Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Morven Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


The monetary amounts included in the accounts are rounded to the nearest Pound Sterling (£).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

GOING CONCERN
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements

PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements contain information about Morven Holdings Ltd as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group.

TURNOVER
Turnover represents the fair value of net rents receivable in the year.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
All assets are initially recorded at cost. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Plant and machinery10% and 15% straight line

INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
The investment in subsidiaries is accounted for at cost less any provision for impairment.

INVESTMENT PROPERTY
Investment properties, which are properties held to earn rental income, are initially recognised at cost which includes purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure.

Investment properties whose value can be measured reliably are measured at fair value by the directors. Their judgement of fair value is considered in light of the gross yield of rental income. The valuation of residential properties is considered in light of UK house price indices. The surplus or deficit on a fair value adjustment is recognised in the income statement in the year. As the fair value adjustment is not a distributable profit, this is transferred to the fair value reserve. Deferred tax is provided on fair value gains at the rate expected to apply when the property is sold and this provision is included within the fair value reserve.

Rental income from investment property is recognised in the profit and loss account on a receivable basis over the term of the lease.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors, are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measure at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through the profit and loss account, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. 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 and 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 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.

Derecognition of financial asset
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to a third party.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the the debt instrument is measure at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measure at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire, are discharged or are cancelled.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

OPERATING LEASE INCOME
Operating lease income is recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probably that an outflow or resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
