The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, as subsequent to the year end, the company acquired Timestrip Limited and raised sufficient funds by way of a placing to allow the Group to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. 1.2 Investments Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value. Funding supplied by the parent company to its subsidiaries was capitalised as a part of the parent company's investment as a capital contribution and reviewed annually for impairment. The fixed asset investments have been written off during the year. 1.3 Deferred taxation Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. 1.4 Consolidation The accounts do not consolidate the financial statements of its subsidiary undertakings as their accounting records were transferred to and are held by the Administrative Receivers. Subsequent to the year end the subsidiary undertakings were sold to a third party. For these reasons the directors have not consolidated the subsidiary undertakings as they believe severe long-term restrictions substantially hinder the exercise of rights of the company over the assets and management of those undertakings. 2 Amounts written off investments 2004 2003 £ £ Amounts written off fixed asset investments: - permanent diminution in value - 3,054,538 ═══════ ═══════ Included within the amount above is £Nil (2003 : £110,000), which relates to the reassigning of intellectual property rights and trade marks of Groovetech LLC. 3 Interest payable 2004 2003 £ £ On bank loans and overdrafts 158 418 Other interest - 30,648 ─────── ─────── 158 31,066 ═══════ ═══════ 4 Taxation ─────── ─────── Current tax charge - - ═══════ ═══════ Factors affecting the tax charge for the year Loss on ordinary activities before taxation (33,942) (3,221,491) ═══════ ═══════ Loss on ordinary activities before taxation 6,449 612,083 multiplied by standard rate of UK corporation tax of 19.00% (2003: 19.00%) Effects of: Other tax adjustments (6,449) (612,083) ─────── ─────── Current tax charge - - ═══════ ═══════ 5 Fixed asst investments Shares in subsidiary undertakings £ Cost At 1 January 2004 & 31 19,012,340 December 2004 ─────── Provisions for diminution in value At 1 January 2004 & 31 19,012,340 December 2004 ─────── Net book value At 31 December 2004 - ═══════ At 31 December 2003 - ═══════ Holdings of more than 20% The company holds more than 20% of the share capital of the following companies: Company Country of regis Shares held tration or incorporation Class % Subsidiary undertakings Lupine Ventures Limited England Ordinary 100 Groovetech LLC USA Membership units 100 Groovetech Limited England Ordinary 100 As set out in note 1.4, the subsidiary undertakings at the year end were in Administrative Receivership and no relevant information is available pertaining to the capital and reserves and the results of these undertakings. 6 Debtors 2004 2003 £ £ Called up share capital not paid 2,082 9,917 Prepayments and accrued income 536 - ─────── ─────── 2,618 9,917 ═══════ ═══════ 7 Creditors: amounts falling due within one year 2004 2003 £ £ Bank loans and overdrafts 120 - Trade creditors 6,259 149,166 Amounts owed to participating interests - 46,295 Taxes and social security costs - 1,796 Directors' current accounts - 1,311,526 Other creditors - 670,642 Accruals and deferred income 7,794 29,658 ─────── ─────── 14,173 2,209,083 ═══════ ═══════ 8 Share capital 2004 2003 £ £ Authorised 279,388,100 Ordinary shares of 1p each - 2,793,881 1,228,076,170 Ordinary shares of 0.2p each 279,388 - 678,170 Deferred shares of 49.8p each 337,728 - 13,358,829 Deferred shares of 24p each 3,206,119 3,206,119 ─────── ─────── 3,823,235 6,000,000 ═══════ ═══════ Allotted, called up and fully paid 35,464,800 Ordinary shares of 1p each - 354,648 3,479,769 Ordinary shares of 0.2p each 6,960 - 678,170 Deferred shares of 49.8p each 337,728 - 13,358,829 Deferred shares of 24p each 3,206,119 3,206,119 ─────── ─────── 3,550,807 3,560,767 ═══════ ═══════ The view has been taken during the year that since Groovetech LLC has ceased trading, the directors are of the opinion that the additional 1,556,190 Ordinary shares which has been deemed to be issued in respect of 28% of the Groovetech LLC investment not owned but subject to an unconditional put and call option will not be issued.
