DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Directors present their report and the audited accounts of the Group and Company for the year ended 30 June 2011.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company, and the principal activities of the Group during the year was (i) distribution of satellite communication equipment and airtime and (ii) sale of proprietorial software and associated equipment in VoIP and bandwidth optimisation markets.
Reporting currency
The Group reports its financial statements in US dollars because the majority of its sales and cost of sales are in this currency.
Results and dividends
The retained profit for the year of $5,833,000 (2010: $2,290,000) was transferred to reserves. During the year dividends, final dividend for 2010 and interim for the year under review, of $723,000 were paid (2010: $481,000). The board are not recommending a final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2011 as the company considers it prudent to retain cash for the completion of the Horizon roll out programme.
Review of the business and future developments
The Group’s results for the year ended 30 June 2011 show income increased by 6.2 % to $ 123 million (2010: $115 million) at a blended gross margin of 18.4 % (2010: 16.9%) which reflects the higher margin available from the Horizon Globex business, the gross profit earned in the year increased to $22.5 million (2010: $19.5 million). Administration expenses rose 4.7% to $16.5 million. The profit after tax is $ 5.8 million (2010: $2.3 million) and the dividends paid and recommended are as set out in the preceding note.
Key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) are as follows:
| · | Inventory turnaround average = 4.5 times per year (2010: 4.28) |
| · | Average trade receivables days = 45.2 days (2010: 42.2) |
| · | Average trade payables days = 74.2 days (2010: 50.7) |
Following the acquisition of Abbey Technology GmbH (“Abbey”) in September 2010 the Group has set up a subsidiary Horizon Globex GmbH (“Globex”) to sell the IP optimisation platform developed by Abbey. In the year under review Globex sold two Global Exchanges to (1) Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (“SingTel”) and (2) Horizon Globex India PVT Ltd, in which the Group has a 19% voting participation with the balance of shares owned by Voicecom Technologies PVT Ltd.
Overview of Horizon
Horizon is the world’s most bandwidth-efficient Voice over IP (VoIP) platform. Enabled by the company’s SmartPacket™ technology, it offers VoIP from only 2kbs compared to around 8kbps from other VoIP platforms.
Horizon enables greater bandwidth efficiency by reducing IP overhead and optimising packet flow, delivery and playback. It is also extremely efficient in the way it handles silence. Traditional VoIP calls send the same amount of data in both directions, regardless of whether someone is speaking or not. Horizon detects silence and sends “heartbeats” so it doesn’t sound like the line has been dropped. These heartbeats get sent at only 0.25kbps compared to around 8kbps on other VoIP platforms. From low-bandwidth VoIP, Horizon extends into a range of optimised data applications – email, web browsing and instant messaging – which give the user total visibility and control over how much data they consume.
The solution has been totally developed in-house and is fully compatible with digital telecommunications standards. It is capable of interconnecting any phone system over IP – on mobile, fixed and satellite networks.
The company’s SmartPacket™ technology is patent-pending and the patent is expected to come through by mid 2012.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT(continued)
Future growth opportunities
The Horizon solution was initially developed for the mobile satellite market, to make best use of the limited bandwidth available, minimise the amount of data consumed and ultimately save costs for the end-user.
The company then realised the potential for the solution in the broader telecommunications market, particularly within the mobile sector. With the explosive growth in smartphone sales and increased usage of mobile data services, mobile operators face the challenge of dealing with increasingly congested networks, more dropped calls and rising levels of churn. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource and it is not always possible to increase network capacity. The demand for solutions which optimise the use of IP bandwidth will inevitably grow.
The company has therefore developed a mobile application which enables highly bandwidth-efficient VoIP calls over a smartphone using an EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi or WiMax connection. The Horizon Call app is currently available for the iPhone and a version for Android is in development.
Unlike other mobile VoIP apps, Horizon Call is positioned a business-to-business solution for mobile operators. It is a solution that they own and deploy. They decide how to integrate it within their portfolio, how to offer it commercially and it can be customised according to their own branding. It helps them to manage rising traffic volumes while also combating the competitive threat to their voice telephony revenues from other mobile VoIP apps.
Asia represents a key opportunity for the Horizon Call app because there are significant markets with high population density, high penetration of mobile phones and high growth in the adoption of smartphones. These factors will put increased pressure on mobile operators to manage their network availability.
In this context, Horizon Globex is forming a number of joint ventures with local partners in the region to exploit this opportunity. To date, the company has formed a joint venture in India and others are currently being established.
Commercial risks
Commercial risks faced by the Group are similar to many other businesses, in terms of foreign exchange losses where the business buys and sells goods and services in a currency other than the reporting currency. The Group has limited exposure in salaries and other overheads priced in Sterling, Euro’s, Thai Baht, Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars and to a small extent Yen. Trading expenditure and income is predominately in US dollars. Where certain product lines are priced in other currencies the price quoted is based on prevailing rates of exchange.
The Group has US Dollar bank facilities (see note 22) which are being repaid. In order to protect the Group against interest rate changes the Group has taken out hedging options on the two bank term facilities as follows:
| a) | Three quarters of the term loan secured with HSBC USA has an interest collar with the minimum rate payable of 5.7% and the maximum rate payable of 7.0%. The balance of the facilities are at floating rates. The balance outstanding at 30 June 2011 on this loan was $1.4 million (2010: $2.19 million) |
| b) | On the term loan secured with HSBC UK, an option was taken with the rate fixed at 5.5% to cover the amortising balance outstanding throughout the term. The balance outstanding at 30 June 2011 on this loan was $1.6 million (2010: $3.2 million) |
Regarding risks associated with technology changes within the industry product ranges, the Group has experienced a low level of inventory obsolescence over many years, partially due to maintaining low inventory levels and partially due to the long practical life of products within the mobile satellite services sector when compared to other communication sectors.

