1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Burnbrae Distillery Company Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The company's

registered number is SC504514 and registered office address is 3 Peel Park Place, College Milton Industrial

Estate (South), East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, G74 5LW.

The company is in advanced construction stages and anticipates commencement to trade during the next financial

year.

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.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company. Monetary

amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company

has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future The net liabilities figure of

£599,555 is due to Loans from participating interests which are not due for repayment until after 2022, by which

point it is expected that the distillery will be fully operational and trading. Thus the directors continue to adopt

the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements:

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where

appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending

on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life

cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as

future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.

Assets are considered for indications of impairment. If required an impairment review will be carried out and a

decision made on possible impairment. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the

economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger

cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.

Bad debts are provided for where objective evidence of the need for a provision exists.

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 or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Improvements to property

-

4% on cost

Plant and machinery

-

at varying rates on cost

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.

Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 '

Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are

recognised in the Company's balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the

instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements,

when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a

net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction

price including transactions costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest

method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the

present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as

receivable within one year are not amortised.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are

settled, or when the Company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the

asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual

arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of

the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement

constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future

payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not

amortised.

Research and development

Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially

feasible and the Company intends to and has the technical ability and sufficient resources to complete

development, future economic benefits are probable and if the Company can measure reliably the expenditure

attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Development activities improve a plan or design for

the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. The expenditure capitalised includes the

cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads and capitalised borrowing costs.

Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Capitalised

development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and less accumulated impairment losses

Leases

Assets held under finance leases, hire purchase contracts and other similar arrangements, which confer rights and

obligations similar to those attached to owned assets, are capitalised as tangible fixed assets at the fair value of

the leased asset (or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments as determined at the inception of

the lease) and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their useful lives. The capital elements of

future lease obligations are recorded as liabilities, while the interest elements are charged to the profit and loss

account over the period of the leases to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of

the liability.

Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are

not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly

spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks

and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Impairment of assets

Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet

date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss as described

below.

Non-financial assets

An asset is impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after

initial recognition, the estimated recoverable value of the asset has been reduced. The recoverable amount of an

asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine

reversal. An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired asset to the extent that the revised recoverable

value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been

recognised.

Financial assets

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of impairment is the difference between the asset's

carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original

effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is the difference between the asset's

carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that would be received for the asset if it were to be sold at

the reporting date.

Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event

occurring after the impairment was recognised, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine reversal.

An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired financial asset to the extent that the revised recoverable

value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been

recognised.
