Accounting policies
Company information

Lou Investments Healthcare Bettystown Ltd is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Clive House, 2 Old Brewery Mews, London, NW3 1PZ.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies.

The financial statements are prepared in Euros which is the functional currency of the company. 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 investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to make an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the company which covers the 12-month period from the date of signing these financial statements. The directors' assessment has taken into account current macroeconomic factors. true

 

On the basis of these forecasts and the company’s balance sheet position, the directors are confident that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its obligations and liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. In addition, the company’s ultimate controlling party has confirmed his intention to continue to provide to the company such financial support as it requires for its continued operations and to enable it to meet its obligations and liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. As a result of the above, the directors have concluded that it remains appropriate to adopt a going concern basis of preparation in these financial statements.

 

1.3
Consolidation

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts, on the basis that the group of which this is the parent qualifies as a small group. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.

1.4
Taxation

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

 

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

1.5
Investment property

Investment property comprises freehold land, freehold buildings and buildings held under long leases. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost which comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Valuations are carried out at each reporting date to measure investment property at fair value. Any gain or loss is calculated by reference to the fair value at the last reporting date and is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Subsequent expenditure is included in the investment properties carrying amount only when it is probably that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the year in which they are incurred.

 

1.6
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.7
Financial instruments
Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and investments in commercial paper, are initially recognised at transaction price, 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.

Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party, or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

1.8
Derivatives

Derivatives, including interest rate swaps, are not basic financial instruments. The company has entered into an interest rate swap to manage its exposure to interest rate cash flow risk on its variable rate debt and set a pre-determined cap on its variable interest rate.

The interest rate swap was initially measured at £nil cost and is subsequently remeasured at fair value and recognised as an asset or liability at each reporting date. Change in fair value of derivatives are recognised in Comprehensive Income.

1.9
Hedge accounting

The company adopts hedge accounting policies for its interest rate swap agreement which is designated, documented and expected to be highly effective.

The hedging instrument is recognised as an asset or liability with the change in fair value being recognised in Comprehensive Income. The hedged risk is the variable interest rate risk of the company’s debt instrument measured at amortised cost, and, accordingly, the periodic net cash settlements on the interest rate swap are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the net settlements accrue.

Hedge accounting is discontinued where the hedging instrument expires, is sold or terminated, the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the forecast transaction is no longer highly probable in a hedge of a forecast transaction, or the designation is revoked.

1.10
Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event; it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense.

 

Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised in finance costs in profit or loss in the period it arises.

 

1.11

Reserves

The Company’s reserves are as follows:

Profit and loss reserves

The profit and loss reserves represent cumulative profits or losses, net of dividends paid and other adjustments.

 

Revaluation reserve

The revaluation reserve represents the difference between the acquisition cost and fair value of investment property net of taxation that would arise should the property be disposed at its fair value at the balance sheet date. The revaluation reserve is unrealised and non-distributable.

 

Fair value reserve

The fair value reserve represents the fair value of the company’s interest rate swap net of taxation at the balance sheet date. The fair value reserve is unrealised and non-distributable.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Inherent uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in differing outcomes when assets are realised or when liabilities are settled.

Critical judgements

In applying the company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Impairments

Management considers external and internal sources of information such as market conditions, counterparty credit ratings and experience of recoverability to judge whether there is an indicator of impairment of an asset.

A provision for impairment or non-recoverability of an asset is recognised / (reversed) where evidence indicates to management that the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount / (greater than its previously impaired carrying amount).

Deferred tax asset

Management considers whether it is probably that there will be future taxable profits when considering the recognition of a deferred tax asset.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In applying the company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Fair valuation of investment property

The fair value of investment property is the directors’ opinion of the estimated amount for which a property could exchange under an arm’s length transaction at the company’s financial year end date.

The directors, in forming their opinion, make a series of assumptions, which are typically market related such as investment yields and expected rental values, which are based on the directors’ professional judgement, experience and market knowledge provided by external estate agents. There is an inherent degree of estimation uncertainty present in property valuations such that the net proceeds receivable on the future disposal of a property to a third party under an arm’s length transaction within the next financial year may differ from the carrying amounts of properties presented in financial statements.

Recoverability of intra-group debtors

Recoverability of intra-group debtors is made based on an assessment by management of the recoverability of the debtors. Where evidence indicates an impairment of an intra-group debtors should be reflected, the value of an impairment is estimated by reference to the amounts deemed recoverable by reviewing the carrying amount of the group entity.
