| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Accident Repair Centre (Scotland) Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of goods; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate or if there is an indication of significant change since the last reporting date. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price. Cost includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. |
| When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amounts of any write downs to stock to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write down or loss occurs. |

| Taxation |
| The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. |
| The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
| Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount for deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recoverd. |
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or asset realised, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
| Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets held under finance lease and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. |
| Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. |
| In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expenses on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. |

| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. |
| Debtors |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Creditors |
| Basic financial instruments, including preference shares that are classified as debt, are measured at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