The amount donated by the Group to charitable bodies was $10,000 (2010: $14,000). The Group made no political contributions during the year (2010: $nil).
Third party indemnity provision for directors

Information on the Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies relating to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk is provided in note 4 to the financial statements.
Creditor payment policy
It is the Group’s policy that payments to suppliers are made in accordance with all relevant terms and conditions.
Going concern
The Group has, following the year end, secured additional funds totalling $5.0 million. The funds are from an outside investor for new shares ($3.0m) and a loan from the major shareholders ($2.0m) which incurs 10% interest with repayment on IPO, Company sale or anytime at the Company’s discretion. The Group has bank facilities due for renewal at the end of February 2012. The Directors are not aware of any reason why the bank facilities will not be renewed, however should the Group need to raise additional funding then the Board have identified equity investors and confirmed their interest in investing. After making suitable enquiries, the Board is satisfied that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

One Horizon Group plc
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2011
| 1. | Nature of business and corporate information |
One Horizon Group plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given on page 1. The nature of the group’s operations and its principal activities are set out in the Directors’ report on pages 2 to 5.
The financial statements of the Group and Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting and Accounting Standards adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”). The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except where IFRS requires an alternative treatment. The principal variations from historical cost relate to financial instruments (IAS 39).
The financial statements are presented in US dollars since this is the currency in which the majority of the Company’s transactions are denominated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, even or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, there were Standards and Interpretations that were in issue but not yet effective and have not been applied in these financial statements. The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the financialstatements of the Group or Company, except for additional disclosures when the relevant Standards come into effect.
The Group has, following the year end, secured additional funds totalling $5.0 million. The funds are from an outside investor for new shares ($3.0m) and a loan from the major shareholders ($2.0m) which incurs 10% interest with repayment on IPO, Company sale or anytime at the Company’s discretion. The Group has bank facilities due for renewal at the end of February 2012. The Directors are not aware of any reason why the bank facilities will not be renewed, however should the Group need to raise additional funding then the Board have identified equity investors and confirmed their interest in investing in the Group , After making suitable enquiries, the Board is satisfied that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
| 3. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and enterprises controlled by the Company (“its subsidiaries”) made up to 30 June each year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of a subsidiary.
Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make additional investment to cover the losses.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
All inter-company transactions and balances between group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2011
| 3. | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets that are held for resale, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of cost over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled entity at the date of acquisition. For business combinations completed on or after 1 January 2010, direct costs of acquisition are recognised immediately as an expense. Goodwill is recognised as an asset and is tested for impairment annually, or on such occasions that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its value might be impaired.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of unamortised goodwill, which has not been subject to impairment, is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
Positive goodwill arising on acquisitions before the date of the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards has been retained at the previous UK GAAP amount subject to being tested for impairment at that date. Negative goodwill arising on acquisitions before the date of the transition has been credited to retained earnings at the date of transition. Where negative goodwill arises on acquisitions after the date of the transition, it is immediately credited in full to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on the acquisition date.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised:
| · | on hardware and prepaid airtime sales when invoiced and shipped, |
| · | on postpaid airtime when supplied, |
| · | on software when supplied. |
Revenue is stated net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the interest rate applicable.
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.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Assets leased to customers
Assets sold to customers under finance leases are capitalised as equipment and depreciated over the term of the lease to the customer. Assets leased to customers on operating leases are capitalised as equipment and depreciated over their useful life.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period to which they are incurred.

| 3. | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
Taxation
The tax charge represents the sum of current and deferred tax.
Current tax payable is based on taxable profits for the year. Taxable profits differ from net profits as reported in the income statement because it excludes items that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are not taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheets 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 the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that 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 enacted or substantially enacted, and that are expected to apply in the period when the liability or the asset is realised.
Currencies
Transactions in currencies other than US Dollars are initially recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. The principal exchange rate ruling at 30 June 2011 was £1 = US$1.61 . Profits and losses arising on exchange are included in the net profit or loss for the period.
Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is allocated to cash-generating units. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or on such other occasions that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its value might be impaired
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is land or buildings at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash generating unit). A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. Impairment losses relating to goodwill are not reversed.
Share based payments - employee services
The fair value of employee services received in exchange for the grant of options or shares is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options or shares determined at the grant date, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable and the number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive. This estimate is revised at each balance sheet date and the difference is charged or credited to the income statement. Proceeds received on exercise of options, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to equity.

