G E Roest - Director

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Reco Equipment 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.

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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain

critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the

Company's accounting policies.

Significant judgements and estimates

In preparing these financial statements, the Director has had to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historic experiences and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The judgements, estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are:

- Tangible fixed assets (see note 6)

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 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.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Turnover is recognised for the provision of services when the entity has fulfilled its obligations under contract. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost

Transport equipment - 11% on cost

Second hand hire equipment - 20% on cost

New hire equipment - 10% to 20% on cost

Leasehold improvements - 10% on cost

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.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets comprise cash at bank and in hand and amounts owed by group undertakings;

these are initially recorded at cost on the date they originate and are subsequently recorded at

amortised cost under the effective interest method. The Company considers evidence of impairment for all individual trade and other debtors and amounts owed by group undertakings, and any subsequent impairment is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost

Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulties of the counterparty, default or significant delays in payment.

Impairment provisions represent the difference between the net carrying amount of a financial asset

and the present value of the expected future cash receipts from that asset.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities comprise other creditors and amounts owed to group undertakings; these are

initially recorded at cost on the date they originate, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost

under the effective interest method.

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 balance sheet date.

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.

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt

using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying

amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The deferred tax liability relates to temporary timing differences during the year, offset against taxable losses carried forward.

The deferred tax balance has been measured at 25%, which was the rate enacted in the year and is the rate at which the liability is expected to unwind.

The balance is expected to reverse in full in future periods as a result of the utilisation of losses

brought forward against taxable profits and the unwinding of the timings differences.
