Since joining the Toumaz Group in September 2013, I am pleased to report that we have made significant progress.We have evolved clear strategic objectives, laid the building blocks for future growth and have completed a £17.2mfundraising in Q4 2013 that will enable the Group to realise its ambitions. Toumaz is now well funded and this willenable us to continue the momentum that has been building throughout the year.

Our focus is on commercially exploiting our expertise in low power, wireless connectivity in semiconductorsdeployed in professional healthcare environments and consumer, connected audio markets. In addition we aremarket leaders in digital radio. The £17.2m raised will allow the business to develop these areas of focus with thecompletion of twomajor chip development programmes and the establishment of a sales andmarketing infrastructurefor SensiumVitals®.

The Group’s healthcare business, now renamed Sensium Healthcare, has made great progress with the firstcommercial revenues achieved in the last few months together with a growing order book for the FDA approvedand CE certified SensiumVitals®. Following the successful conclusion of the US pilot in April 2013, a new distributionagreement was signed for North America in October 2013 followed by an expanding number of internationaldistributor agreements so far in 2014. Following the installation of the necessary hardware, two major deploymentsare about to begin: in the US, the Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan will be the first emergency departmentto deploy the system; and in the UK Spire Healthcare’s Montefiore Hospital in Brighton and Hove will be the firstprivate hospital to use the system. The Board is confident of seeing further deployments in several territories aroundthe world in 2014.

The Group’s connected audio business, Frontier Silicon, has developed relationships with Spotify and ImaginationTechnologies. These relationships are an endorsement of Frontier’s technical and commercial expertise and havealready contributed to a number of design wins. In parallel, we are developing our next generation Connected Audiochipset, scheduled to come tomarket in 2015. Frontier is also themarket leader in digital radio providing technologysolutions for device manufacturers. Its next generation digital radio chip will be launched in the next 12 months.

The Board saw a number of changes in 2013, with Professor Christofer Toumazou stepping down as Chairman andtaking a role as a Non-Executive Director. The Board owes a debt of gratitude to Christofer whose vision has helpeddefine what Toumaz Group is today.

I would also like to thank the Group’s employees for their commitment and energy over the last 12 months, and takethis opportunity to welcome the new employees who have recently joined the company, particularly in SensiumHealthcare, where several years of engineering endeavour are on the brink of achieving a commercial breakthrough.

Looking ahead, the Group’s priorities are clear – full commercialisation of SensiumVitals® and completion of the latestchip developments in Connected Audio and Digital Radio. The foundations to achieve these objectives are nowlargely in place and I am confident that 2014 will be a year of significant progress.

Overview2013 was an important year in establishing the foundations for the Toumaz Group’s future growth. The Group’sfinancial performance was in line with the Board’s expectations. Revenues were £21.9m (2012 pro forma: £22.3m),with a 13% increase in Digital Audio volumes offset by lower average prices, due largely to existing chip setsapproaching their end of life. EBITDA loss improved to £9.4m (2012: pro forma loss of £11.2m). Following thefundraising, completed in November 2013, cash at the end of the year was £21.5m.

Within the operating businesses, good progress was made within both the Wireless Healthcare and DigitalAudio divisions.

Wireless Healthcare saw the successful pilot of its wireless healthcaremonitoring system, SensiumVitals®, completedin the US in April 2013. This was followed by a new distribution agreement signed with its North American partnerand first commercial orders from the US. CEmarking was also received for SensiumVitals® and its first UK installationhas been completed. A direct sales force is now operational in UK, France and Germany and since the period end,distributors have been appointed in Scandinavia, Portugal, Middle East, Australia and New Zealand. SensiumHealthcare is expected to begin generating significant revenues in 2014. Hospitals and medical institutions areshowing strong interest in the potential of SensiumVitals® to improve patient safety, shorten hospital stays and reducehealthcare costs. By the end of the year, several deployments are expected to be under way.

In Connected Audio, agreements were signed with Spotify and Imagination Technologies to provide connectedsolutions for their direct music streaming services. The Group’s existing solutions will continue to be enhanced andseveral new design wins should result in 2014. Another major development focus is on the Symphony programme,a next generationWi-Fi Connected Audio solution.Working closely with Imagination Technologies, this should startgenerating revenues in 2015.

The Digital Radio business retained its 80% market share in consumer DAB/DAB+ during 2013. The Group expectsto see continued market growth, particularly in the UK and Germany, and its priority will be the introduction of thenext generation digital radio chip, Chorus 4. Discussions with customers have already begun, with strong interestbeing shown by leading digital audio manufacturers.

Current trading and outlookThe Group is trading in line with the Board’s expectations. Revenue is underpinned by strong recurring revenues inthe Digital Radio sector where the Group enjoys a significant market share. The Digital Radio market is expected toexpand over the coming years and although there is likely to be some price erosion on sales, the new chipdevelopment will lead to significantly lower costs.

Connected Audio revenues are also performing as expected and as the business develops in the next two years, inparticular with the introduction of its next generation chip, strong growth is anticipated.

In Wireless Healthcare, following the signing of the new North American distribution agreement in October2013, the business recorded its first commercial orders and this is expected to become a key driver of growth ofGroup revenues.

The Group aims to become cash flow positive in 2015 and to have increased revenues fivefold by 2017.

TheGroup’s underlying ultra-low power connectivity solutions have the potential to enablemuch functionality withinthe Internet of Things, focusing at first on healthcare monitoring and digital audio.

The Group’s immediate priority is to ensure that the timetables for the chip developments currently under way areadhered to, existingmarkets are maintained and that the commercial potential within the Healthcare and ConnectedAudio market is realised.