Externally acquired intangible assets
Externally acquired intangible fixed assets are initiallyrecognisedat cost and subsequently amortised on a straight-linebasis over their usefuleconomiclives.
Intangible assets are recognised onbusinesscombinations it they are separable from the acquired entity or giveriseto other contractual/legal rights. The amounts ascribedtosuchintangiblesare arrived at byusingappropriate valuation techniques (see section related to criticalestimatesandjudgementsbelow).
In-process research and development programmes acquired in such combinations are recognised as an asset even ifsubsequent expenditureis written off becausethecriteria specified in the policy for development costs below arenot met.
The significantintangibles recognisedby theGroup, theiruseful economic lives and themethods usedtodetermine thecostofintangibles acquired in a business combination are as follows:
Intangible assets | Useful economic life | Valuation method |
Contractual relationships | Term of contract | Estimated discounted |
| (up to 5 years) | Cash flow |
| | |
Software | Indeterminate | Relief from Royalty method |
| | incorporating a discounted |
| | cash flow |
The software isincludedwithin the billing system intangible asset, and as such is tested for impairment annually, or on such occasionsthatevents or changes in circumstances indicate thatitsvalue might beimpaired.
Internally generated intangible assets (development costs)
Expenditure oninternallydeveloped productsiscapitalised if it can be demonstrated that:
• it is technically feasible todevelopthe product for it to be sold;
• adequate resources are available to complete thedevelopment;
• thereisanintentionto complete and sell the product;
• theGroupis abletosell theproduct;
• sale oftheproduct will generate future economicbenefits;and
• expenditure on the project can be measured reliably.
Capitalised developmentcosts are in relation tothe Group'sbilling system, whichisconsidered to have anindeterminateeconomic life.The billing system is tested forimpairmentannually, or on such occasionsthatevents or changes in circumstances indicatethatits value might beimpaired.
Developmentexpenditurenotsatisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the research phaseof internalprojects are recognisedinthe consolidated statement of comprehensiveincomeasincurred.
Segmental reporting
The Directors regard the Group's primary segments of business to be Satcom Global FZE and Horizon Software. The business has no geographical aspect which requires analysis as secondary segments. Costs are allocated to the appropriate segment as they arise with central overheads apportioned on a reasonable basis.

For the year ended 30 June 2011
| 3. | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipmentis stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged so as to write the cost less residual value over estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method commencing in the month following the purchase, on the following basis:
Leasehold property improvements | - | Term of lease |
Equipment | - | Between 3 and 5 years |
Motor vehicles | - | 5 years |
The useful lives and residual values of assets are reviewed annually.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, over the term of the lease.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset including disposal costs is recognised in the income statement.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the average cost method, and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated revenue less all estimated costs of completion and necessary selling costs.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group or Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group faces certain risks, not all of which are within its control. The main risk factors are outlined as follows:
| a) | Suppliers – The Group purchases its airtime from a few main satellite operators, the majority being from Inmarsat, Iridium and Thuraya and is reliant on the operators maintaining their capacity to enable customers to use their equipment. The satellite operators have contingency plans to protect their business and the directors consider the risk is not significant. |
| b) | Foreign currency – The Group reports its results in US Dollars because the majority of the trading income and expenditure is in that currency. The Group has limited exposure to sterling/US dollar exchange rate due to the fact that UK head office and certain interest costs are payable in sterling. |
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are stated at their nominal value less allowances for irrecoverability.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term deposits and liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accruals basis in the income statement using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that creates a residual interest in the assets of the group. Financial Liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
Trade payables are stated at cost.
One Horizon Group plc
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2011
| 3. | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event from which it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will occur which can be reasonably quantified.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Impairment of intangibles
(a)The Group is required to test, where indicators of impairment exist, whether intangible assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount is determined based on value in use calculations. The use of this method requires the estimation of future cash flows and the choice of a discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the cash flows. Actual outcomes may vary.
(b) The Group’s core business is subject to rapid technological change. The accounts are prepared and policies relating to goodwill and other intangibles are applied in accordance with judgements formed in the light of current technological and market knowledge. It is possible that technological change could alter these judgements at any time.
Summarised below are details of the new standards, significant amendment to standards and interpretations which have been issued by the IASB and IFRIC but not adopted by the Group during the period as application is not mandatory in the current financial year:
Standard/ | | |
Interpretation | Title | Effective date |

- IAS 19 (amendments): | Employee benefits | 1 January 2013 |
- IAS 32 (amendments): | Offsetting Financial Assets and | |
| Financial Liabilities | 1 January 2014 |
None of the new standards, interpretations and amendments, which are effective for periods beginning after 1 July 2010 and which have not been adopted early, are expected to have a material effect on the Group's future financial statements.

