Judgemonts and key sources of estimation unGertalnty The preparation of the financial statements requires management to makejudgernents, estimatss and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the statement of financial position date and the amounts reported for revenu88 and expenses during the year.

Due to the nature of St Michael's Housing Trust and its operation5. the estimation of uncertainty included in the accounts is low. Tumovor Turnover repre88nts rent and service charges income generated by supported housing bed spaces. Service charge income is recognlsed on an accrual basis. Oporatlng costs Operating costs represent service charge expenditure and propety maintenance costs. The managed agent operates a variable service charge in fijll consultation with residents. The charges will include an allowance for the surplus or deficit from prlor years, with the surplus being retumed to residents by a reduced charge and a deficit being recovered by a higher charge. Until these are returned or recovered, they are held as a creditor or debtor in the Statement of financial position. Flxed assots and depreciation Tangible fixed assets are stated at ¢05t less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The cost of housing land and properties comprises purchase price together with incidental Gosts of acquisition and improvements, including related administration charges. Interest is capitalised during construction of the propety up to the date of practical completion. by reference to the trust's cost of borrowings. Housing properties are managed under the terms of the Tenant's Guarantee. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life of the asset of 100 years to their residual value.
