We have applied a spotted model due to the light curves asymmetry. The system shows a distinct O’Connell effect.

Such presence of star spot(s) is common among the RS CVn and W UMa chromospheric active late type stars.We also present an analysis of mid–eclipse time measurements of IK Boo. The analysis indicates a period decrease rate dP/dt = −1.68 × 10−7d/yr, which can be interpreted in terms of mass transfer of rate 3.1 × 10−7M⊙/yr, from the more massive to the less massive component.
