| Hollybrook Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The company has reported a net loss of £1.5m for the year. |
| The company relies on the support of its ultimate parent undertaking to be able to meet some of its costs. |
| At the Balance Sheet date the company's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £4,25m The company's main financier is its parent undertaking which was owed £3.1m at the Balance Sheet date. The board of the company's parent have provided written assurance of an intention to continue to support the company for the foreseeable future. |
| The company's directors consider that, with the continued support of its parent undertaking, the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.The directors however acknowledge that there can be no certainty concerning continuing support from its parent undertaking although at the date of approval of these financial statements they have no reason to believe that a change in the stated intention of continued support will occur. |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |

| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of these financial statements requires the directors to note judgements and estimates that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported profits for the financial year. |
| (i) Contract income and profit - the valuation of percentage completion of contracts involves an estimation of the costs to complete and remaining revenues which may differ from the actual costs incurred and total revenues received on completion. Judgement is required to assess whether the total eventual profit on each contract can be foreseen with reasonable certainty. |
| (ii) Provisions - the cost of additional works that may be incurred on completed projects in the ordinary course of business is based on the Directors' best estimate. Assumptions are made in arriving at these estimates. The company's historical experience and site-sepcific risks are some of the factors that the Directors take into account. Provisions are continually reviewed and adjusted by reference to the passage of time and the availability of more information. |
| (iii) Impairment of Debtors - the provision policy for impairment of amounts owing to the company, including financial instrument assets, is based on an ongoing evaluation of the collectability, aged analysis of the various amounts and the Directors' judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these balances. |
| Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on a number of factors including historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
| Turnover |
| Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be measured reliably. |
| Turnover relates to contract income; proceeds from the sale of properties and; related activities during the period. Contract Turnover is calculated by reference to the value of work performed to date as a proportion of the total contract value. This is usually based on independent professional surveys of work performed. Provision is made for the full amount of foreseeable losses on contracts. Turnover in respect of the sale of properties is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable on legal completion. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Furniture, fixtures & fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the directors. |
| The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit and loss. |

| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year relates to current tax which is recognised in the Income Statement. Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| 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 contributions workplace pension scheme for the benefit of its qualifying employees.The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Contributions payable in any one year are accounted for as they fall due. |
| Management fees |
| Management fees in relation to consulting services provided to related entities operating in the property development sector, calculated by reference to time spent by the company's employees on relevant projects, are recognised as revenue, as earned, within the income statement. |
| Financial instruments |
| The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like amounts recoverable on contracts, other debtors, trade and other creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties. |
| Debt instruments, other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year, including loans and other amounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Debt instruments which are payable or receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash consideration expected to be paid or received. |

| Borrowing costs |
| Borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income as they are incurred. |
| Borrowing costs directly relating to the acquisition and development of own sites are capitalised. Capitalisation commences from the date of initial expenditure until the properties are ready for sale. The capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended where there are prolonged periods when development activity on a site is interrupted. |
| Operating leases |
| Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the income statement as incurred.. |
| Provisions |
| Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as result of a past event and it is probable that the company would be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the Directors' best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances in hand and at bank including deposits and other short-term liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. |

| Other provisions are the Directors' best estimate of additional costs that may be incurred in the ordinary course of business on completed projects. These provisions are made based on the company's historical experience and also take account of site-specific risks. Actual costs may be different An over- or understatement in these provisions would lead to consequential changes in cost of sales, gross and net loss reported for the year. |
| The timing of the outflow of resources to which these provisions relate is uncertain but it is anticipated that such an outflow will commence from a date beyond twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. |
| The amount of the provisions which is recoverable from third parties by the company is included within Debtors. |

| 9. | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
| Provisions are recognised when an outflow of economic benefits for settlement is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Based upon legal and expert advice, provisions have been made where notices have been received in connection with fire safety defects on historical projects. |
| Although a review of historical projects has been undertaken and the expectation is that the prospect of receiving further notices will diminish over time, the possibility of further notices cannot be entirely ruled out. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, it is not possible to provide a meaningful estimate of the financial effect of any further notices as this will be largely driven by site-specific circumstances in each case. |
| Furthermore, if further notices are received which eventually lead to an outflow of resources, such outflow is highly unlikely to occur within twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements due to the length of time required to receive and consider relevant technical advice and the fact that any works found to be necessary are typically carried out and paid for over a period of time. |
| 10. | RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES |
| Transactions during the year with entities directly controlled by the company's Directors included Other Income of £467,296 of which £382,332 was accrued at the Balance Sheet date and; fees payable of £166,306. |
