The Directors’ Report

 

Year Ended 30 June 2004

 

The directors present their report and the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2004.

 

Principal Activities and Review of the Business

 

The principal activities of the company during the year were the development and sale of computer software systems and the provision of related consultancy.

 

Product development continued with the broadening of the product range and with developments for real-time intelligent decisioning. January 2004 saw the release of OMEGA 3.3 with features to facilitate data preparation, deployment management and business monitoring. In parallel, development has continued on real-time servers and decision-support applications and on deployment and monitoring for real-time decisioning. This advanced area of support for intelligent, real-time and batch decisioning will be the focus for the company going forward.

 

The company has licensed the distribution of OMEGA for decisioning in the health care field.

 

Market demand has grown through the year as KiQ has become better known. Sales have been made to O2 in the UK and DSB Bank, SNS Bank, Lotto and Telfort in Holland, and additional product has been sold to Fortis, Levob and T-Mobile. Notably, the company has been successful in completing large and more complex projects around the installation and integration of its products.

 

The very high quality and dedicated staff have continued to show great loyalty and perseverance in very challenging and demanding times. The company owes them its continued gratitude.

 

The result has been a profitable year, and the outlook is positive. The management expects further growth within the next financial year, both in terms of the number of deals and in the scale of our geographic operation.

 

The Directors and their Interests in the Shares of the Company

Directors’ Responsibilities

 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company at the end of the year and of the profit or loss for the year then ended.

 

In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to select suitable accounting policies, as described on page 9, and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The directors must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.


KiQ Limited

 

The Directors' Report (continued)

 

Year Ended 30 June 2004

 

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

 

Auditors

 

A resolution to re-appoint Peters Elworthy & Moore as auditors for the ensuing year will be proposed at the annual general meeting in accordance with section 385 of the Companies Act 1985.

 

Small Company Provisions

 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part VII of the Companies Act 1985.

 

Signed by order of the directors

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Shareholders of KiQ Limited

 

Year Ended 30 June 2004

 

We have audited the financial statements on pages 6 to 11 which have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective June 2002), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 9.

 

This report is made solely to the company’s shareholders, as a body, in accordance with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ 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 shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

 

Respective Responsibilities of Directors and Auditors

 

As described in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities the company’s directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.

 

Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and United Kingdom Auditing Standards.

 

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 also report to you if, in our opinion, the Directors’ Report is not consistent with the financial statements, if 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 with the company 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 United Kingdom Auditing Standards 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 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Shareholders of KiQ Limited (continued)

Opinion

 

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 30 June 2004 and of its profit for the year then ended, and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

Year Ended 30 June 2004

 

1. Accounting Policies

 

Basis of accounting

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective June 2002).

 

Turnover

 

The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts invoiced during the year, exclusive of value added tax.

 

Fixed assets

 

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

 

Computer & Equipment    -    25.0% straight line
Furniture    -    33.3% straight line

 

Operating lease agreements

 

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

 

Foreign currencies

 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

 

2. Operating Profit/(Loss)

 

Operating profit/(loss) is stated after charging/(crediting):

Auditors’ fees

   3,000     3,000  

Net profit on foreign currency translation

   (203 )   (51,620 )
    

 

 

3. Prior Year Adjustment

 

In accordance with FRS 5 Reporting the Substance of Transactions, specifically Application Note G Revenue Recognition, revenue is now recognised in line with performance on contracts and with the fulfilment of contractual obligations. Revenue on annual licences and maintenance contracts is therefore spread over the period of the contract. This has resulted in a prior year adjustment of £128,485. The effect on the current period is £177,539.

Notes to the unaudited management accounts

 

1. Accounting Policies

 

Basis of accounting

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective June 2002).

 

Turnover

 

The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts invoiced during the year, exclusive of value added tax.

 

Fixed assets

 

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

 

Computer & Equipment   -   25.0% straight line
Furniture   -   33.3% straight line

 

Operating lease agreements

 

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

 

Foreign currencies

 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

 

2. Operating Profit/(Loss)

 

Operating profit/(loss) is stated after charging/(crediting):
