Chairman's Statement
2016 proved to be a challenging year for SpaceandPeople in a
number of respects. Your Board has endeavoured to meet these
challenges, and more importantly has taken action to ensure that
the Group has a more focused and sustainable business model for the
future.
Overall, the Group made a loss before taxation, attributable to
the shareholders of the business of just over GBP0.6 million for
the year ended 31 December 2016; the underlying trading position
was break even with a number of non-recurring costs contributing to
the loss.
We experienced challenges in the retail environment in both the
UK and Germany, with the RMU business trading at a significantly
lower level than expected. Promotional business also suffered in
Germany with the loss of long term ECE income. Our response in the
UK has been to implement both overhead cost reductions and
efficiencies which should allow us to trade profitably on a
sustainable but lower revenue base. In Germany, the RMU contract
with ECE has been restructured, to ensure that revenue sharing and
costs are both realistic for the lower business base for 2017.
We also took the decision in June 2016 to close S&P+, due to
a poorer level of performance than forecast from this joint
venture, and to ensure that there would be no further cash outflows
from this business. A major part of the discontinued costs of
GBP0.5 million were non-cash in nature. A similar decision was
taken regarding the French pilot venture where we were offered
insufficient opportunity to cover any further roll-out costs.
These decisions will allow the executive team to focus on the
core UK business where there are promising signs of early growth in
2017. The MPK roll-out programme has continued and profits from
this in the UK are increasing and growing. The Network Rail
contract has offered us further opportunities to grow our revenue
base and venue space, within the framework of a secure long term
contract. Earlier this year, we announced a contract win with
Primesight, which will deliver airport commercialisation space and
complements the rail venues we operate from. We have also gained a
new contract from British Land which includes space in retail parks
as well as shopping centres, and our range of products including
MPKs and food units continues to grow in popularity. We are in
ongoing negotiations in respect of a number of good quality
venues.
Overall, with a clearer focus, a better integrated venues and
sales teams, a lower cost base and good quality business
opportunities, we expect to be able to return the Group to a
sustainable level of profitability in 2017, and trading for the
first two months of the year has been ahead of management
expectations.
We look forward to the future with greater confidence.

Strategic Report
Principal Activities
The principal activity of the Group is the marketing and selling
of promotional and retail licensing space on behalf of shopping
centres and other venues throughout the UK and Germany and also in
India.
Review of Business and Future Developments
The results for the period and the financial position of the
Group are shown in the financial statements.
The review of the business and a summary of future developments
are included in the Chairman's Statement, the Chief Executive
Officer's Review and the Operating and Financial Review.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks identified in the business are:
Loss of client - Each year a number of the Group's contracts
with clients come to an end. At this point, some are renewed, some
are not renewed and others are renegotiated. When the amount of
business that we transact with an established client reduces, it
can take time to replace this income with business from new
clients. The Group is not overly reliant on any single client and
the loss of a significant client, although unwelcome, would not put
the viability of the business at risk.
Loss of key personnel - The unexpected loss of a member of our
senior management team could have a negative effect on the business
in the short term, however, we have a management team of six
members who are encouraged and required to engage with and assist
their colleagues in other areas of the business to ensure that
understanding and exchange of ideas is a core element of their
roles. This ensures that the business is not at risk while we seek
to replace the member or conduct a reorganisation of the team.
System failure - Whilst no guarantees can be given that all
possible eventualities are covered, the Group has comprehensive and
strict policies and contingency plans concerning power outages,
telecommunications failure, virus protection, hardware and software
failure, frequent and full offsite backup of all data and disaster
recovery. Contracts and service level agreements are in place with
reputable suppliers to ensure that any disruption and risk to the
business is kept to an absolute minimum. The adequacy and
appropriateness of these policies and plans are reviewed on a
regular basis. A significant hardware upgrade has been completed in
early 2017 and the Group is currently implementing a new CRM system
that should be fully operational during 2017.
Legal claims - The Group constantly reviews its exposure to
possible legal claims and takes appropriate advice and action to
protect both itself and its clients where any avoidable risk is
identified, for example, by amending terms and conditions, service
agreements, licences and risk assessments.

