NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
Oldtown Investment Properties Limited ('the Company') is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated under the UK Companies Act 2006 and domiciled in England.
The address of the Company's registered office is Sheldon House, 904/910 High Road, London, N12 9RW.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
Summary of significant accounting policies
|
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all reporting periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, and the UK Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Financial Reporting Standard 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies.
Details of those estimates and/or judgments made in applying the Company's accounting policies towards the preparation of these financial statements that may be considered as yielding a significant risk of a material adjustment being made to the carrying amounts of assets and/or liabilities reported in the balance sheet during the next financial reporting period are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.

|
Functional and presentational currency
|
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the "functional currency").
The functional currency of the Company, and the currency in which the financial statements are presented (the "presentational currency"), is 'Pounds Sterling' (£) rounded to the nearest single unit of currency.
In assessing whether the going concern basis remains appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements, the director has reviewed the Company’s principal and emerging risks, access to funding and liquidity position and the Company's performance up to the date these financial statements were approved and expected performance over the 18 months following the balance sheet date.
Based on his assessment, the director is of the conclusion that the Company will have, available at its disposal, adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Going concern (continued)
|
While there will always remain an inherent uncertainty, as is the case for all companies, the director has no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and therefore considers it both appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements and to not recognise any adjustments in the financial statements that would arise if the going concern basis were to become no longer appropriate.
Taxation comprises of income and/or corporate taxation ("current taxation") and deferred taxation recognised solely in profit or loss.
Current taxation is calculated using tax rates and on the basis of tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date where taxable income is generated by the Company through its business operations.
Deferred taxation is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their respective carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxation is calculated using tax rates and on the basis of tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset/liability is realised/settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is sufficiently probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Investment property comprises of property held by the Company to earn income or for capital appreciation, or both.
Investment property is initially recognised at purchase cost plus directly attributable acquisition expenses and subsequently measured at fair value. Investment properties are not depreciated. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they arise.
Purchases and sales of investment property are recognised when contracts have been unconditionally exchanged and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An investment property is derecognised for accounting purposes upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value) is recognised in profit or loss in the period the asset is derecognised.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities; with said financial assets and liabilities classified in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual obligations rather than its legal form.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Company's balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or the financial asset is transferred along with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The measurement of specific financial assets, financial liabilities, and equity held by the Company is as outlined below:
Debtors
Debtors are initially measured at transaction price (i.e fair value) and subsequently held, at transaction price less provision for impairment of assets.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash balances are reported by the Company as being financial instruments classified as short term receivables and are represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
Creditors
Creditors are initially measured, and subsequently held, at transaction price (i.e fair value).
Equity and dividends
Ordinary share capital, shown in equity, is initially measured and subsequently held at its nominal value. Where the transaction price for issued shares exceeds their nominal value, the difference is shown under equity in a share premium account with any directly attributable transaction costs associated with the issuing of said shares deducted from said share premium account. Equity dividends are recognised in the reporting period in which they become legally payable
|
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the director is required to apply judgment and make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other available sources based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Consequently, actual results may differ from that originally estimated.
The judgments, estimates and assumptions that are considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and/or liabilities within the next financial period are addressed below:
Recoverable value of debtors
When assessing the recoverable value of debtors, the director considers both externally available and internal sources of information such as historic and expected market activity, ageing profile, historical experience and, in the case of amounts owed by connected parties, the forecasted financial performance and expected cash flows of the connected party
