2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
During the year, the Company has made a loss due to a reduction in the open market value of the property portfolio. The company exists in a period of high inflation, rising interest rates and as such it is a challenging environment in which the company operates.
The company has sufficient cash at the year end and continues to enjoy the support of its owners and related companies. As they have in the past, the Directors continue to maintain a "hands on" approach to ensure maintenance of capital values and the rigorous collection of rent and, if any, arrears. We have reviewed forecasted cash flow for the twelve months from the date that the financial statements have been approved and have sufficient comfort that with the support mentioned above, the Company can meet liabilities as they fall due. The Directors believe that the accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis and that there is no material uncertainty in respect of going concern
Turnover 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. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Turnover represents rental income and service charges receivable during the year from investment properties.
Rental income and service charges from investment properties is accrued on a time apportioned basis under the term of the lease.
|
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessor
|
Rental income from operating leases is credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Amounts paid and payable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised as a reduction to income over the lease term on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern over which the lessor's benefit from the leased asset is diminished.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Provisions for liabilities
|
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Included within the accounts is a significant accounting estimate in respect of the value of the Investment Properties. These properties have been externally valued by Knight Frank LLP.
The properties have been valued using common industry methods of valuation for commercial property. The process uses transactional evidence of similar investment properties that have been recently sold, or are being marketed for sale, and fully reflect the current attitude of property investors, for assets of this nature. Each asset has been individually valued to take account of its use, location, quality of occupier, lease length and passing rent.
The valuations provided are at arm's length and undertaken by a recognised commercial property valuer. Accordingly, the directors believe the assessments to be accurate and market facing. They have been calculated to fully reflect the investment market, at 31st March 2023, and the aggregate valuation of the properties included within the accounts is £6,425,000.
|
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 4 (2022 - 3).