Chief Executive Officer's Review
In 2016 SpaceandPeople refocussed its business on its core
offering to property clients, removing unprofitable ventures and
halting pilot projects overseas. A renewed focus on the UK,
significant cost cutting and restructuring in our retail divisions
and new proprietary software designed to speed up management
information, sales processing and forecasting is now in place and I
am pleased to report that 2017 has started strongly.
UK
Retail
The retail team faced the biggest challenges in 2016 and poor
sales traction during this period led to a reorganisation of this
department. The dedicated, client-facing team reduced from six to
two members and is now supported by the new automated sales and
management system. We do not anticipate for these significant
changes to affect 2017 sales as the new systems provide a much more
efficient process. The retail team have had a good start to 2017
and have already contracted over 50% of their 2017 budget.
Promotions
In 2016 we saw the Network Rail contract gain traction with the
Brand Experience department, in particular, seeing significant
revenue growth. The post year end addition of Primesight's MAG
airport portfolio will, in our opinion, boost the team's ability to
control the significant proportion of UK experiential
campaigns.
MPKs
The UK MPK programme grew from 49 to 75 units during 2016 with
revenue up 139% to GBP1.6 million. 2017 has started strongly and we
anticipate having up to 100 kiosks in operation by the end of the
year. The MPK and its delivery of promotional sales in a more
professional manner combined with our ability to purchase,
maintain, and move units is an important facet of our service
delivery.
New Venues
The UK venues team delivered new venues in the form of Bromley
Glades, Kirkgate Bradford and the Land Securities Leisure
portfolio.
Post year end, we have announced a three-year contract with
Primesight to manage all experiential activity within the
Manchester Airport Group (MAG) portfolio of Manchester, Gatwick,
Stanstead and three other airports. This contract combined with the
Network Rail portfolio which added London Bridge, and Paddington in
2016 gives us the largest network of UK transit hubs in addition to
the largest retail property estate and has potential for
significant development.
Germany
Promotions
German promotional revenue was significantly lower at GBP0.9
million (2015: GBP2.4 million). This was due to the rundown of the
ECE long term contracts, the majority of which ended in 2015 and
were not renewed. We renewed our contract with MEC for a further
year and this continues to perform strongly. Unlike in the UK, the
team in Germany has not been able to establish the MPK programme
effectively. This is due to a lack of suitable central locations
due to poor centre layouts. These units will be redeployed in the
UK.
Retail
The German retail business encountered a difficult year in 2016
with lower occupancy and a lower number of units in operation. This
resulted in revenue falling from GBP2.6 million in 2015 to GBP2.2
million. However, with overhead reductions, the utilisation of the
UK software platform and reduced rental costs of circa 50% for
2017, we anticipate a return to profitability in 2017.
France
The one year pilot programme with Immochan ended in October
2016. We were encouraged that this had proven the efficacy of the
MPK system in the French marketplace, however, the management
priorities of our French partner shifted and we did not feel the
horizon for growth and partnership were strong enough to invest
further. The units will be deployed back into the UK and the costs
of GBP0.1 million incurred in running this pilot project will not
be repeated in 2017.
S&P+ Ltd
As I noted in the 2016 Interim Results, during 2016 it was
decided to close S&P+. Despite its early promise during the
first two years of operation, in 2016 it encountered a significant
reduction in its revenue generation and future sales potential.
This, along with the resulting drag on the profitability of the
core business was unsustainable and was also a significant
distraction for senior management. The discontinuation of this
business resulted in losses of GBP0.5 million in 2016 that will not
be repeated going forward.
Cost Reductions
As we announced on 9 January 2017, during 2016 we took major
steps to reduce the running costs of the Group and to ensure that
the cost base was appropriate for the reduced size of the business.
These cost reductions removed an annualised cost of GBP0.6 million
through reduced payroll costs in the retail divisions and a
reduction in administration positions, and further savings of
GBP0.1 million in IT, travel and logistics. Combined with the
GBP0.7 million non-recurring costs of closing S&P+ and the
pilot programme in France I feel the company has the right focus
and cost base to return to profitability during 2017.
Outlook for 2017
The reinforcement of our focus on the core divisions has
re-energised the business. Along with the removal of costs and the
implementation of new upgraded software systems this has eliminated
significant sales inefficiencies and transformed management
information.
The introduction of important and iconic new venues means we are
in a strong and growing position in our market, and there is still
considerable scope to grow further. Our UK venues team has a very
healthy pipeline of potential new venues they are engaging with and
we are hopeful that we will continue to add to the size, diversity
and quality of our portfolio.
