Accounting policies
Company information

Milbourne Court Residents Association (Watford) Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is C/o Rumball Sedgwick, 198 Lower High Street, Watford, WD17 2FF.

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.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, 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. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Profit and loss account

The company has not traded during the year or the preceding financial period. During this time, the company received no income and incurred no expenditure and therefore no Profit and loss account is presented in these financial statements.

1.3
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Land and buildings Freehold
Nil

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to surplus or deficit.

1.4
Taxation

The company is exempt from corporation tax, it being a company not carrying on a business for the purposes of making a profit.

1.5

Status

During the year the company has acted as agent for the lessees of the property at Milbourne Court, Alexandra Road, Watford, WD17 4QZ. The funds in relation to the maintenance of the property are held in trust. As at 31 October 2023 the cash balance held on behalf of the lessees amounted to £25,335.

 

The Company therefore has no income or expenditure in its own right in relation to the maintenance of the common parts of the property held in accordance with the governing leases. Income and expenditure arising from these transactions is shown in separate service charge accounts for the property that do not form part of the annual accounts of the company and not filed at Companies House. The accounts can be obtained from Milbourne Court Residents Association (Watford) Limited.
