1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Hunter Building Services Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's

registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Going concern

The company has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The Directors have a reasonable

expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable

future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accountancy appropriate in preparing the annual

financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates

The Directors have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported within the

financial statements during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying

assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The Directors' estimates, assumptions and judgements that have

a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the

financial statements are addressed and detail is provided in the associated notes.

Turnover

Turnover represents net management fees received from subsidiary companies, excluding value added tax, and

recognised when the company becomes entitled to the income.

Intangible assets

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business, has been fully amortised in

previous years.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Land and buildings

-

2% on cost

Plant and machinery etc

-

10% on cost

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less

impairment.

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in

fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial instruments

The company has no complex financial instruments but does hold basic financial instruments of; cash at bank,

debtors, creditors, and fixed asset investments of non-puttable listed ordinary shares and debentures.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, foreign currency on hand, demand deposits with

banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank

overdrafts. A bank overdraft would be shown within current liabilities.

Debtors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method, less losses for bad debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such

cases, trade and other debtors are stated at cost less losses for bad debts.

Creditors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest rate unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, trade and other creditors are

stated at cost.

Non-puttable listed ordinary shares are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently valued at fair

value with any changes in fair value being recognised in the profit and loss account.

Debentures held are initially recognised at transaction value, and subsequently valued at amortised cost using the

effective interest method.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit & Loss Account, except

to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance

sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from

those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that

have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the

timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they

will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the

balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at

the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension

scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Employee benefits

The total cost of employee benefits to which employees have become entitled as a result of service rendered to

the entity during the reporting period are recognised and charged to the profit and loss account in the period to

which they relate.

Provision for liabilities

A provision is initially recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as the result of a past

event, it is probable that there will be the transfer of funds in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be

estimated reliably. The provision is subsequently measured by placing a charge against the provision only for

expenditure for which the provision was originally recognised.
