1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Hire or Buy Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. 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 the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities"
of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention.

The principal accounting policies adopted in these financial statements have remained unchanged from the
previous year, and have therefore been consistently applied.

Consolidation
The company ia a parent company subject to the small companies regime. The company and its subsidiaries
comprise a small group. The company is therefore not required to and has not chosen to prepare group accounts.

Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates,
value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Company and
the revenue can be reliably measured. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Supply of goods
Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered and supplied.

Hire of machinery
Revenue is recognised for the period which the hire relates to.

Service of machinery
Revenue is recognised at point of the service being completed.

Repair of machinery
Revenue is recognised at the completion of the repair.

less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. Repairs and maintenance of assets are charged to the income statement during the period in which they
are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost or valuation of assets less their residual value, over their
estimated useful lives on the following basis:

Plant and machinery - at variable rates on reducing balance.
Computers - 33.3% on cost.
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance.
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if
appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are
recognised in the income statement.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow
moving items.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
statement of financial position 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated over their useful
lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The
interest element of the agreement is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the agreement.

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.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 31 (2018 - 30 ) .
