Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Freehold investment property |
Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. |
Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. |
The investment properties are valued by the directors at the balance sheet date at their open market tenanted values which the directors consider to be the fair value of the property. |

Financial instruments |
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including other debtors, and cash at bank, are initially recognised at transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
At the end of each reporting year 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 the profit and loss account. |
Other financial assets, including fixed asset investments are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. |
The fair value of the investments traded in an active market is based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the balance sheet date. Quoted investments are valued at the mid-market price quoted on the London Stock Exchange and overseas securities are valued at the mid-market price on the relevant overseas stock exchange. Unit trusts are valued at the middle price prevailing on the balance sheet date and any unquoted securities are valued at price obtained from accredited sources. |
Net gains or losses from investments at fair value through profit or loss includes all unrealised fair value changes. |
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. |
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 the profit and loss account. |
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price. |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |
(iii) Offsetting |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |
Income from investments comprise revenue recognised by the company in respect of income from fixed asset investments and is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. |
Income from investment property |
Income from investment property comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of rental income received on the companies' freehold investment property. Income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established and is shown net of related expenditure. |
Interest income |
Interest income is recognised in the profit and loss account using the effective interest method. |
Investments |
Investments are held for long term growth. |
Investments traded in an active market are revalued based on quoted market prices at close of trading at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on revaluation and profits and losses on disposal are recognised in profit or loss for the period. |
Provisions |
Provisions are set up only where it is probable that a present obligation exists as a result of an event prior to the balance sheet date and that a payment will be required in settlement that can be estimated reliably. Where material, provisions are calculated on a discounted basis. |
Short term employee benefits, including holiday pay, are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period in which they are incurred. |
The directors have considered the company's financial position for a minimum of 12 months and beyond from the date of signing these financial statements and has an expectation that the company should be in a position to continue trading in the current format for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. |
