, FRS 20 has been applied to all grants of equity instruments after 7 November 2002 
that were unvested as of 1 April 2006.

The Company issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. Equity-settled share-based 
payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of 
equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on 
the Company’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

The fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the 
model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effect of non-transferability, 
exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. No expense is recognised for awards that do not 
ultimately vest.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual 
arrangements entered into. Instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net 
of direct issue costs.

INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less impairment against the cost of investments. The carrying 
values of investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances 
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the end of 
the financial year. Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling 
at the transaction date. All of the resulting exchange differences are recognised in the profit and loss account 
as they arise.

DEFERRED TAXATION
Provision is made for deferred taxation in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but 
not reversed by the balance sheet date. Timing differences represent differences between gains and losses 
recognised  for  tax  purposes  in  periods  different  from  those  in  which  they  are  recognised  in  the  financial 
statements. No deferred tax is recognised on permanent differences between the Company’s taxable gains 
and losses and its results as stated in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included 
without discounting.
