NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1.


General information

Leopard UK Kensington Propco Limited is a private company limited by shares and is incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is 18 Culford Gardens, London, SW3 2ST.
The principal activity of the Company is the development and sale of land and buildings.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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).

 
2.2

Going concern

The director has made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The Company meets its day to day working capital requirements through the utilisation of its own funds and support that it receives from its ultimate shareholders.
The ultimate shareholders have committed to a guaranteed capital and interest payment arrangement with the lender and are in a formal process to sell its trading stock. However no legally binding agreements have been entered as of the date of signing of these financial statements. 
Accordingly, the director considers it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

 
2.3

Revenue

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. Revenue 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:
Rent receivable
The rental income receivable under operating leases from tenants is recognised through profit and loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Any rent-free period is spread over the period of the lease.

 
2.4

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Stocks

Property purchased with the intention to develop and re-sale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
At each reporting date, stock is assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.

 
2.6

Debtors

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.

 
2.7

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.

 
2.8

Creditors

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.

 
2.9

Financial instruments

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.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the company's accounting policies. As such, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following are the company's key sources of estimation uncertainty:
Property stock
ln accordance with its accounting policy, the Company is required to carry its trading stock at the lower of cost and net realisable value. ln assessing net realisable value the Company has considered the internal appraisals of the project and the results of external valuations.

The bank loan is interest bearing and is secured by a first charge over the property. The bank also has the benefit of a debenture creating security over all of the assets of the Company and the loan has been secured by Personal Guarantees from certain of the ultimate shareholders.
Other loans comprise interest free loans repayable no later than 31 December 2023 and are subordinate to the bank loan. In 2022, the bank loan’s termination date was extended up to September 2023. To facilitate this extension, the personal guarantors entered a guaranteed capital and interest payment arrangement with the lender. 
Amounts owed to group undertakings comprise interest bearing and interest free loans. The interest free loans are repayable on demand and the interest bearing loans accrue interest at varying rates and have different maturity dates. The amounts owed to group undertakings are subordinate to the bank loan.
