NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
London County Group Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
The significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the financial statements are set out below and have been consistently applied to all years unless otherwise stated. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents rental income receivable during the year. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Listed investments |
Listed investments held as fixed assets are stated at their fair value as at the balance sheet date. Any adjustment to their fair value is recognised in the Income Statement. |
Dividend income is accounted for when received or at the point when the Company is entitled to receive the |
dividend. |
Investment properties |
Properties classified as investment properties are those what are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation. |
Investment properties are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, investment properties are carried at their fair value. Any adjustment to the fair value of the investment properties is recognised in the Income Statement for the year. |
In accordance with FRS 102 no depreciation is provided in respect of freehold properties held as investments. |
This is a departure from the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 which requires all properties to be depreciated. Such properties are held for investment and not for consumption and the directors consider that to depreciate them would not give a true and fair view. Depreciation is only one of the many elements reflected in the annual valuation of properties and accordingly the amount of depreciation which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified. The directors consider that this policy results in the financial statements giving a true and fair view |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Financial instruments |
Trade and other debtors/creditors |
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction prices less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at transaction price less any impairment losses. Trade and other creditors are recognised at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash balances and deposits. |
Other reserves |
Other reserve is a non-distributable reserve and represents the net balance of adjustment to the fair value of the investment properties and the related deferred tax provision. |