Operational Review

Wireless Healthcare2013 saw the first meaningful steps towards the commercialisation of the SensiumVitals® wireless vital signsmonitoring system. The first pilot of SensiumVitals® was completed in the US in April 2013. The results of the sixmonth study at Saint John’s Health Center were highly encouraging. On average, patients who received early warningalerts stayed in hospital four days fewer than would have normally been expected, resulting in average savings foreach of these patients of $5,500*.

In October 2013, the Group announced a new distribution agreement with its North American partner, Nant Health.SensiumVitals® is being deployed at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan, where the system is being used in anAccident & Emergency department for the first time. It will be used to monitor patients who, post-triage, may needto sit in a waiting area for extended periods. The system is scheduled to go live in May 2014.

Also in October 2013, SensiumVitals® received its CE Mark, enabling the system to be sold across the EuropeanUnion. The first UK deployment, at private hospital group Spire Healthcare’s Montefiore Hospital, was installed andtested in Q1 2014. Full deployment is expected in May 2014 once the system has been wholly integrated with thehospital’s existing IT networks.

At the beginning of 2014, the Toumaz Healthcare business was renamed as Sensium Healthcare, in order to buildawareness and recognition of the Sensium brand. The Group has also appointed a Medical Advisor, Dr Ian Jackson,Chief Information Officer and Patient Safety Officer for York Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and President of theInternational Association for Ambulatory Surgery.

Sensium Healthcare is rapidly developing its commercial infrastructure with the appointment of management withextensive medical device industry experience, and a direct salesforce for SensiumVitals® in the UK, Germany andFrance. In addition to the Nant Health distribution partnership in North America, further distributors are beingappointed throughout Europe and the Middle East. Agreements have been signed in Australia, New Zealand,Scandinavia, Portugal and Bahrain.

SensiumVitals® also received regulatory approval from the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) during the firstquarter of 2014, enabling the system to be commercialised in Australia. This nowmeans that SensiumVitals® is beingmarketed to countries collectively accounting for 60% of the world’s healthcare expenditure.

The focus for Sensium Healthcare is now to ensure the successful roll-out of SensiumVitals® in several territoriesaround the world. There have been positive indications from public and private hospitals in North America, the UK,France, Germany, Sweden, Australia and the Middle East and the Group hopes to start deployment in thesegeographies during 2014. There is currently a pipeline of 60 potential customers, in addition to advanced discussionswith potential distribution partners in Italy, Poland, Finland, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Group is also seekingregulatory approval for SensiumVitals® in Japan.

The Group plans to undertake at least one additional health economic study in 2014 in order to provide further clear,robust evidence of the benefits that SensiumVitals® offers to both patients and healthcare providers. In parallel, thecompany has a product roadmap for future enhancements to SensiumVitals®; this will bring new features, improvedfunctionality and lower costs.

The Group is also assessing potential longer term opportunities in the home health sector. Opportunities may existto introduce tailored SensiumVitals® solutions for patients recently discharged from hospital or those with chronicconditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or diabetes.However, the short term focus remains on building the SensiumVitals® business in the hospital market.

Digital Audio

Connected Audio2013 has been a significant year for Connected Audio as its focus has shifted towardsWi-Fi enabledwireless speakersand other connected audio devices.

TheGroup achieved a number of notable designwins and established a strongworking relationship with Spotify, withthe Group’s Venice 6.5 Connected Audio solution supporting Spotify Connect. The first devices based on thissolution, from a range of international consumer electronics brands, came to market in Q4 2013. Furtherenhancements to Venice 6.5 will be implemented in the next few months.

The Group is currently working on the Symphony programme, its next generationWi-Fi Connected Audio solution,in partnership with Imagination Technologies. This new chipset will offer increased functionality, greater processingpower and lower costs and is expected to launch in 2015. Symphony will target a wide range of connected audiodevices, such as wireless speakers, internet radios and soundbars.

The Connected Audio market made strong progress in 2013, with wireless speakers rapidly becoming a mainstreamconsumer sector. The key driver of this trend has been the growing penetration of smartphones and tablets, coupledwith the rise of cloud-based music streaming services.

Currently, the Connected Audiomarket is basedmainly on Bluetooth-enabled devices and proprietary systems. Overthe next four years, the market is expected to shift significantly towards Wi-Fi enabled devices (as Wi-Fi’s superiorfunctionality becomes available at lower price points). By 2017, global sales of Wi-Fi connected audio devices areexpected to reach 37m units – with the market forWi-Fi connected audio technology solutions to grow from $100min 2013 to $350m in 2017†.

TheGroup’s technology also has the potential to provide solutions for the Internet of Things, orMachine-to-Machineapplications, particularly in areas such as home automation, healthcare monitoring, energy management, securityand connected/intelligent toys. In the longer term, Symphony will offer a platform from which to address thesegrowing markets.

Digital RadioIn 2013, the consumer DAB/DAB+ market saw volume growth of 20%. Key drivers were a 52% increase in volumesin Germany‡ following the launch of DAB+ in August 2011, and a 148% increase in sales in Norway as it prepares forDigital Switchover in 2017. In the other established markets (UK, Australia, Denmark and Switzerland), sales werebroadly flat year on year.

Further growth can be expected as additional countries adopt digital radio:

c In September 2013, the Netherlands launched national DAB+ services

c In October 2013, Poland launched DAB+ services in Warsaw and Katowice

c In December 2013, France confirmed that services will launch in Paris, Nice and Marseille in June 2014

c In December 2013, the UK Government confirmed the roll-out of 351 new Digital Radio transmitters andannounced the building of a second national commercial multiplex.

The Group successfully maintained its leadership position within digital radio, continuing to account for80% of worldwide consumer DAB/DAB+ shipments. Key clients in the last year include Bose, Grundig, Philips, Pure,Roberts and Sony.

In 2014, Frontier intends to enter the US digital radio market for the first time, where the HD Radio™ standard isused. In partnership with HD Radio developers, iBiquity Digital, the Group is creating a tailored solution for the USmarket. To date, HD Radio has been primarily focused on the line-fit automotive sector. This new initiative will targetthe market for domestic receivers.

For the last 18months, development focus has been on the next generation digital radio chip, Chorus 4, an integratedsolution which will deliver enhanced functionality and power consumption savings for customers and marginimprovements for the business. The integrated nature of the chip also offers the potential for it to be incorporatedinto smartphones and tablets. Working samples of the chip were delivered in December, testing with customers istaking place fromMarch of this year and first revenues are expected in Q4 2014.

Financial Review

RevenueGroup revenue for the year increased from £8.8m to £21.9m due to the full year consolidation of Frontier Silicon. Ona pro-forma basis, revenuewas broadly static at £21.9m (2012 pro forma: £22.3m). Overall unit shipments increasedfrom 3.1m to 3.5m offset by declining average selling price.

Revenuewas primarily derived from theDigital Audio division (Digital Radio and Connected Audio) in 2013. Againsta difficult economic background the division performed well with a 12.9% increase in unit sales year on year.

TheWireless Healthcare division recorded its first commercial sales in 2013 following the signing of a new distributionagreement in October.

Gross profit margin for the Group was 44.4% (2012: 45.6%) representing a change in product mix and certain of theolder chipsets nearing end of life.

Retained lossFull year retained comprehensive losses in 2013were £10.8m (2012: loss £20.4m). The reduced loss is due primarilyto the one-off impairment charge taken in 2012 in respect of intangible assets. The company continues to be in aninvestment phase and has spent over £9.1m on Research and Development in 2013 (2012:£6.4m).

Group EBITDA loss (loss from continuing operations less depreciation, amortisation and impairment and share basedpayment costs) in 2013 was £9.4m (2012: loss £9.2m). On a pro-forma basis, the EBITDA loss in 2012 was £11.2m.During 2012 an impairment review was carried out on the Group’s intangible assets and a charge of £10.2m wastaken, to reflect the end of life of certain of the intellectual property previously recognised on the balance sheet, dueto technological advances in the industry.

Pre-tax lossThe Group reported a pre-tax loss of £13.3m for the year (2012: loss £21.6m) reflecting the fact that it is still in adevelopmental phase, which should start to drive further revenues from 2015 onwards.

TaxationTheGroup has historically applied for and received tax credits in respect of its research and development expenditure.In 2013, the tax credits amounted to £2.5m (2012: £1.3m). It is expected that similar claims will bemade in the future.

As at 31 December 2013 the Group has unutilised tax losses of £41m that may be utilised against taxablefuture profits. These losses are still to be agreed with the UK tax authorities. In the Board’s opinion there isuncertainty over the timing and quantum of their use in the foreseeable future and therefore a deferred tax assethas not been recognised.

Cash flowDuring the year the Group raised £17.2m net of new funds and at the year-end recorded £21.5m of cash and cashequivalents on the balance sheet.

The Directors present their annual report together with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Groupfor the year ended 31 December 2013. This report has been prepared voluntarily in order to provide appropriateinformation for the shareholders.

Principal activityThe principal activity of the Group is that of commercial exploitation of ultra-low power wireless infrastructuretechnologies with commercial propositions within the Sensium Healthcare and Frontier Digital Audio (Digital Radioand Connected Audio) divisions as discussed in the Chief Executive’s Statement.

Business reviewA review of the business in the year and of future developments is given in the Chairman’s statement and ChiefExecutive’s report on pages 4 to 8.

The results of the Group are shown within the financial statements. The Directors do not recommend the paymentof a dividend.

The key performance indicators the Directors utilise to monitor the performance of the Group are as follows:

Product commercialisationThe Group is currently undertaking a number of major chip developments where sales to end customers are notassured. The Board receives and monitors regular reports on the status of end programme.

Sales contracts and licence deals signed and third party development projects undertaken by Group companies aremonitored on a regular basis. In 2013, the Group signed a distribution agreement for North America with NanthealthLLC to commercialize the SensiumVitals® system to hospitals. Following the signing of that agreement, the firstcommercial orders have been placed to fit out the Hurley Medical Centre in Flint, Michigan. A trial is also plannedwith Spire Group in the UK for early 2014. The digital radio division has long established relationships with majorconsumer electronics brands, including Sony, Philips, Pure, Roberts, Bose, Grundig and Panasonic plus during the yearthere were a significant number of design wins with large retailers.

FundingDuring the year the Group concentrated onmanaging the cash resources of the business in line with internal financialprojections. On 7 November 2013 the Group raised £17.2m net from investors in the City of London to fund itsdevelopment programme and provide working capital. The current forecasts assume that no further funds arerequired in the near term and that should funding be required in future periods then it is believed a number ofpotential sources may be available and that these be assessed at that time.

Share priceThe share price is constantly under scrutiny by the management, and commented upon at Board meetings.

Business risksThere are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could adversely impact the achievement of the Group’scorporate aims. The following are the key risks the Board has identified together with the processes and policies theGroup has in place to mitigate those risks as far as commercially practical.

The introduction of “disruptive technology” into the market exposes us to risksThe introduction of new and untested “disruptive technology” into the market place exposes the Group to the riskthat costly developments will take longer or not achieve acceptable financial returns and put a strain on financialresources. Close relationships with customers, strategic partners and attendance at technology conferences helpmanagement keep informed of new technology innovations.

The length of our product design cycle exposes us to risksThe lengthy design cyclemakes it difficult to forecast product demand, with the possibility that products will ultimatelynot be required by our customers or alternatives become available to them, leading to a failure to achieve expectedreturns. A close relationship with customers and good management of the Integrated Circuit (IC) design team willmitigate these risks.

Delays in development and testing may occurDesigning and introducing new and revised products, at the cutting edge of the technology central to the Group, canresult in operating failures when first introduced and tested. Delays in this can adversely impact our ability to supplythe products our customers might want in a timely manner. Continued improvement of management of the IC designteam and software development team will mitigate these risks.

Delay or failure in achieving regulatory authorisationAny delay or failure in achieving the required accreditation for our products, such as Medical Devices Approval,would lead to an underachievement of the returns expected from our Sensium Healthcare Division. TheSensiumVitals® system for hospital application (complete system from patient to hospital server and nurses’ workstations) was FDA cleared in July 2011 and European CE mark approval was obtained in October 2013. Regulatoryapprovals in other regions are expected in 2014.

The success of our customers’ products is critical to our businessWe are dependent, particularly in the Frontier Digital Audio (Digital Radio and Connected Audio) Division, onmanufacturers to select and design in our products into their own products. Even if this occurs sales of our productsare dependent on the commercial success of the end consumer product. With the acquisition of Frontier this risk isreduced as the products within this division have been established within the market for a number of years and arebuilt into a wide range of end brands.

We may be unable to protect properly our intellectual property and may face challenges for infringementby third partiesWhilst we seek to protect our intellectual property by a well-structured and controlled process of patent applications,maintenance and other tools, we face the risk that others may seek to copy and/or infringe certain aspects of ourintellectual property. Defence of our claims may prove unsuccessful and expensive. In addition we might facechallenges to our use of intellectual property that others might claim belongs to them. The consequences of thiswould be either a complete withdrawal and redesign of the offending product or serious and costly delays in provingour right to exploit the disputed intellectual property. We are not aware of any situation of IP infringement.

We are exposed to risks associated with our suppliers and partners failing and causing a disruption in supplyWe are dependent on third parties to manufacture our components and, in some cases, assemble our products.Failure of any of our major suppliers could lead to delays in designing and testing new products and in supplyingproducts on time and at the agreed costs to our existing customers. This risk is reduced by using a number of differentsuppliers wherever possible.

We are dependent on our senior management and staff for our product development and delivery to customersIf we fail to retain key management and employees our ability to complete on time successfully and to budget bothour development programme and commitments to customers will lead to delays in achieving Group strategic results.To protect our position in this regardwe constantly monitor the competitive nature of our salary and rewards package,look to the share option scheme to add additional benefits to key employees and regularly update them, through staffmeetings and individual briefings, to add “buy in” to our corporate objectives.

Financial risk management objectives and policiesTheGroup’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents. TheGroup has various other financialinstruments such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks which result from both its operating and investing activities. TheDirectors are responsible for co-ordinating the Group’s risk management and focus on actively securing the Group’sshort to medium term cash flows.

The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets and has no financial derivatives. The mostsignificant risks to which the Group is exposed are described below:

Credit riskThe Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheetare net of any allowance for doubtful receivables, estimated by the Directors. Themajority of the Group’s customersare large, established businesses. Credit control checks are carried out on all new customers and credit limits areregularly reviewed.

Cash flow risksThe Group seeks to manage risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs by investingcash assets safely and profitably. Short term flexibility is achieved by the use of money markets to deposit excesscash which is not required in the short term. The Directors prepare rolling cash flow forecasts to identify the needto raise any additional funding where a shortfall in facilities is forecast. £17.2m was raised in November 2013 froma share issue.

Currency risksThe Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Most of its products are priced in US$ and, whilst the majority of itsthird party cost base is also denominated in US$, a large element of its labour cost is borne in sterling and with thesetting up of the research centre in Timisoara, Romania an element is borne in Romanian LEU. Management aim tokeep a reasonable balance of cash in both US$ and £GBP to cover the cost base. The Group does not seek to hedgeits foreign exchange risk and the Directors consider that the exposure to movements in foreign currencies is notsignificant. At the time when the Directors consider that exposure to foreign exchange trading risks becomessignificant they will seek to adopt appropriate hedging strategies and products.

Going concernAt 31December 2013 theGroup has net assets of £59.1m and net current assets of £21.6m, including £21.5m of cash.However, in order to meet their strategic ambitions the Board remains committed to on-going investment into thedevelopment of its products. As such the Group anticipates being cashflow negative in the short term.

In order to assess the appropriateness of the going concern basis the Board has prepared detailed profit and cashflowforecasts through to 31 December 2015 which incorporate the Group and its subsidiary undertakings as at31 December 2013.

The key assumptions in preparing the forecasts are as follows:

c Management have used their best efforts to predict revenues and gross margin from the core business for theforecast period based on existing customer relationships and expectations for developing new relationships inexisting markets.

c Revenue streams for new business lines have beenmodelled on a conservative basis with growth rates reflectingthe risk associated with new lines of business.

c The Group’s cost base is designed to support existing revenue streams and the development of new chipprogrammes together with their expected deliverable dates. This has been forecast based on existing coststogether with an estimate of forecast costs based on management’s experience. Management is currentlyconsidering a number of cost saving initiatives which would further reduce the forecast expenditure on researchand development, without limiting the quality of its product development.

The Board is satisfied that whilst there are risk factors associatedwith any set of forecasts, due care has been exercisedin preparing them. The Board notes that it continues tomonitor its product development strategy and that, if a decisionwas made to enhance the development expenditure or to accelerate the timing of planned development, additionalfunding may be required. The Board is confident that should further funding be required that the Group would beable to source this and that therefore it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis.

Directors’ and Officers’ liability InsuranceDuring the period the Company maintained insurance cover for Directors’ and Officers’ liability.

Basis of preparationThe Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands which do not prescribe the adoption of any particularaccounting framework. The Board has therefore adopted and complied with International Financial ReportingStandards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS). The Company’s shares are listed on the AIM market of theLondon Stock Exchange. The principal accounting policies of the Group are set out below.

Measurement basisThe consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by IFRS for eachtype of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accountingpolicies below.

Adoption of new accounting policiesNew standards and interpretations that are in issue but not yet effective have been considered but have no impacton the Group’s financial statements. The Group is compliant with revised IFRS 13 on fair measurement.

Going concernAt 31 December 2013 the Group had net assets of £59.1m and net current assets of £21.6m, including £21.5m ofcash. However, in order to meet their strategic ambitions the Board remains committed to on-going investment intothe development of its products. As such the Group anticipates being cashflow negative in the short term.

In order to assess the appropriateness of the going concern basis the Board has prepared detailed profit and cashflowforecasts through to 31 December 2015 which incorporate the Group and its subsidiary undertakings as at31 December 2013.

The key assumptions in preparing the forecasts are as follows:

Basis of consolidationThe Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn up tothe balance sheet date. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to control the financial andoperating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The Group obtains and exercises control throughvoting rights.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its subsidiaries are eliminated. Unrealised losses are alsoeliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Amounts reported inthe financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with theaccounting policies adopted by the Group.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition method involves therecognition at fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiary, at theacquisition date, regardless of whether or not they were recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiary priorto acquisition. The acquisition cost is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferredby the acquirer, the equity interests issued and excludes any transaction costs. The acquisition cost includes the fairvalue of any assets or liabilities arising from contingent consideration arrangement. On initial recognition, the assetsand liabilities of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values, which are also usedas the bases for subsequent measurement in accordancewith the Group accounting policies. Goodwill is stated afterseparating out identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value ofthe Group’s share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.

Where the Group’s interest in a subsidiary changes, but does not result in a change in control, that change is treatedas an equity transaction. Any difference between the carrying value of the non-controlling interest and the fair valueof the consideration is recognised directly in equity.

Where the consideration involves a contingent element, consideration is given as to whether this meets the definitionof equity as a financial liability.

Contingent consideration initially recognised as a financial liability in accordance with the Group’s policy issubsequently remeasured at fair value through profit or loss until settled. Contingent consideration initially recognisedas equity is not subsequently remeasured.

RevenueRevenue, excluding VAT, comprises revenue arising from development contracts and the sale of products.

Royalty revenue is generated by the licensing of the Group’s technologies to customers. Revenue is onlyrecognised when the Group has performed all of its obligations under the agreement and when the revenues canbe reliably measured.

Income from licences is recognised based on the substance of the licence arrangement. Where the Group has noon-going obligations under the licence agreement, the transaction is treated as a sale of goods and revenues arerecognised at the point at which the customer gains access to the licenced technology. Where the Group has anon-going obligation to fulfil, revenue will be recognised as those obligations are met and related invoices will beaccrued or deferred accordingly.

In some instances the Group will enter into multiple element arrangements. In such instances, the considerationreceived is allocated to each separately identifiable element, based on relative fair values.

Revenue, excluding VAT, in respect of the sale of goods is recognised at the point that goods are despatched to andaccepted by customers. It is at this point that the customer assumes ownership of the product and thereforesubstantially all risks and rewards of ownership are deemed to have transferred.

GoodwillGoodwill, representing the excess of the fair value of consideration over the fair value of the Group’s share of theidentifiable net assets acquired, is capitalised and reviewed annually for impairment. Goodwill is carried at cost lessaccumulated impairment losses. Any excess in the net fair value of an acquirer’s identifiable net assets over the costof acquisition is recognised immediately after acquisition in profit and loss.

TaxationCurrent income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relatingto the current or prior reporting period, that are unpaid at the balance sheet date. They are calculated accordingto the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable result forthe year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the totalcomprehensive loss.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. This involves the comparison ofthe carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements with their respective tax bases.However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an assetor liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax ontemporary differences associatedwith shares in subsidiaries is not provided if reversal of these temporary differencescan be controlled by the Group and it is probable the reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. In addition, taxlosses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the Group are assessed for recognition asdeferred tax assets.

Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probablethat they will be able to be offset against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated,without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they areenacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in profit and loss.Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to a change in value of assets or liabilities that is recognised inother comprehensive income are charged or credited in other comprehensive income, current and deferred tax thatrelates to items that are recognised in equity is recognised directly in equity.

Intangible assets

Intellectual property rights, licences and development expenditureThe costs of creating and protecting internally generated intellectual property, patents and know-how are written-offto the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred if they do notmeet all of the following criteria:

c the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it will be available for use or sale is probable;

c it is the intention of management to complete the asset and use or sell it;

c the Group has the ability to use or sell the asset;

c it is probable the asset will generate future economic benefit for the Group;

c adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete and use or sell the asset are available; and

c the Group has the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development.

The costs of acquiring rights to the use of third party intellectual property are capitalised and, subject to impairmentreviews, amortised over the estimated economic life of the intellectual property concerned. Amortisation is calculatedso as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value on a straight line basis over the useful economiclife of the asset as follows:

Intellectual property rights – 4 to 12 yearsLicence and development fees – over the life of the asset

Prepaid royalties and maintenance agreementsPrepaid royalties and maintenance agreements are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as theunderlying assets are utilised. In respect of royalties this is when the related goods are sold. For maintenanceagreements this is rateably over the life of the agreement.

Assets acquired as part of a business combinationAn intangible asset acquired in a business combination is deemed to have a cost to the Group of its fair value atthe acquisition date. The fair value of the intangible asset reflects market expectations about the probability thatthe future economic benefits embodied in the asset will flow to the Group. The fair value is then amortised overthe economic life of the asset. Where an intangible asset might be separable, but only together with a relatedtangible or intangible asset, the group of assets is recognised as a single asset separately from goodwill where theindividual fair values of the assets in the Group are not reliably measurable. Where the individual fair value of thecomplementary assets is reliably measurable, the Group recognises them as a single asset provided the individualassets have similar useful lives.

Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant andequipment and other investmentsFor the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separatelyidentifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment andsome are tested at cash-generating unit level. Group management have determined that cash-generating units, towhich goodwill can be allocated, are equivalent to its operating segments. Goodwill is allocated to thosecash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the related business combination andrepresent the lowest level within the Group at which management monitor goodwill.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested forimpairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the amount by which the asset orcash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher offair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use based on an internal discounted cash flowevaluation. Impairment losses recognised are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remainingimpairment loss is charged pro-rata to the other assets in the cash generating unit. With the exception of goodwill,all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longerexist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine theassets’ recoverable amount and only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carryingamount that would have been determined, net of amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Financial assetsThe Group’s financial assets include cash and trade and other receivables, which are classified as loansand receivables.

All financial assets are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Allfinancial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus transaction costs and subsequently are amortised in line withthe Group’s policy as disclosed on page 23.

Trade and other receivables are provided against when objective evidence is received that the Group will not beable to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivable. The amount of thewrite-down is determined as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimatedfuture cash flows.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cashflows from the financial assets expire, orwhen the financial asset and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards have transferred.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and bank demand deposits, together with other short-term highlyliquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificantrisk of changes in value with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

EquityThe share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

The share premium account represents premiums received on the initial issuing of the share capital. Any transactioncosts associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.

The share based payment reserve represents the cumulative amount which has been expensed in the ConsolidatedStatement of Comprehensive Income in connection with equity settled share based payments, less any amountstransferred to the profit and loss account on the exercise of share options.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period results as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement ofComprehensive Income.

Where, as part of a business combination, the Group enters into an agreement which includes a contingent elementthat is classified as equity, these amounts are fair valued at the date of the acquisition and held in a separate equityreserve. These amounts are not subsequently remeasured but are transferred to share capital and share premium onsettlement of the contingent consideration.

The foreign exchange reserve represents the unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses in the Group’soverseas subsidiaries.

Share based paymentsAll share based payment arrangements, including the newly set up JSOP scheme are recognised in the financialstatements. TheGroup operates equity-settled share based remuneration plans as an integral part of its remunerationof its employees.

All services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based remuneration are measured at their fair values.These are indirectly determined by reference to the fair value of the share options awarded. Their fair value isappraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitabilityand sales growth targets).

Share based payments are ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the Consolidated Statement ofComprehensive Income with a corresponding credit to the share based payment reserve, net of deferred tax whereapplicable. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period,based on the best available estimate of the number of share options that are expected to vest. Non-market vestingconditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable.Estimates are subsequently revised, if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differsfrom previous estimates. No adjustment is made to the expense or share issue cost recognised after vesting if fewershare options ultimately are exercised than vested.

Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to thenominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded as share premium.

Financial liabilitiesTheGroup’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or otherfinancial assets and are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of direct issue costs, and are subsequently recorded atamortised cost using the effective interest method with interest related charges recognised as an expense inconsolidated statement of comprehensive income.

A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Where the Group enters into a contractual arrangement which may be settled either through the issue of equity ora cash payment, consideration is given as to whether the arrangement should be classified as equity or as a liability.Such arrangements are treated as equity if and only if the following criteria are met:

c the Group has the ability to avoid settling the obligation in cash;

c the Group can settle the obligation by issuing a fixed number of shares.

Where both criteria are not met the obligation is treated as a financial liability and initially recognised at fair value.Subsequent changes in the fair value are recognised in total comprehensive income for that period. Where theeffects of discounting the payments are material, this is taken into consideration in the initial measurement. Thesubsequent unwinding of this discount is treated as a finance expense in total comprehensive income over the termof the obligation.

Property, plant and equipmenti Measurement bases

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Thecost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to theworking condition and location for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant andequipment is added to the carrying amount of the assets only when it is probable that future economic benefitsassociated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All othercosts, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Incomeduring the period in which they are incurred.

When assets are sold, any gain or loss resulting from their disposal, being the difference between the netdisposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets, is included in the consolidated statement ofcomprehensive income account.

ii DepreciationDepreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment, less its estimated residualvalue, which is revised annually, over its useful economic life as follows:

Leasehold improvements – 33.3% straight lineOffice equipment – 20-33.3% straight lineFixtures and fittings – 20-25% straight lineComputer equipment – 20-33.3% straight line

InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all costs incurred in bringingeach product to its present location and condition, which comprises the cost of direct materials and third partycharges. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicableselling expenses.

Retirement benefit schemeThe Group operates a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separatelyfrom those of the Group in independently administered funds. Entrants into this scheme are entitled to have apercentage of their basic salary paid into the scheme by the Group. These contributions are charged to ConsolidatedStatement of Comprehensive Income as an employee benefit expense in respect of the accounting period in whichthey become payable.

Foreign currenciesThe consolidated financial statements are presented in UK Sterling, which is also the functional currency of the parentcompany. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Group entity,using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains andlosses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-endexchange rates are recognised in profit or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Non-monetary itemsmeasured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction(not retranslated). In the Group’s financial statements, all assets, liabilities and transactions of Group entities with afunctional currency other thanUK Sterling are translated into UK Sterling upon consolidation. The functional currencyof the entities in the Group has remained unchanged during the reporting period.

On consolidation, assets and liabilities have been translated into UK Sterling at the closing rate at the reporting date.Income and expenses have been translated into the Group’s presentation currency at the average rate over thereporting period which is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of the actual rate. Exchange differences arecharged/credited to other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve in equity.Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated as assets andliabilities of the foreign entity and translated into UK Sterling at the closing rate.

Segmental reportingIn identifying its operating segments, Groupmanagement follows the Group reporting structure which represents thedevelopment and exploitation of its products and the overall control of operations. The Group currently reports threesegments.

Sensium Healthcare(Formerly Toumaz Healthcare) – Sensium Healthcare Limited is targeting the Healthcare market.

Digital Radio/Connected AudioThis division includes Frontier Microsystems Limited (Formerly Toumaz Microsystems Limited) and Frontier SiliconGroup. Frontier Microsystems was established to design, develop and sell wireless semiconductor chips andembedded solutions for the growing area of internet and cloud-connected applications. Frontier is tasked with theexploitation of the Group’s activities in the wireless connectivity market. The main focus of Frontier Silicon Group isthe development, manufacture and sale of digital radio and internet radio technologies.

Group costsToumaz Limited’s responsibilities are the overall management of the portfolio companies providing finance, Groupstrategy and corporate governance guidance.

Each of the segments is managed separately requiring different management, resources andmarketing approaches.

The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in itsmanagement reporting.

Critical accounting estimates and judgementsEstimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptionsThe Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will,by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significantrisk of causing amaterial adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accountingyear are discussed below:

Business combinationsOn initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are included in the consolidatedstatement of financial position at their fair values. In particular, the fair value of contingent consideration isdependent on the outcome of certain future results. In measuring fair value, management uses estimates aboutfuture cash flows and discount rates, however, the actual results may vary. Any measurement changes frominitial recognition would affect the measurement of goodwill. Goodwill calculated on business combinations isshown in note 6.

In addition, judgement is also required in order to determine whether contingent consideration meets thedefinition of a financial liability or equity. In the current year management have considered the terms associatedwith the various tranches of contingent consideration which may be payable as a result of the acquisition ofFrontier. Based on this assignment, management have split the consideration between equity and financialliabilities as can be seen in note 6.

Impairment of non-financial assetsTheGroup conducts annual impairment reviews of assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate thattheir carrying amounts may not be recoverable, or in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. Animpairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset is higher than the greater of its net sellingprice or the value in use. In determining the value in use, management assesses the present value of theestimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at theend of its useful life. Estimates and judgments are applied in determining these future cash flows and thediscount rate. These assumptions relate to future events and circumstances. The actual results may vary, andmay cause adjustments to the Group’s assets in future financial years. Details of the estimates and assumptionsmade in respect of the potential impairment of intellectual property, goodwill on consolidation, interests in jointventure and interests in associate are detailed in notes 6 and 7 to the financial statements.

The Directors considered the applicability of the discount rate of 18% for the Healthcare & Frontier divisions,and no impairment was necessary.

Valuations of share options grantedThe fair value of share options granted is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricingmodel, which requiresthe input of subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share price.

Details of the inputs are set out in note 20 to the financial statements.

Internally generated software and research costsManagement monitors progress of internal research and development projects by using a project managementsystem. Significant judgement is required in distinguishing research from the development phase. Developmentcosts are recognised as an asset when all the criteria of IAS 38 are met, whereas research costs are expensedas incurred.

Deferred tax assetsThe assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilised is basedon the Group’s latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income andexpenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. The tax rules in the numerousjurisdictions in which the Group operates are also carefully taken into consideration. If a positive forecast oftaxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilised without atime limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that aresubject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually bymanagement based on thespecific facts and circumstances.

The Group has tax losses in the UK of approximately £41.0 million (2012: £39.5 million) available for offsetagainst future operating profits. TheGroup has not recognised any further deferred tax asset in respect of theseor any other of the Group’s losses. The losses are still to be agreed with the UK tax authorities. It is anticipatedthat the losseswill be available for offset against future profits. However, there is uncertainty over the foreseeablefuture and therefore a deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of these additional losses.

A deferred tax liability arises on the intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of the group headedby Frontier Silicon (Holdings) Limited of approximately £3.9m. At that time the group headed by Frontier Silicon(Holdings) Limited had accumulated trading losses which would have resulted in a deferred tax asset in excessof these amounts. Given that these amounts would be expected to be settled at the same time as the liability,an asset in respect of these losses has been recognised to an equal value of the potential liability. Given theGroup has a right and the ability to settle these amounts at the same time, the asset and liability have beenoffset in these financial statements.

5 Loss per shareThe calculation of the basic loss per share of 0.88p (2012: 2.19p) is based on the loss after tax of £10.8m (2012:£20.3m) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year of 1,225,760,858(2012: 927,984,462).

Due to the losses incurred the impact of the share options and other deferred shares is anti-dilutive. As suchthe diluted earnings per share equals the ordinary earnings per share.

Goodwill relating to Sensium Healthcare results from the acquisition of Sensium Healthcare Limited on3November 2005. Goodwill relating to Frontier Silicon results from the acquisition of the Frontier Silicon Groupon 20 August 2012.

There is considerable cross over and exchange of knowledge, intellectual property and the application and useof products between the cash generating units. The expertise and know-how of the Group as a whole providesa platform for all of its products. The customer access, supply chain and technical knowhow acquired withFrontier will be used across the Group.

