1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Houzz UK Ltd. 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.

The company’s functional and presentational currency is pounds sterling (£) and the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound (£).

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.

Going Concern
These financial statements have been drawn up on the going concern basis. The company is dependent upon the support of its parent company, and only customer, in order to meet its working capital requirements. The parent company has provided assurances that this support will continue for a period that exceeds twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. No adjustments have been made in these accounts which might result from that uncertainty.

Turnover
Turnover represents costs for the year plus profit recharged to the parent company, plus sublease income, excluding value added tax.

The company's turnover is derived from outside the UK with the exception of the sublease income which is derived from within the UK.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration costs and borrowing costs capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates on a straight-line basis in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer Equipment - 33% on cost
Furniture and Fixtures - 20% on cost
Leasehold improvements - Over the term of the lease

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

Repairs, maintenance and minor inspection costs are expensed as incurred.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price.

Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at transaction price.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
