prevailing market rate at the time.
21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks that include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and
interest rate risk. These risks and the Group's policies for managing them have been applied consistently during the year
and are set out below.
The Group holds no financial or other non-financial instruments other than those utilised in the working operations of the
Group and that listed in this note. It's the Group's policy not to trade in derivative contracts.
Principal financial instruments
The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial instrument rate risk arises, are as follows:
-Trade receivables
-Cash and cash equivalents
-Trade and other payables
Financial instruments by category
The following table sets out the financial instruments as at the reporting date:
Group Company
30.6.17 30.6.16 30.6.17 30.6.16

Accrued liabilities and other payables 3,246 2,800 44 47
4,440 4,151 96 58
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities is equal to their carrying values. All financial assets
are categorised as loans and receivables and all financial liabilities are categorised as financial liabilities at
amortised costs.
General objectives, policies and processes
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and
whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes
that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group's risk committee. The Board receives
monthly reports from the Risk Committee through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the
appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting
the Company's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:
Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises from interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Group has in place a policy of
maximising finance income by ensuring that cash balances earn a market rate of interest offsetting where possible cash
balances, and by forecasting and financing its working capital requirements. As at the reporting date the Group was not
exposed to any movement in interest rates as it has no external borrowings and therefore is not exposed to interest rate
risk. No sensitivity analysis has been prepared.
The Group's working capital requirements are managed through regular monitoring of the overall cash position and regularly
updated cash flow forecasts to ensure there are sufficient funds available for its operations.
Liquidity risk
The Groups working capital requirements are managed through regular monitoring of the overall position and regularly
updated cash flow forecasts to ensure there are funds available for its operations. Management forecasts indicate no new
borrowing facilities will be required in the upcoming financial period.
Trade and other payables of £2,056,000 (2016: £2,283,000) are expected to mature in less than a year.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises principally from the Group's trade receivables, as there are no trade receivables within the Company,
which comprise amounts due from customers. Prior to accepting new customers a credit check is obtained. As at 30 June 2016
there were no significant debts past their due period which had not been provided for. The maturity of the Group's trade
receivables is as follows:
30.6.17 30.6.16
£'000 £'000
0-30 days 4,845 2,795
30-60 days 67 1,243
More than 60 days 1,513 1,521
6,425 5,559
The maturity of the Group's provision for impairment is as follows:
30.6.17 30.6.16
£'000 £'000
0-30 days 8 6
30-60 days 8 87
More than 60 days 486 731
502 824
The movement in the provision for the impairment is as follows:
30.06.17 30.6.16
£'000 £'000
As at 1 July 824 343
Provision for impairment 82 789
Receivable written off in the year (65) (259)
Unused amount reversed (339) (49)
As at 30 June 502 824
The Group minimises its credit risk by profiling all new customers and monitoring existing customers of the Group for
changes in their initial profile. The level of trade receivables older than the average collection period consisted of a
value of £1,581,391 (2016: £1,541,197) of which £460,837 (2016: £730,350) was provided for. The Group felt that the
remainder would be collected post year end as they were with long-standing relationships, and the risk of default is
considered to be low and write-offs due to bad debts are extremely low. The Group has no significant concentration of
credit risk, with the exposure spread over a large number of customers.
The credit risk on liquid funds is low as the counterparts are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international
credit rating bodies. The majority of the Company's cash holdings are held at NatWest Bank which has a BBB+ credit rating.
The carrying value of both financial assets and liabilities approximates to fair value.
Capital policy
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to
provide optimal returns for shareholders and to maintain an efficient capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In doing so the Group's strategy is to maintain a capital structure commensurate with a strong credit rating and to retain
appropriate levels of liquidity headroom to ensure financial stability and flexibility. To achieve this, the Group monitors
key credit metrics, risk and fixed charge cover to maintain this position. In addition the Group ensures a combination of
appropriate short term and long-term liquidity headroom.
During the year the Group had a short-term loan balance of £nil (2016: £nil) and amounts payable over one year are nil
(2016: £nil). The Group had a strong cash reserve to utilise for any short-term capital requirements that were needed by
the Group.
The Group has continued to look for a further long-term investments or acquisitions and therefore, to maintain or re-align
the capital structure, the Group may adjust when dividends are paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue
new shares or borrow from lenders.

Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Group's share price from the date it
listed to the grant date of the share option. The expected life used in the model is based on management's best estimate,
for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
