The members of the limited liability partnership have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.
Londonewcastle (QP2) LLP is a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 55 Loudoun Road, St John's Wood, London, NW8 0DL.
The limited liability partnership's principal activities are disclosed in the Members' Report.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships" issued in December 2018, together with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. 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 financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the limited liability partnership. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The members have received confirmation from the limited liability partnership's principal funder that they will continue to support the limited liability partnership to enable it to meet its day to day commitments for the foreseeable future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the withdrawal of this support and the members are of the opinion that the going concern basis is therefore appropriate to the preparation of the financial statements
Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the members' agreement (for example, in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed remuneration and profits).
Members' participation rights in the earnings or assets of the LLP are analysed between those that are, from the LLP's perspective, either a financial liability or equity, in accordance with section 22 of FRS 102. A member's participation rights including amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classed as liabilities unless the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment to members, in which case they are classified as equity.
All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented within 'Loans and other debts due to members' and, where such an amount relates to current year profits, they are recognised within ‘Members' remuneration charged as an expense’ in arriving at the relevant year’s result. Undivided amounts that are classified as equity are shown within ‘Members' other interests’. Amounts recoverable from members are presented as debtors and shown as amounts due from members within members’ interests.
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.
In the application of the limited liability partnership’s accounting policies, the members 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.
In the event of a winding up the amounts included in "Loans and other debts due to members" will rank equally with unsecured creditors.
As at the date of signing of these financial statements, the UK government has enacted emergency measures to reduce transmission of Coronavirus (COVID-19). The directors continue to monitor the situation and take steps to reduce the impact on operations and financial performance.
During the year, the limited liability partnership incurred legal fees of £Nil (2019: £Nil) from London and Newcastle Capital Limited, a related party of one of the designated members of the LLP.