Financial risk factors
The Group’s business activities are set out in the Business Review on pages 2 to 3. These activities expose the Group to a number of financial risks. The following describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing these risks and the methods used to measure them.
| (a) | Capital risk management |
The Group’s objectives for managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an efficient capital structure to manage the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders and issue new shares or buy back existing shares. The Group has bank facilities as set out in note 22. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.
The Group has limited exposure to price risk relating to the price of airtime and hardware, as price changes from suppliers would be passed onto customers under the contractual agreements.
As the Group has limited interest rate risk as it has fixed rates on its principal debt contracts. The impact is on income and operating cash flow and arises from changes in market interest rates. Cash resources are held in current, floating rate accounts.
| (ii) | Foreign currency risk |
The vast majority of the group’s trading activities are denominated in USD, the reporting currency. The group has salary and operating costs in local currency in the countries where we have a presence. These risks are not considered significant.
Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables and other current assets. The majority of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are held across three UK financial institutions.
The concentration of credit risk from trade receivables and other current assets varies throughout the year depending on the timing of transactions.
A high proportion of trading partners by value are large corporate entities, or governmental bodies with good credit ratings thereby minimising the risk of non-payment. Other exposures of the Group are spread over a number of customers and counterparties with little concentration on any one entity. There are no other identified concentration risks.
Exposures to credit risk is analysed below:
| | | 2011 | | | | 2010 | |
| | | $’000 | | | | $’000 | |
Trade receivables | | | 15,206 | | | | 13,339 | |
Other receivables | | | 1,616 | | | | 1,384 | |

One Horizon Group plc
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2011
| 4 | Financial risk management (continued) |
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables and other current assets is represented by their carrying amount.
No significant collateral is held is respect of the above exposures however no significant amounts are past due or impaired and the credit quality of the exposures is considered to be good
The Group seeks to manage liquidity risk to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet the requirements of the business and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. The Board reviews available cash to ensure there are sufficient resources for working capital requirements.
At 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 all amounts shown in the consolidated balance sheet under current assets and current liabilities mature for payment within one year.

| | | | |
SatCom Global | | | 16,588 | |
The unit’s recoverable amount have been determined on the value in use basis. This were calculated as the net present value of projected cash flows derived from budgets approved by management for the three years ending 30 June 2014 and extended by a further two years to 30 June 2016 by assuming trading in those two years would be similar to the budget for the year ending 30 June 2014 with a compound growth rate of 5% applied.
The key assumptions used for the budgets for the three years to 30 June 2014 were:-
Growth – growth assumptions were related to forecasts on the take up of new technology being offered by the Group together with the reasonably expected growth associated with existing large contracts.
Margin – based on existing margins achieved and those inherent in the future performance of existing contracts.
Acquisitions – no acquisitions have been assumed.
Discount rates – rates of 12% have been used. The Board considers that this rate reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and risk specific to the income generating units.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2011
The Board currently considers that the recoverable amounts are greater than the carrying value of goodwill for any reasonably likely variance in the key assumptions.

The Group billing system includes licences and other ancillary costs. The system enables call data records from a large number of sources to be collated and billed to customers. Following the acquisition of Abbey the billing system is now an integral part of the Horizon Software product. As such the Board considers that this intellectual property now has an indeterminate life and accordingly is not amortised but is instead subject to annual impairment review.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2011
On 18 September 2010 the Group acquired 100% of the voting equity instruments of Abbey Technology GmbH (“Abbey”). Abbey is a software development company based in Switzerland.
The primary reasons for this acquisition were that Abbey had been contracted to develop bandwidth optimised software “Horizon” for the Mobile Satellite Services sector by the Group and, having worked in close collaboration with Abbey, the parties could see significant other markets to utilise this new technology in, particularly GSM and VSAT. Having worked prior to the acquisition jointly with Abbey to develop Horizon, the Directors believe that the Group would be in a better position to roll-out the product and service proposition by bringing the Group and Abbey together. This enabled the expanded Group to own the IP relating to Horizon, and to retain the full benefit of the margins and to strengthen the management team by the addition of Brian Collins to the Board.
Details of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, purchase consideration and goodwill are as follows:
