Notes to the
Financial Statements
Non Software Development Costs
Cost incurred on development of projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as assets when the following criteria have been fulfilled:
- it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
- management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
- there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
- it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefit;
- adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset are available; and
- the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.
There are no restrictions over the title of the University's intangible assets, nor are any intangible assets pledged as security for liabilities.
