NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
HFD Avondale House Limited (Company number: SC412799) is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 177 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, G2 7ER.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
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 (see note 3).
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the presentational and functional currency of the Company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis following an assessment by the directors'. The assessment included consideration of the company's ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements. The directors concluded a fundamental aspect of their assessment being the occupancy levels of Avondale House which have been forecasted to increase over the next 12 months and therefore the company is able to meet bank facility and other financial obligations as they fall due.
The company has received a letter of support from HFD Group Limited confirming that they and other related group companies won't recall any balances within 12 months and will also provide funds if required.
Revenue 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. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they are incurred.
|
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Assets under construction are not depreciated until the asset is available for use and then reallocated to the appropriate category.
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 Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by external valuers and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value relating to surplus/deficit are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Provisions for liabilities
|
Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
Deferred tax liabilities are also presented within provisions but are measured in accordance with the accounting policy on taxation.
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
|
|
Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
Valuation of investment properties
An independent valuation of land and buildings was undertaken in October 2025 by a RICS regulated practice on a market value basis. The valuation conformed to International Valuation Standards and was based on recent market data transactions performed on arm's length terms as at October 2025.
The valuation report has been used by management to inform the measurement of the valuation of investment properties in these financial statements as at 30 June 2025.

The bank loan is secured by a bond and floating charge over the assets and undertakings of the company and a first ranking standard security over the company's heritable properties.
The loan is repayable by payments of £131,150 each, on each quarterly repayment date, followed by a final payment of all sums outstanding on the Termination date in December 2029. Interest is accrued at a rate of 2.35% over SONIA.
During the year the Company received an interest-free loan of £1,300,000 from a parent undertaking. The loan is unsecured and repayable in Decemeber 2029.
The loan has been recognised initially at its fair value, determined by discounting the future repayment amount using the Bank of England base rate + 1.75%. This resulted in an initial carrying value of £975,847.
The difference of £324,153 between the cash received and the fair value of the loan has been recognised as a capital contribution and credited to the Capital Contribution Reserve.

In December 2024, HFD Avondale House Limited reduced its share capital to £1 through a capital reduction. This strategic move was part of a broader effort to streamline the company's capital structure and release equity to shareholders. The reduction in share capital did not affect the ownership structure or the operational capabilities of the company.

Related party transactions
|
|
|
During the year, the company entered into transactions with related parties in the normal course of business. These transactions included:
Sales to related parties: £95,211 (2024: £123,083)
Purchases from related parties: £526,976 (2024: £652,953)
Interest receivable from related parties: £72,146 (2024: £67,716)
Amounts receivable from related parties at year-end: £853,400 (2024: £6,226)
Amounts payable to related parties at year-end < 1 year: £2,484,376 (2024: £612,505)
Amounts payable to related parties at year-end > 1 year: £975,847 (2024: £Nil)
Transactions with related parties were conducted on an arm’s length basis where applicable. However, the interest-free loan received from a related party during the year was not provided on normal commercial terms, as an equivalent third-party loan would typically bear interest. In accordance with FRS 102, the loan has been initially recognised at fair value, with the difference between the amount advanced and its discounted value recognised as a capital contribution within equity.
No guarantees were given or received in respect of related party balances, and no provisions have been made for doubtful debts in respect of amounts owed by related parties.
