1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Blue Hop 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.

| Revenue recognition

| Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT.

| Revenue from the rendering of public house services and the provision of accommodation is recognised on the day the service is provided.

| Goodwill

| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2003, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of twenty years.

| Intangible assets

| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Improvements to property | - | 2% on cost

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 10% on reducing balance

| Stock

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. The cost of inventories includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

| Financial instruments

| Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

| Trade debtors and creditors are classed as basic financial instruments and are initially measured at transaction price.

| Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand at bank and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

| Loans and borrowings are classified as basic financial instruments and are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument, unless exempt from such treatment.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| 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

| 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.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
