NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2017 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Aberdeen Mortgage Company Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The |
company's registered number is SC496302 and its registered office address is 1st Floor 207 Bath Street Glasgow |
G2 4HZ. |
The nature of the company's operations and its principal activity for the year under review are set out in the |
Director's Report on page 2. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company. Monetary |
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
Going concern |
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company |
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors |
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements: |
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 technological innovation, 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. |
Assets are considered for indications of impairment. If required an impairment review will be carried out and a |
decision made on possible impairment. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the |
economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger |
cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit. |
Bad debts are provided for where objective evidence of the need for a provision exists. |
Inventories are assessed for evidence of obsolescence and a provision is made against any inventory unlikely to |
be sold, or where stock is sold post year end at a loss. |
Turnover |
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. Consideration is given to the point at which the Company is entitled to |
receive the income, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria |
must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided when all of |
the following conditions are satisfied: |
- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due; |
- the costs incurred can be measured reliably. |

Financial instruments |
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 ' |
Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its 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 assets |
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction |
price including transactions costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest |
method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the |
present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as |
receivable within one year are not amortised. |
Derecognition of financial assets |
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are |
settled, or when the Company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of |
ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the |
asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual |
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of |
the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement |
constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future |
payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not |
amortised. |
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. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks |
and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |

Impairment of assets |
Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet |
date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss as described |
below. |
Non-financial assets |
An asset is impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after |
initial recognition, the estimated recoverable value of the asset has been reduced. The recoverable amount of an |
asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. |
Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine |
reversal. An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired asset to the extent that the revised recoverable |
value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been |
recognised. |
Financial assets |
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of impairment is the difference between the asset's |
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original |
effective interest rate. |
For financial assets carried at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is the difference between the asset's |
carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that would be received for the asset if it were to be sold at |
the reporting date. |
Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event |
occurring after the impairment was recognised, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine reversal. |
An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired financial asset to the extent that the revised recoverable |
value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been |
recognised. |