Matthew Bending
Chief Executive Officer

Operating and Financial Review
During 2016, the main aims for the Group were to continue the
process of concentrating on the core business units, develop the
relationships with the significant new clients, continue the
roll-out of the Mobile Promotion Kiosk ("MPK") service and continue
the rationalisation of administrative expenses.
Progress was made on a number of these fronts with UK
promotional revenue growing by 4% and UK retail revenue growing by
3% largely as a result of the Network Rail contract and further MPK
roll-out respectively. However, German promotional revenue fell by
62% compared with the previous year due to a number of long-term
deals finishing and not being replaced and a reduced volume of
business being conducted with ECE. German retail revenue was 15%
lower than the previous year as there were fewer RMUs in operation.
Overall, net revenue across the Group was 15% lower than the
previous year at GBP9.66 million.
By the end of 2016, we had 81 MPKs installed in venues
throughout the UK and Germany (2015: 56 MPKs) with a further 5
kiosks in France as part of the Immochan pilot project.
The restructuring of overheads continued throughout 2016 with
the streamlining of management, headcount reductions in areas of
the business that had a structural decline in their revenue, new
efficient IT systems and a reduction in travel and logistics
costs.
Revenue
During 2016, gross revenue generated on behalf of our clients
was GBP22.9 million, which was GBP1.1 million (5%) lower than like
for like gross revenue in the previous year. This was due mainly to
reductions in German promotional revenue where long-term deals were
not renewed. Although gross revenue fell by 5%, net revenue fell by
15% to GBP9.7 million. Gross German promotional income fell by 35%
at a net level this was a 62% reduction.
During 2016, UK promotions continued to perform well with Brand
Experience promotions increasing by 50% to GBP1.3million. Regional
/ Local revenue fell GBP0.3 million (29%) although an element of
this was due to revenue previously recorded as outbound sales being
recorded as MPK revenue. UK retail sales were 4% higher than in the
previous year. This improvement was due to an increase in outdoor
and food retailing business compared with the previous year.
UK RMU and MPK revenue in 2016 were GBP3.2 million which was
GBP0.1million (3%) higher than in 2015. Although there were fewer
RMUs in operation during 2016 than in 2015 with an average of 110
compared with 133, the increase in revenue from MPKs where the
number of units in operation increased from 49 to 75 more than
compensated for this.
Administrative Expenses
Like for like administrative expenses of the Group fell by
GBP1.1 million (16%) to GBP5.6 million. This reduction was
primarily as a result of the restructuring undertaken during 2015
along with additional savings identified during 2015.
The average number of people employed in the business declined
by 14 to 118 in 2016 from 132 in 2015 as a result of the reduction
in commercial and telesales staff.
Profit
Operating profit before non-recurring costs fell to
GBP0.1million (2015: GBP1.1million). As there were non-recurring
costs of GBP0.3million, the loss before taxation from continuing
operations was GBP0.2million (2015: profit of GBP1.0million).
Basic Earnings per Share ("EPS") before non-recurring costs fell
by 93% to 0.3p (2015: 4.26p). Fully diluted EPS before
non-recurring costs fell by 92% to 0.3p (2015: 3.89p). Basic EPS is
calculated as profit after tax attributable to the owners of the
Company divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue
during the year which was 19,519,563 (2014: 19,519,563). Fully
diluted EPS also takes into account the number of shares that would
be issued on the exercise of outstanding share options. The
weighted average number of shares used to calculate the diluted EPS
was 21,168,724 (2015: 21,385,604).
Cash Flow
The Group generated GBP0.4 million of net cash flow from
operating activities during the year (2015: GBP0.2 million). This
was achieved by reducing the amount owed by debtors by GBP0.9
million during the year. During the year GBP0.3 million was spent
on fixed assets, the majority of which was again spent on new MPKs,
and a dividend of GBP0.4 million was also paid during the year. An
additional GBP0.2 million was drawn down on the banking facility to
part fund the capital expenditure.
