CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Although the revenue for the year 2017-2018 was broadly in line with 2017, the profit, after writing off £445,000 of prior year’s R&D expenditure, was £148,821. Revenues for the year were affected by Government cuts in spending and its effects on GPSoC2. GPSoC2, the nationally funded framework where DXS is accredited, ends in 2019. DXS anticipates beginning the tendering process for GPSoC3 in
Nevertheless, the group invested over £1 million into R&D in the year. As noted below, we believe this has been worthwhile as we are receiving extremely positive endorsement and, with the first pilots now live, are gearing up for an aggressive growth period over the next 3-4 years.

Principal Risks
Failure to achieve predicted quantities of DXS contracts, and slower development of additional revenue streams may result in revenues growing more slowly than anticipated. These may be mitigated due to a more price and budget flexible GPSoC3 (new centrally funded supplier contract) anticipated to be implemented in 3-4th QTR of 2019.
Financial Instruments
At this stage the group is not faced with risk relating to interest rates on loans, credit and liquidity.
Dividend
The Directors do not recommend a dividend.
Research and Development
The group continues to invest in research and development both locally and internationally and during this financial year has invested £1,039,687 into R&D for the introduction, continuation and completion of a number of new DXS solutions. These are mainly targeted at providing clinicians and patients with solutions to long term conditions. These products are aligned with the

The results for the year were as anticipated due to the significant level of investment in R&D during the year of over £1,000,000. The decrease of turnover by 0.6% over that in 2017 was mainly due to market changes within the healthcare sector.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) General information and basis of preparation.
The group's principal activities during the year were the development and distribution of clinical decision support to General Practitioners, Nurses and Retail Pharmacies in the
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 Applicable in the
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
(b) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are capitalised at cost.
Research and development expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated.
Intangible assets are amortised over a straight line basis over their useful lives. The useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:
Intangible type | Useful life | Reasons |
Development expenditure | 5 years from the date that the specific product is completed and available for distribution | Period of time for benefit to be received |
Provision is made for any impairment.
(c) Tangible fixed assets
The company capitalises items purchased as Tangible Fixed Assets which have a cost in excess of £500.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Plant and equipment 3-4 years straight line
(d) Debtors and creditors receivable/ payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administration expenses
(e) Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost using an effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
(f) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event. It is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.
(g) Tax
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
(h) Turnover and other income
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policy adopted for the recognition of turnover is as follows –
Sale of services
Turnover is from the sale of opportunities to the pharmaceutical industry and the
(i) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions are initially recognised by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at the balance sheet date are translated using the closing rate
(j) Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the company, short term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
(k) Leases
Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(l) Share Option Scheme Accounting Policy
The company recognised as an expense, the fair value of share options granted over their vesting period. The fair value is calculated by applying an option pricing model.
Factors affecting the model are: expected volatility, exercise price, weighted average share price, option life and risk free interest rate. In respect of options granted by the company –
- use of the Black Scholes calculator as the option pricing model,
- calculated volatility using the Adam Greene Volatility method using an average share price over the previous 104 weeks,
- the directors base their calculations on an option life of 2 years.
(m) Key judgements and Key accounting estimates
There are no Key judgements or Key Accounting estimates with a material effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities.
