Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC PRODUCTS
The design and development of our telematics hardware
units is undertaken entirely in-house. Trakm8 launched
the 8th generation of hardware during the year and all
new models are now manufactured at Trakm8’s own
manufacturing facility based in the Midlands, UK.
With the recent release of the T10 product range,
the hardware continues to set new standards in the
telematics industry. The self-install device enables
Trakm8’s technology to obtain engine and emission data
by connecting to the vehicle CANbus, enabling vehicle
information to be accessible, such as vehicle fault codes,
CO2 emissions, fuel usage and driver behaviour.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Trakm8 Group further strengthened their Engineering
Services sector by developing customer specific
telematics solutions to integrate with client systems.
Examples include logistics software for Jewsons,
an AA branded SWIFT portal and an innovative driver
feedback display for 21st Century bus applications

Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Overall, the very strong levels of engineering
service work in the final months of the year
resulted in a net profit before exceptional
costs of £0.83m. This was better than the level
expected at the time of the acquisition and
compares favourably to last year’s result of
£0.04m.
BOARD CHANGES
During the year, we were also delighted to
welcome Keith Evans as the new Independent
Non-Executive Director. He has brought a wealth
of business experience and expertise to the
Board. At the same time, in July 2013, Dawson
Buck stepped down as Non-Executive Chairman
and a Director of the Company and the Board
thanks him for his contribution.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
The Group revenues are accounted for in four
segments:
1. Products: This is the segment where Trakm8
supplies other Telematics Service Providers with
hardware devices.
The development of the T10 family of products
is a significant step forward for the Group. It is
manufactured in our own facilities at much lower
costs than its predecessors. The range has been
expanded to include self-fit devices and simple
security vehicle tracking units.
Product sales were 94% higher with a
contribution from BOX broadening the customer
base and increasing the total sales in the
segment. The largest revenue generator in this
segment is the JCB Live Link telematics device.
INTRODUCTION
I am pleased to report that Trakm8’s strategy
of driving organic growth through investments
in engineering and sales resource, along with
judicious acquisitions, is proving successful.
The year has been one of significant growth,
both organically with new product launches,
in addition to client wins and through our
investment in earnings enhancing acquisitions.
As part of the strategy to develop the Group
organically, Trakm8 has successfully introduced
a number of new products and software
solutions that have been well received by the
market. These products are being integrated
into the BOX products and solutions channels.
The acquisition of BOX Telematics Limited
(BOX) in October 2013 was a significant
milestone in the development of the Group. Due
to the size of the target it necessitated a reverse
takeover under the AIM rules, a complex and
lengthy process. We successfully raised £2.07m
new equity from existing shareholders and new
institutional investors, who represented the
first such investors on our shareholder register.
This equity was raised at a premium to the then
prevailing share price, which was a testament to
the value seen in the combined Group.
All the costs associated with the transaction
amounting to £0.43m have been treated as
exceptional when analysing the results.
The positive cash generation shows the strength
of the Trakm8 financial model. Year-end cash
was £2.91m producing a net positive cash
balance of £0.6m, despite drawing down a
£2.5m debt facility to fund the acquisition of
BOX Telematics.
Like for like sales overall were 14% higher and
were supplemented by five months of trading
from BOX Telematics.
Trakm8 Limited has continued to enjoy a
significant improvement in sales of complete
solutions and engineering services during the
period. This has resulted in strong growth in
recurring revenues and higher margins on a like
for like basis.

Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (continued)
2. Solutions: This segment is where Trakm8
supplies customers with a fully integrated
service provision. Customers include the AA,
Eon and Jewson. These solutions are also
provided through a partner in South Africa.
The acquisition of BOX Telematics broadened
the range of customers and units reporting to
our servers. BOX’s major route to market is via
a dealer network. Trakm8 mostly sells directly
to fleets. As a result, the combined business has
approximately 60,000 units reporting to the
servers. The recurring revenues now amount
to an annualised £4.55m. This represents an
increase of 111% over the previous year-end.
During the year the Company enhanced the
engineering investments in new solutions and
launched updated versions of Swift and ecoN.
We created comparable solutions for BOX to roll
out to their client base.
We also launched a sales and applications
engineering team out of our office in Prague.
This operation has secured several customers
and we expect it to be self-funding by the end
of the next financial year, following initial start-
up costs.
The major new development for the Group were
the contracts awarded by Direct Line Group
and these were notified to the market on 13
January 2014 and on 2 May 2014. This customer
is taking a number of services and products
from Trakm8 which will provide a solid recurring
revenue stream. Trakm8 is supplying Direct Line
Group hardware based on their next generation
telematics device and the first of a new family
of products called T10. The T10 Micro is a fully
functional telematics tracking device with
CANbus communications. The self-install device
will be fitted by Direct Line Group customers to
the vehicle diagnostic socket and is probably
the smallest such unit available today. In
addition, the technology developed for this
contract will have a wide range of applications
with other customers and new markets.
We have established a wide number of new
customer opportunities with trials taking place.
We expect that these will be earnings enhancing
for the Group in 2014/15.
The Solutions segment is the core value
enhancing activity of the Group and its revenues
increased by 60% to a total of £4.85m. This now
represents 53% of Group revenues.
3. Engineering Services: In this segment Trakm8
undertakes bespoke software development for
customers. The customer specific application
engineering has been a major feature of the
product development team as the larger
customers have demanded their particular
requirements. These in turn help to improve our
core products.
The major projects this year were associated
with Direct Line Group. Significant projects
were also undertaken for St Gobain, the AA and
several others.
These engineering projects are profitable
consultancy activities in themselves, help to
integrate customers to Trakm8 solutions, and
provide on-going support and maintenance
revenues. As such this segment remains a core
competence and key business strategy.
Engineering Services increased revenues by
130% over the previous year to £0.93m (2013:
£0.41m.)
4. Manufacturing Services: This segment
is where Trakm8 undertakes design and
manufacturing of electronic assemblies for
third party customers in the BOX Telematics
facilities acquired during the year. This segment
adds value by fully utilising the manufacturing
investments and assists in securing the best
possible supply chain for the Trakm8 products.
Revenues in this segment amounted to £0.87m
representing 9% of Group sales.
The fire monitoring product contract announced
on 20 March 2013 was the highlight of the
year, although it will not benefit revenues until
2014/15.

Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (continued)
OUTLOOK
The Board is confident that our investments in
acquisitions, new products and additional sales
resources will benefit the new financial year and
beyond.
The full year impact of BOX, recent contracts
secured, along with the new products and
solutions we have announced earlier this year
will provide significant growth in revenues in the
current financial year. After the first two months
of trading our revenues are ahead of last year.
We continue to maintain a strong Statement of
Financial Position, good cash generation and
robust business model which allows the Group
to assess opportunities which augment growth
through selective acquisitions alongside our
current organic growth strategy. Any acquisition
being considered will need to meet our clearly
defined market segment objectives and financial
criteria.
Lastly, I would like to thank all the Trakm8 staff
for their exceptional commitment and hard work
in order to accomplish the significant progress
made over the past twelve months.

Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC STRATEGIC REPORT
BUSINESS REVIEW AND
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Trakm8 Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries (“the
Group”) design, manufacture and sell fleet
management solutions and associated hardware
components. These solutions are used in a
wide variety of applications from heavy duty
commercial vehicles to light CVs, cars, earth
moving equipment and a number of niche
applications such a golf carts and industrial
cleaning machines.
The solutions provide data for customers to
more effectively use their vehicles by reducing
journey times, reducing fuel consumption
and accidents, improving utilisation and
serviceability, expense tracking, and integration
into customers ERP systems.
The market for these solutions is growing as
the cost of providing these solutions reduces
and the benefit of the data is becoming more
valuable.
The competition is also growing and there
remains pricing pressure being mitigated by
the increased functionality of the solutions. The
market remains largely fragmented although
consolidation is occurring, particularly driven by
interest in the space from VCs.
The Group is playing its part of this
consolidation as demonstrated by the
acquisition of BOX Telematics Limited in 2013.
Strong organic growth and the supplemented
BOX installed base has grown the installed base
of units reporting to our servers with recurring
revenues now accounting for 37% of our total
turnover.
STRATEGY
The Group strategy is to continue to provide
M2M products and services that grow the
installed base of connections with service
revenues, thus ensuring predictable revenues
and cash flows.
We will continue to increase our focus on
utilisation of the accumulating server data to
create the algorithms that will improve the fuel
economy scoring and the driver insurance risk
calculations. Trakm8 installed vehicles cover
over a billion miles each year. This data along
with the statistical analysis now available with
latest computing techniques will drive the next
stages of improved returns on investment in the
technology.
Trakm8 will also utilise its extensive vehicle
electrical knowledge to drive vehicle service
algorithms to reduce breakdowns, improve
serviceability and reduce cost of ownership.
Trakm8 will provide hardware, software solutions
and manufacturing services on a stand-alone
basis to third parties so long as they are part of
Trakm8’s core offerings.
ORGANIC GROWTH
The Group will continue to drive organic growth
through widening the customer base, increasing
the range of solutions offered and broadening
the geographic coverage. With every size of the
vehicle park now addressed from the smallest
fleets to the largest, from passenger cars to
heavy duty trucks and industrial equipment,
Trakm8 has a sales channel and product suitable
for all.
Trakm8 will continue to invest heavily in
engineering new products and solutions to
ensure that these are market leading.
Increased international business development
activities will expand the geographic footprint.
ACQUISITIONS
The Group will continue to seek acquisitions that
will complement the organic growth strategies
we have. These will be businesses in the M2M
and Big Data space, where we can drive value
for the shareholders and enhance the range of
markets and services we address.

Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC STRATEGIC REPORT (continued)
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Group provides products and services that
are targeted at reducing the consumption of
the world’s natural resources. As a Group we
also strive to ensure that we minimise the use of
these resources ourselves.
Trakm8 has secured accreditation to ISO 14001
as part of its commitment to best practice on
Environmental matters.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties facing
the Group are set out in the Directors’ Report.
The key risk is that the Group operates in the
technological industry which has a history of
continuous technological enhancements and
unforeseen advances may lead to a lack of
competitiveness.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The key performance indicators used to assess
the performance and financial status of the
Group are as follows:-
1. Operating profit: The Group produced
an operating profit of £429,219 compared
to last year’s operating profit of £39,577.
The improvement stemmed from increased
profitability at Trakm8 and the five months
results at Box Telematics Limited.
2. Borrowings: The Group monitors its cash
and borrowings position and updates cash
flow forecasts for the following twelve months
on a daily basis. Total cash resources at the
year end were £2,910,786. During the year
total borrowings increased from £163,083
to £2,291,667 at the year end. The increased
borrowings were as a result of financing the
acquisition of Box Telematics Limited.
3. Customer services: The Group continues to
analyse its customer support to ensure a high
quality of service is maintained.
EMPLOYEE MATTERS
The Group recognises that the employees are
the key asset of the business. The Board of

place. There are company-wide communication
activities both in person and via the Group
intranet. The Company provides competitive
compensation plans and has a scheme whereby
the staff share in the success of the Group.
Trakm8 secured accreditation to ISO 18001 as
part of its commitment to best practice on the
management of Health and Safety.
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.

Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN
THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
The Directors are responsible for preparing
the Strategic Report, 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 Parent Company
financial statements in accordance with United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting
Standards and applicable law).
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO
THE MEMBERS OF TRAKM8 HOLDINGS PLC
We have audited the financial statements of
Trakm8 Holdings PLC for the year ending 31st
March 2014 which comprise the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income, the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity,
the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows, the Parent Company Balance Sheet
and the related notes. The financial reporting
framework that has been applied in the
preparation of the Group financial statements
is applicable law and International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union. The financial reporting
framework that has been applied in the
preparation of the Parent Company financial
statements is applicable law and United
Kingdom Accounting Standards (United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice).
This report is made solely to the Company’s
members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter
3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our
audit work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the Company’s members those
matters we are required to state to them in an
auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other
than the Company and the Company’s members
as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or

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
An audit involves obtaining evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements sufficient to give reasonable
assurance that the financial statements are free
from material misstatement, whether caused by
fraud or error. This includes an assessment of:
whether the accounting policies are appropriate
to the Group’s circumstances and have been
consistently applied and adequately disclosed;
the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by the Directors; and the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
In addition, we read all the financial and
non-financial information in the Strategic Report
and the Directors’ Report to identify material
inconsistencies with the audited financial
statements and to identify any information that
is apparently materially incorrect based on, or
materially inconsistent with, the knowledge
acquired by us in the course of performing the
audit. If we become aware of any apparent
material misstatements or inconsistencies we
consider the implications for our report.
OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In our opinion:
• the financial statements give a true and fair
view of the state of the Group’s and of the
Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 March 2014
and of the Group’s profit and the Group cash
flows for the year then ended;
• the Group financial statements have been
properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as
adopted by the European Union;
• the Parent Company financial statements have
been properly prepared in accordance with
United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice; and
• the financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006.

not in agreement with the accounting records
and returns; or

Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2014
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 office 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.
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.
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.
21
Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2014 (continued)
4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the
accounting policies used in 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.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are
recognised in the Group’s Statement of Financial
Position 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 the 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 Statement of Cash Flows, 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 as 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.
22
Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2014 (continued)
4. 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. The remaining amortisation period is 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 costs 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% straight-line
Furniture, Fixtures
and Equipment
Computer
Equipment
25% reducing balance
33% 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 Statement of Financial Position
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.
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.
23
Company Number 05452547 Holdings PLCHoldings PLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2014 (continued)
4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 Statement of
Financial Position 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 Statement of Financial Position
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 Statement of Financial Position
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.
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 Statement of
Financial Position 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 Statement of Financial Position 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 in
the foreseeable future.
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.
Exceptional items
Exceptional items are those items that, in the
Directors’ view, are required to be separately
disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence to
enable a full understanding of the Group’s financial
performance.

4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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

5. 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 a
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
Statement of Financial Position 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. 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 receivables
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 receivables in the future.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
(continued)
Recoverability of deferred tax asset
During the year, management have reconsidered
the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. The
projections demonstrate that the deferred tax
asset will be utilised in the foreseeable future.
Assumptions have been made on the number of
years over which the tax losses 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.
6. SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
Fair value adjustments
On the date of acquisition, management have fair
valued the assets and liabilities of Box Telematics
Limited to ensure they are consolidated at the
correct amount. Management have used judgement
in calculating the fair values using their knowledge
of the Company and its surroundings. The
assumptions made are anticipated to give a true and
fair view on the date of acquisition.
The format of segmental reporting is based on the Group’s management and internal reporting of the
segments below which carry different risks and rewards and are used to make strategic decisions. Products
is the sale of hardware through the Group’s distributors. Solutions represents the sale of the Group’s full
vehicle telematics service direct to customers. Engineering services comprises bespoke engineering,
professional services and mapping solutions.
The Board review the revenue results and gross margin by segment. Cost of sales comprise hardware costs
and have been allocated to the segments based on the number of units sold. Administration costs and
assets and liabilities are not separated out by segment.

27. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Details of the remuneration and share transactions with the Company of the Directors, who are the key
management personnel of the Group, are disclosed in the Directors’ report.
28. 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 cash reserves.
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 the 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 objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an
optimal 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 ratio.
This ratio 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 Statement of Financial Position. Total capital is
calculated as “equity” as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position 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 profits generated during the year.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2014
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.
2. PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act
2006, the profit and loss account of the Company is
not presented as part of these financial statements.
The loss after tax for the year in the Company is
£373,278 (2013: £9,829).
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.
