The deferred tax asset of £280,000 in respect of carried forward tax losses has been recognised on the basis that the
directors believe that it is more likely than not to be realised against future taxable profits of the Group. This has been
increased to recognise the losses which will be utilised in relation to the early surrender of the tenant lease. 
 
There are unprovided deferred tax losses of £320,000. 
 
The unprovided deferred tax assets are calculated at a rate of 20% (2013: 23%). The unprovided deferred tax assets
attributable to losses should be recoverable against future profits.

The fair value of the share options granted after 7 November 2002 and not vested at 1 July 2006 has been assessed in
accordance with IFRS 2. The directors do not consider that the amounts involved are material and therefore no charge has
been recognised. 
 
** These options were granted at an exercise price of 1 pence each on 27 November 2012. The options are conditional on
certain vesting criteria including an annual Group Profit before tax target for the year ended 30 June 2015. 
 
*** These options were granted at an exercise price of 1 pence each on 4 November 2013 and 11 March 2014. The options are
conditional on certain vesting criteria including an annual Group Profit before tax target for the year ended 30 June
2016. 
 
The weighted average fair value of the November 2013 and March 2014 LTIP granted during the period, determined using the
Black-Scholes valuation model, was 27.25 pence per option. The significant inputs into the model were mid-market share
price of 28.25 pence at the grant date; exercise price shown above; an expected 10 year time to expiry; an annual risk-
free interest rate of 0.5%; dividend yield of nil; volatility of share price of nil. 
 
The weighted average fair value of the November 2013 LTIP granted during the period, determined using the Black-Scholes
valuation model, was 15.375 pence per option. The significant inputs into the model were mid-market share price of 16.375
pence at the grant date; exercise price shown above; an expected 10 year time to expiry; an annual risk- free interest rate
of 0.5%; dividend yield of nil; volatility of share price of nil. 
 
No share options are currently exercisable. The Weighted Average Exercise Price of share options outstanding at 30 June
2014 was 3.6p, with a weighted average life of 17 months and at 30 June 2013 was 4.2p, with a weighted average life of 15
months. 
 
No share option charge has been recognised during the year because management are of the opinion that the performance
conditions will not be met.

21.       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
 
The Group uses various financial instruments including cash, trade receivables, trade payables, other payables, loans and
leasing that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to maintain adequate
finance for the Group's operations. The existence of these financial instruments exposes the Group to a number of financial
risks, which are described in detail below. The directors do not consider price risk to be a significant risk. The
directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks, as summarised below, and these remain unchanged from
previous years. 
 
Financial risk management and objectives 
 
The Group seeks to manage financial risk to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to
invest cash assets safely and profitably. The directors achieve this by regularly preparing and reviewing forecasts based
on the trends shown in the monthly management accounts. 
 
Interest rate risk 
 
The total loan balance at 30 June 2014 is £1,160,455 (2013: £29,167). Interest is payable at 2.55% above the three month
LIBOR rate (2013: 3.5% above the bank's base rate) (note 17). 
 
The Group finances its operations through a mixture of cash and loans and has some risk to interest rate movements which
are not deemed significant in the short term. 
 
Credit risk 
 
The Group's principal financial assets are cash and trade receivables, with the principal credit risk arising from trade
receivables. In order to manage credit risks the Group conducts third party credit reviews on all new clients, takes
deposits where this is deemed necessary and collects payment by direct debit on all new Ansaback and Ancora accounts,
limiting the exposure to a build up of a large outstanding debt. The Group also conducts third party credit reviews on
CallScripter accounts, which also have an agreed payment plan tailored to the risk of the individual client. 
 
Liquidity risk 
 
The Group aims to mitigate liquidity risk by closely monitoring cash generation and expenditure. Cash is monitored daily
and forecasts are regularly prepared to ensure that the movements are in line with the directors' strategy.

Foreign currencies 
 
During the year exchange differences of £22,403 (2013: £5,212) have arisen and at the year-end £nil (2013: £nil) was held
in foreign currency bank accounts. It is the Group's policy to hold limited amounts in foreign currency in order to reduce
exposure to currency risk. The Group does not sell or buy any currency forward or enter into any hedging contracts. 
 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction and monetary
assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the rates ruling at the year end. At present foreign
exchange is minimal and hedging and risk management is not deemed necessary.