As a consequence of these 2016 results, the Group is in
technical breach of its cumulative net asset growth covenants in
relation to its banking facilities. Lloyds has informed the Group
that, whilst reserving its rights, it does not intend to exercise
its rights in relation to these covenant breaches although no
further drawdown of the facilities is permitted until the covenant
breaches have been resolved. This is expected to happen when the
covenants are tested again at 31 July 2017. This does not have an
impact upon the Group's ability to conduct its business in a normal
fashion as the current level of drawdown provides a significant
level of headroom.
Dividends
The Company has had a consistent record of paying a dividend
each year, however, as a result of the financial performance in
2016 the Board is not proposing a dividend during 2017. It is
anticipated that dividends will resume in 2018.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General information
SpaceandPeople plc is a public limited company incorporated and
domiciled in Scotland (registered number SC212277) which is listed
on AIM (dealing code SAL).
2. Basis of preparation
The Group's financial statements for the period ended 31
December 2016 and for the comparative period ended 31 December 2015
have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical
cost convention in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU)
and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee
(IFRIC) interpretations, and with those parts of the Companies Act
2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial
statements, a reasonable expectation that SpaceandPeople has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Management anticipates that the standards and interpretations in
issue, but not yet effective will be adopted in the financial
statements when they become effective and foresee currently no
material impact by the adoptions on the financial statements of the
Group in the period of initial application. However, this will be
assessed further upon implementation.
3. Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial
statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company
(its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the
power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity
so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the
period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the
effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Total comprehensive
income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company
and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the
non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements
of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with
those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are
eliminated in full on consolidation.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at
cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to
each of the Group's cash-generating units (or groups of
cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the
synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is
tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is
indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount
of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the
unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the
unit. Any impairment loss of goodwill is recognised directly in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss
recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the
attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of
the profit or loss on disposal.
The Group's policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of an
associate is described below.
Investments in subsidiaries
The parent Company's investments in subsidiary undertakings are
included in the Company statement of financial position at cost,
less provision for any impairment in value.
Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received
or receivable. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, rebates and
discounts and after eliminating intergroup sales. Revenue is
recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it
is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group
and when any specific delivery criteria have been met.
Commission
Revenue from commission receivable while acting as agent is
recognised when the following conditions are satisfied;
- Contract is agreed with promoter / merchant
- Venue acceptance of contract
- Invoice issued and no further input anticipated
Acting as principal
Revenue from agreements where we act as principal i.e. renting
space from venues and reselling to promoters and operators, is
recognised as gross revenue receivable by us, with the
corresponding amount payable to the venue owner being recognised in
administrative expenses.
Leasing Income
Revenue from leasing activities is recognised on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease.
Licence Fees
Licence fee revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in
accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.
Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is
probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is
accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding
and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate
that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial asset to the asset's net carrying
amount on initial recognition.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of
the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as
operating leases.
Property, plant & equipment
Depreciation is provided at the annual rates below in order to
write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant & equipment - 12.5% of cost
Fixtures & fittings - 25% of cost
Computer equipment - 25% of cost
Computer software - 33% of cost
Property, plant & equipment is stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation to date.
Intangible assets
Website development costs
The Group capitalises all costs directly attributable to further
developing its websites, while costs which relate to on-going
maintenance are expensed as they arise. The capitalised costs are
depreciated over three years.
Patents and trademarks
The costs of obtaining patents and trademarks are capitalised
and written off over the economic life of the asset acquired.
Impairment of non-current assets
The need for any non-current asset impairment is assessed by
comparison of the carrying value of the asset against the higher of
realisable value and the value in use or, in the case of intangible
assets, the anticipated future cash flows arising from the
asset.
Leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged against profit
as incurred. The Group has no finance leases.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into
operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability.
The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of
rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the
relevant lease.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and
deferred tax. Tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit
for the period. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated
using rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the
balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in
computation of taxable profits, and is accounted for using the
liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all
temporary timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be
available against which deductible temporary differences can be
utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from the initial recognition, other
than in a business combination, of other assets and liabilities in
a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the
accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each
balance sheet date and reduced to the extent it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow
all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is
realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted at the
balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the
income statement, except when it relates to items charged or
credited in other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred
tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange
Items included in the Group's financial statements are measured
using Pounds Sterling, which is the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Group operates, and is also the
Group's presentational currency.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into Sterling at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates at that date.
These translation differences are dealt with in the profit and loss
account.
