Subscription fees
Subscription fees covers license, hosting and main-
tenance. Fixed term subscription agreements give the
right to use the software for a determined period of
time, which can be extended at the end of the initial
term. Standard perpetual software licenses provide
clients with the right to use the software whilst the
contract remains in force. New subscription fees are
comprised of income derived from new clients and
additional subscription income originating from supple
-
mentary sales (uplifts) to existing clients. The main
possible performance obligation related to subscription
agreements has been identified as the right to use
the software. The right to use software license is
considered a separate performance obligation when
it satisfies the following conditions: can be delivered
separately from other services, can be installed by
a third party, can be used without upgrades, and is
functional without upgrades or technical support.
Agillic has assessed that the client obtains control of
the license when a contract is agreed, the license is
delivered, and the client has the right to use it. Revenue
relating to subscription fees are recognised over time.
The transaction price allocated to these subscriptions
is recognised as a contract liability (deferred income) at
the time of the initial sales transaction and is released
on a straight-line basis over the subscription agreement
period.
Transaction fees
Transaction fees relate to outbound transactions, i.e.
email, SMS, etc. Transactions are sold on price per units
for the relevant transaction and revenue is calculated
based on transactions send and recognised when
control of the goods has been transferred, being at
the point the client purchases the goods by sending
out transactions.
Professional services and other fees
Agillic provides professional services and training
related to on-boarding and setup of infrastructure,
template design and implementation and training of
new and existing clients. These services are sold on
hourly billing rates for the relevant service and revenue
is as a performance obligation satisfied over time.
Revenue is recognised for these installation services
based on the stage of completion.
Direct costs
Direct costs comprise costs incurred to achieve the
year’s revenue including hosting and transaction costs.
Other operating income
Other operating income and other operating expenses
comprise income and expenses of a secondary nature
relative to the primary activities of Agillic.
Other external costs
Other external costs comprise sales and marketing
costs, external consultancy costs, other employee
related costs, IT and software costs, investor relations
costs, rent costs, allowances for doubtful trade
receivables and other administrative expenses.
Staff costs
Staff costs consist of salaries, sales commissions,
bonuses, pensions and social costs, share-based
payments, vacation pay, and other benefits. Salaries,
bonuses, pensions and social costs, share-based
payments, vacation pay, and other benefits are
recognised in the year in which the associated services
are rendered by the employees. Agillic has entered into
retirement benefits schemes and similar agreements
with employees. Contributions to defined contribution
plans are recognised in the income statement in the
period to which they relate and any contributions
outstanding are recognised in the statement of financial
position as other liabilities.
Share-based payments
The Board of Directors, the Executive Leadership and
other employees have been granted warrants. The
warrants are measured at fair value at the grant date
and are recognised as an expense in staff costs over the
vesting period. Expenses are set off against equity. The
fair value of the warrants is measured using the Black-
Scholes valuation method or other generally accepted
valuation techniques. The calculation takes into account
the terms and conditions under which the warrants
are granted. Subsequent fair value adjustments are
not recognised in the income statement. If subsequent
modifications to a warrant program increase the value
of the warrants granted, measured before and after the
modification, the increase is recognised as an expense.
If the modification occurs before the vesting period the
increase in value is recognised as an expense over the
period for services to be received. If the modification
occurs after the vesting date, the increase in value is
recognised as an expense immediately. Consideration
received for warrants sold are recognised directly in
equity.
Financial income and financial expenses
Financial income and expenses include interest income,
interest expense, amortisation of borrowing issue costs
and realised and unrealised exchange gains and losses.
Tax
Tax on the profit/loss for the year comprises the year’s
current tax and changes in deferred tax. The tax expense
relating to the profit/loss for the year is recognised in
the income statement, and the tax expense relating to
items recognised in other comprehensive income and
directly in equity, respectively, is recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax payable and receivable is recognised in
the balance sheet as the expected tax on the taxable
income for the year, adjusted for tax paid on account.
The current tax charge for the year is calculated based
on the tax rates and rules enacted at the balance sheet
date.
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method
on all temporary differences between the accounting
and taxable values of assets and liabilities. Deferred
tax assets are assessed yearly and only recognised
to the extent that it is more likely than not that they
can be utilised. Deferred tax assets, including the tax
value of tax losses carried forward, are recognised as
other non-current assets and measured at the amount
at which they are expected to be realised, either by
setting off deferred tax liabilities or by setting off tax on
future earnings within the same legal entity or a jointly
taxed entity. Deferred tax is measured based on the
tax legislation and statutory tax rates in the respective
countries that will apply under the legislation in force
on the balance sheet date when the deferred tax asset
is expected to crystallize as current tax. Changes in
deferred tax resulting from changes in tax rates are
recognised in the income statement. Agillic recognises
deferred tax assets relating to losses carried forward
when Executive Leadership finds that these can be
offset against taxable income in the foreseeable future.
An assessment is made taking into consideration the
effect of restrictions in utilisation in local tax legislation.
Future taxable income is assessed based on budgets as
well as Executive Leadership’s expectations regarding
growth and operating margin in the coming years.
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
Intangible assets
Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are
measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses. Intangible assets include developed
software and client contracts. Amortisation is provided
on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives
of the finite-lived assets, which are as follows:
Client contracts 3 years
Software developed 5 years
Expected useful lives are reassessed regularly. Agillic
regularly reviews the carrying amounts of its finite-lived
intangible assets to determine whether there is an
indication of an impairment loss.
Patents
Agillic is in the process of applying for a patent on
the Agillic platform. Patents acquired are initially
recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and
subsequently carried at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses. The carrying values of patent assets
are reviewed annually for impairment to assess if there
is an indication of impairment.
Client contracts
Client contracts acquired are initially recognised at
fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment losses. The value of client
contracts is amortised on a straight-line basis, based
on the estimated duration of the acquired contract
or other relevant period if deemed appropriate. The
carrying values of other intangible assets are reviewed
annually for impairment to assess if there is an indi-
cation of impairment beyond what is expressed through
normal amortisation. If the carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the
asset is written down to the recoverable amount. All
intangible assets are considered to have limited useful
economic lives.
Software developed
Software developed by Agillic is recognised as an
asset if the cost of development is reliably measurable
and an analysis shows that future economic benefits
from using the software exceed the cost. Cost is
defined as development costs incurred to make the
software ready for use. Once a software application
has been developed the cost is amortised over the
expected useful life. The cost of development consists
primarily of direct salaries and other directly attributable
development costs. Amortisation and impairment
charges are recognised in the income statement. For
Agillic, the measurement of intangible assets, could
be affected by significant changes in judgment and
assumptions underlying their calculation. The estimated
useful life reflects the period over which Agillic expects
to derive economic benefit from intangible assets. As
active markets for the majority of acquired assets and
liabilities do not exist, management has made estimates
of their fair values. Fair values were estimated as the
present value of future cash flows calculated based
on churn rates or other expected cash flows related
to each asset. Estimates of fair value are associated
with uncertainty and may be subsequently adjusted.
