  • The Company has adopted IFRS 15 using the

cumulative efgect method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of 1 January 2017

  • Revenue recognition relating to most of our

products and services remains substantially unchanged and, in consequence, the impact of the new standard on our opening balances (as at 1 January 2017) was immaterial

  • The most signifjcant impact of the standard

relates to our accounting for user acquisition costs associated with subscription sales which, are considered incremental in obtaining the contract, and therefore capitalised and amortised over the expected customer relationship period under the new standard

  • The adoption of the new standard had no impact