The income and expenditure of overseas operations are translated
at the average rates of exchange during the period. Monetary items
on the balance sheet are translated into Sterling at the rate of
exchange ruling on the balance sheet date and fixed assets at
historical rates. Exchange difference arising are treated as a
movement in reserves.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Group's
balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are carried at original invoice
value less an allowance for any uncollectable amounts. An allowance
for bad debts is made when there is objective evidence that the
Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written
off in the income statement when identified.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at
cost and comprise cash in hand, cash at bank and deposits with
banks.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised costs and
represent liabilities for goods or services provided to the Group
prior to the period end that are unpaid and arise when the Group
becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of these goods
and services.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the
proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Share based payments
The Group operates a number of equity settled share based
payment schemes under which share options are issued to certain
employees. The fair value determined at the grant date of the
equity settled share based payment, where material, is expensed on
a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For schemes with
only market based performance conditions, those conditions are
taken into account in arriving at the fair value at grant date.
Pensions
The Group pays contributions to the personal pension schemes of
certain employees. Contributions are charged to the income
statement in the period in which they fall due.
Critical accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenditure during the period. Although these estimates are based
on management's best knowledge of current events and actions,
actual results may differ from those estimates. IFRS also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the
Group's accounting policies.
The areas where significant judgements and estimates have been
made in the preparation of these financial statements are the
useful lives and impairment of non-current and intangible assets,
impairment of the value of investment in associates and taxation.
Explanations of the methodology and the resultant assumptions are
detailed in the relevant accounting policies above and the
respective notes to the financial statements.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are amortised over the duration of the loan and
recognised throughout the term of the loan.
4. Segmental reporting
The Group maintains its head office in Glasgow and a subsidiary
office in Hamburg, Germany. These are reported separately. In
addition, the retail business, now trading as POP retail, has an
office in London and a subsidiary in Germany. The Group has
determined that these are the principal operating segments as the
performance of these segments is monitored separately and reviewed
by the Board.
The following tables present revenues, results and asset and
liability information regarding the Group's two core business
segments - Promotional Sales and Retail, split by geographic area,
after licence fees and management charges made between Group
companies, the Other segment incorporates SpaceandPeople India. The
comparative figures have been updated to reflect the closure of
S&P+ and have now been included in Note 10 Discontinued
operations.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated at
acquisition to the cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected
to benefit from that business combination. The Directors consider
that the businesses of the UK Retail sub group and SpaceandPeople
India Pvt Limited are identifiable CGUs and the carrying amount of
Goodwill is allocated against these CGUs. No amortisation of the
carrying value has been occurred at the financial statement review
date. Goodwill for the UK Retail sub group remains unchanged at
GBP7,981,000 and goodwill for SpaceandPeople India Pvt Limited
remains unchanged at GBP244,000.
The recoverable amounts of the cash generating units are
determined on value in use calculations which use cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board
covering a five-year period followed by a terminal factor at a
discount rate of 3% per annum. Cash flow projections during the
budget period are based on an average growth in EBITDA which the
Directors consider to be conservative given the plans for the
businesses and the potential increased returns. As a result of the
sensitivity analysis carried out, the Directors believe that any
reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which the
recoverable amounts are based would not cause the aggregate
carrying amounts to exceed the aggregate recoverable amounts of the
cash generating units and that cash flows from these units will
continue in line with expectations for the foreseeable future.

As at 31 December 2016, SpaceandPeople plc had drawn down GBP1.2
million (2015: GBP1 million) of its agreed bank facility of GBP2
million (2015: GBP2 million), GBP1 million of which expires in July
2017 and the other GBP1 million expires in July 2019. The Group is
in technical breach of its covenants in relation to these
facilities and no further drawdown is permitted until the covenant
breaches have been resolved.
21. Financial instruments and risk management
The Group has no material financial instruments other than cash,
current receivables and liabilities, in both this and the prior
period, all of which arise directly from its operations. The net
fair value of its financial assets and liabilities is the same as
their carrying value as detailed in the balance sheet and related
notes.
Credit risk - The Group's credit risk relates to its receivables
and is managed by undertaking regular credit evaluations of its
customers.
Liquidity risk - The Group operates a cash-generative business
and holds net funds. The Directors consider the funding structure
to be adequate for the Group's current funding requirements and
