Notes to the Financial Statements
1 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of Financial Statements under IFRS requires the use of certain
critical accounting assumptions, and requires management to exercise its
judgment and to make estimates in the process of applying Cerillion's
accounting policies.
Judgements
(i) Capitalisation of development costs
Development costs are capitalised only after the technical and commercial
feasibility of the asset for sale or use have been established. This is
determined by our intention to complete and/or use the intangible asset. The
future economic benefits of the asset are reviewed using detailed cash flow
projections. The key judgement is whether there will be a market for the
products once they are available for sale.
(ii) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised on the basis of implementation of the project. In
respect of long term contracts the revenue is in line with percentage
completed in terms of effort to date as a percentage of total forecast effort.
Total forecast is prepared by project managers on a monthly basis and reviewed
by the project office and senior management team on a monthly basis. The key
judgement is accurately forecasting the effort required to complete the
project.
(iii) Business combinations
The legal and accounting acquirer is Cerillion plc. Cerillion plc acquired
Cerillion Technologies Limited on 18 March 2016 for £14.6m, which was funded
by a new fund raise and bank debt. The acquisition was to facilitate an exit
for Cerillion's previous venture capital majority shareholders who were bought
out in full for cash.
Estimates
(i) Business combinations
Management uses valuation techniques in determining the fair values of various
elements of a business combination.
On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business
are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at their
provisional fair values. In measuring fair value, management uses estimates
about future cash flows and discount rates, however, actual results may vary.
See note 2.
(ii) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation rates are based on estimates of the useful
economic lives and residual values of the assets involved. The assessment of
these useful economic lives is made by projecting the economic lifecycle of
the asset. The key judgement is estimating the useful economic life of the
development costs capitalised, a review is conducted annually by project.
Depreciation and amortisation rates are changed where economic lives are
re-assessed and technically obsolete items written off where necessary. Refer
to notes 12 and 13.
2 Acquisitions
The Company's controlling interest in its directly held subsidiary, Cerillion
Technologies Limited, was acquired through a business combination as defined
in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. As such the acquisition method of accounting
for this transaction has been followed.

The legal and accounting acquirer is Cerillion plc. Cerillion plc acquired
Cerillion Technologies Limited on 18 March 2016 for £14.6m, which was funded
by a new fund raise and bank debt. The acquisition was to facilitate an exit
for Cerillion's previous venture capital majority shareholders who were bought
out in full for cash.
Consideration transferred
Cerillion plc paid £14,651,571 cash on 18 March 2016 for 100% of the share
capital and voting rights of Cerillion Technologies Limited.
IPO costs amounting to £746,055 (2015: £580,500) are not included as part of
consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and are disclosed as exceptional
items on the face of the income statement.
Identifiable net assets
Net assets excluding intangibles of £5,648,616 and separately identified
intangible net assets of £7,029,814 were acquired.
The separately identified intangible net assets were made up of the current
fair value of existing support and maintenance contracts (£4.38m) and IPR
(£2.57m). The current fair value was calculated based on an estimate of future
profits from these sources using a Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of
12.7%.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on this transaction amounted to £1,973,141, of which
£1,320,465 related to deferred tax arising on the provisional intangible
assets recognised on the acquisition. The remaining goodwill of £652,676 is
primarily related to growth expectations, expected future profitability, the
substantial skill and expertise of Cerillion Technologies' workforce and
expected cost synergies.
Goodwill has not been allocated to a particular segment and is not expected to
be deductible for tax purposes.
Cerillion Technologies Limited's contribution to the Group results
In consequence, the consolidated financial statements for Cerillion plc report
the result of operations for the period from date of acquisition being 18
March 2016 to 30 September 2016. Similarly, the consolidated balance sheet and
other financial information have been presented as though the assets and
liabilities were acquired on 18 March 2016.
Cerillion Technologies Limited group generated revenues of £8,364,774 and a
profit of £1,578,822 for the period from 18 March 2016 to 30 September 2016.
If Cerillion Technologies Limited group had been acquired on 1 October 2015,
revenue of the Group for 2015 would have been £14,809,939, and profit for the
year would have been £2,154,308.
3 Segment information
During the year ended 30 September 2016, the Group was organised into four
main business segments for revenue purposes.
Under IFRS 8 there is a requirement to show the profit or loss for each
reportable segments and the total assets and total liabilities for each
reportable segment if such amounts are regularly provided to the chief
operating decision maker.
In respect of the profit or loss for each reportable segment the expenses are
not reported by segment and cannot be allocated on a reasonable basis and, as
a result, the analysis is limited to the Group revenue.
Assets and liabilities are used or incurred across all segments and therefore
are not split between segments.

There are currently no deferred tax assets or liabilities recognised within
the parent company accounts. Taxable losses within the parent company
totalling £134,591 (2015: £nil) have been carried forward, but no deferred tax
asset has been recognised in relation to these losses due to the uncertainty
surrounding the timing of their recovery.
9 Profit/(loss) attributable to Cerillion plc
The profit/(loss) for the financial year/period of the Parent Company,
Cerillion plc was £1,019,353 (2015: loss £580,500). As permitted by section
408 of the Companies Act 2006, no separate income statement is presented in
respect of the Parent Company.
10 Dividends
(a) Dividends paid during the reporting period
The Board declared a maiden interim dividend of 1.3p (2015: nil pence) per
share totalling £383,675 (2015: £nil) in line with the Company's dividend
policy, which was paid on 23 June 2016.
(b) Dividends not recognised at the end of the reporting period
Since the year end the Directors have proposed the payment of a dividend in
respect of the full financial year of 2.6p per fully paid Ordinary share
(2015: £nil). The aggregate amount of the proposed dividend expected to be
paid out of retained earnings at 30 September 2016, but not recognised as a
liability at the year end is £767,351 (2015: £nil).
11 Earnings/(loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss)
attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number
of Ordinary Shares in issue during the year/period. The A Ordinary Shares in
existence as at 30 September 2015 have been classified as a liability and are
therefore excluded from the earnings per share calculation.
