1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Harlaw Acquisitions 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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the company will continue trading for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of this report.

The directors acknowledge the negative balance sheet position and have given assurance that they will continue to support the company in order for it to meet it's obligations as they fall due by making funds available and not calling on the director's loan accounts for repayment until the company is in such a position to be able to make repayments.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is included in the profit and loss account.

Investment property
Investment property is included at fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the income statement. Deferred taxation is provided on these adjustments at the rate expected to apply when the properties are sold.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets which include trade & other debtors, cash and bank balances are measured at transaction price including transaction costs.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire or are settled or when the company transfers significant risk and reward of ownership to another entity.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities which include trade and other creditors are recognised at transaction price including transaction cost.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations are discharged.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.