All principal operating divisions incurred losses in the year ended 31 December 2013, which is an indicator ofimpairment. The Directors have tested the aggregate recoverable value of goodwill, specific intellectualproperty, and licence & development fees for impairment in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy oftesting annually for impairment. Recoverable value is assessed by value in use. The Directors, in assessing therecoverability of the remaining amount have considered the technical feasibility of the technology and theopportunities for commercial exploitation, including the position with the current commercial relationships.

6 Goodwill (continued)To determine the value in use, the Directors have produced detailed monthly profit and loss and cash flowforecasts for the four years ended December 2017 and annual profit and loss forecasts for the years toDecember 2021. An eight year forecast period is considered reasonable for the markets that the Companyaddresses, particularly given the stage of development of the Group’s products and the expected life of newtechnologies as explained further below.

The Chief Executive’s Statement on pages 4 to 8 provides a summary of the Group’s expectations for eachdivision, together with an overview of the relevant markets. Below we have summarised the key judgementsin relation to the individual impairment reviews.

Sensium HealthcareThe above average growth rates of revenue for Sensium Healthcare used in the projections are based on theDirectors’ considered estimates in a developingmarket and include significant estimates of both the volume andindividual value of sales. The introduction of new and untested “disruptive technology” into the market placeexposes the Group to the risk that costly developments will take longer than planned or not achieve the forecastfinancial returns. Should these estimates not be achieved there is a risk these assets will be impaired.

Consistent with 2012, a discount rate of 15% has been applied to the aggregate results of the forecast. TheDirectors considered the applicability of a discount rate of 18% and are satisfied that even if that rate were tobe applied, the carrying value of the Healthcare goodwill is justified.

The key assumptions with regard to the revenues and profitability of the cash generating units used in testingthe aggregate recoverable value of goodwill, specific intellectual property, and licence & development fees forimpairment are as follows:

c The life cycle of any product introduced into the Healthcare market will be in the order of 3 to 10 yearswhilst it is first being tested, then gaining adoption and finally being fully rolled out. Revenues wererecorded in 2013 and are expected to increase over the remainder of the planning horizon based onexpectations of sales volumes and price.

c The forecast model is built on the Directors’ best estimates of addressable market and the Company’sresultant share of that market. In determining these estimates the company commissioned independentthird party research which provided insight into the global hospital environment, potential competitivethreats and the expected growth in the market over the expected life cycle of the company’s products.Across a number of third party studies the markets that SensiumVitals® will address are expected to growby a factor of 3-5times over the next 3 years.

c Further products, based on the SensiumVitals® system and related technology, are forecast.

Digital Radio and Connected Audio – Frontier SiliconThe intangible assets of Frontier Silicon were independently valued in the prior year as part of the acquisitionaccounting. The difference between the fair value of the net assets and the fair value of the consideration hasbeen treated as goodwill.

Whilst Frontier has continued to make losses post acquisition this is in line with the forecasts at the time of theacquisition and therefore the directors consider the Goodwill arising on consolidation as still valid and noimpairment has occurred since acquisition.

The Directors have reviewed the carrying value of these assets in light of their forecasts of revenues andprofitability for this business sector. As with the healthcare division, a discount rate of 15%was applied to futurecash flows with a rate of 18% used as a stress test. Under both scenarios, the carrying value of the intangibleassets could be supported.

6 Goodwill (continued)In assessing the future cash flows of the division, the Directors have looked at a 6-8 year forward view. This isbased on the life cycle of the connected audio and digital radio products, where existing models are reachingend of life, and new models have 12 to 24 months development ahead of them before a useful sales life of5-6 years depending on future product enhancements. The Directors expect the market for digital radio tokeep expanding at its current rate and for the company to maintain its market share and for the connectedaudio market to expand significantly as the “Internet of Things” really takes hold.

The key judgements applied by the directors in the forecasts are in relation to sales price and volumes. Theforecast model is built on the Directors’ best estimates of the addressable market and the Company’s resultantshare of that market. In determining these estimates the directors have considered information and trends fromexisting markets and their expectations for emergingmarkets in order to develop an assessment of both futuresales volumes and prices. Should these estimates not be achieved there is a risk these assets will be impaired.

7 Other intangible assets (continued)

Intellectual propertyIntellectual property at 1 January 2013 relates to the valuation of beneficial licence agreements, trade names andcustomer relationships in Sensium Healthcare and Frontier Silicon at the date of their original acquisition.

Licence & development feesAt 1 January 2012 licence and development fees related to an agreement, dated 14May 2009, with ImaginationTechnologies Group plc to licence a next generation communication and digital radio multimedia IP platform.The consideration for the licence deal consisted of a number of payments scheduled over the duration of theGroup’s development projects. The remaining life of this asset is five years. The additions in the year relate totechnology on new projects essential to the future development of the new generation digital chips. Thelicences will be amortised in accordance with the Group accounting policy and will be subject to an annualimpairment review.

MarketingMarketing-related intangible assets are defined as those assets that are primarily used in the marketing orpromotion of products and services. The Frontier solutions are well known and preferred by a majority of theconsumer electronic brands who specifically instruct their manufacturers to use Frontier modules and solutionsin their audio systems.

Customer relationshipsCustomer-related intangible assets may consist of customer lists, order or production backlogs, customercontracts and relationships, and non-contractual customer relationships. Frontier has developed relationshipswith both consumer electronic brands and manufacturers. The customer relationship valuation captures theeconomic benefits of having these trading relationships.

Impairment reviewsThe Directors have tested all intangible assets for impairment in conjunction with their testing for goodwill, inaccordance with the Group’s accounting policy.
