RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS |
The loss for the period is £60 (2022: £nil). The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the period ended 31 December 2023. |
GOING CONCERN |
The directors have reviewed the trading prospects and projected cash flows of the business and on that basis the directors have a reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.Further detail is provided in the accounting policies of the financial statements. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
London BTR Investments Holdings Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparation |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework": |
• | the requirements of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 17 and 18A of IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures; |
• | the requirements in IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures to disclose related party transactions entered into between two or more members of a group. |
Taxation |
Tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years. |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at the date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax with the following exceptions: |
1) The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that the Company anticipates making sufficient taxable profits in the future to absorb the reversal of the underlying timing differences. |
2) Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. |

Going concern |
The directors have reviewed the trading prospects and projected cash flows of the business, which include the re-tendering of construction contracts relating to two sites owned by subsidiaries of London BTR Investments Holdings Ltd ( "the Company") which were originally contracted to be constructed by a contractor which entered Administration in October 2023. |
Following this, contract works on the two sites were re-tendered to third parties to enable completion of the developments. The re-tendering process is at an advanced stage and nearing finalisation. Once complete, this will enable the construction works to recommence in 2024. |
The administration of the contractor triggered a breach of covenants relating to certain of the debt pool's bank facilities. However, the Group has strong relationships with its lenders and continues to work and communicate with them to find an optimum solution to the benefit of all stakeholders. The lenders remain supportive and the Board is confident that it will be able to resolve the breach and enable debt funding to resume once the contract re-tendering is complete and construction re-commences. |
Until the appointment of alternative contractors under construction contracts to the satisfaction of lenders, the Group will remain in breach of the bank facilities related to these sites. As a result of this technical breach, the lenders could call upon their debt and as such the debt related to this facility has been classified as repayable on demand. The directors consider that action by the lenders to call upon its debt is unlikely, but acknowledge that this represents a material uncertainty. |
The directors believe that adopting the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements is appropriate. |
3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION |
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. |
4. | LOSS BEFORE TAXATION |
No expenses associated with this note were incurred in the year. |
