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

1.Accounting policies

 
1.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

SJC 14 Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England within the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given in the company information of these financial statements. The company's registration number is 03377803. The company's place of business is located at St Mary's School, Plumptre Place, Nottingham, NG1 1LW.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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 and have been rounded to the nearest £1.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
1.2

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding net current liabilities of £5,080,437. The directors of the ultimate parent undertaking, SJC 15 Limited, and its subsidiaries have indicated their agreement to continue to provide financial support to the company such that the company is able to continue to trade and meet its debts and liabilities as they fall due and that they will not seek repayment of intercompany debts within twelve months of signing these financial statements.

 
1.3

Investment property

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost which includes purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure.
Investment property is carried at fair value derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

 
1.4

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

For the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1.Accounting policies (continued)


1.4
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life.
No depreciation is provided in the year of acquisition whilst a full year's depreciation is provided in the year of disposal.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Fixtures and fittings
-
10 to 25% straight line

 
1.5

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue comprises rents and service charges receivable as well as project income, exclusive of value added tax. Revenue relating to rents and service charges is recognised in line with the lease agreement, as rents and charges fall due. Revenue relating to project income is recognised based on stage of completion and expected profit.

 
1.6

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. 
 
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.

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

1.Accounting policies (continued)

 
1.7

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 
1.8

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

 
1.9

Short term debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate or that are receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss account in other administrative expenses.

 
1.10

Operating leases: the Company as lessor

Rentals receivable under operating leases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Lease incentives are recognised over the lease term on a straight line basis.

 
1.11

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

 
1.12

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan
The company operates a defined benefit contribution pension scheme and contributions to the scheme are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period which they become payable.

1.Accounting policies (continued)

 
1.13

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

 
1.14

Stocks

Stocks and work in progress, which include land project costs, are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of the estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Revaluation of investment properties - the Company carries its investment property at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. The Company has periodically engaged independent valuation specialists to determine fair value for certain properties. The valuer used a valuation technique based on a discounted cash flow model as there is a lack of comparable market data because of the nature of the property. The determined fair value of the investment property is most sensitive to the estimated yield as well as the long term vacancy rate. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of investment property are further explained in the notes to the accounts. Those not valued by the independent valuer were valued by the Directors based on their knowledge.

Employees

The average monthly number of employees, including the directors, during the year was as follows:

The majority of the higher value investment properties were revalued by FHP in June 2022, with the remainder continuing to be revalued by the directors on an annual basis. In assessing the valuation they consulted with chartered surveyors and used their own knowledge of the current property market after considering the valuations performed in December 2015 by Jones Lang LaSalle of the majority of the value of the group's investment property.



If the Investment properties had been accounted for under the historic cost accounting rules, the properties would have been measured as follows:
