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 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 directors have reviewed the Company’s principal and emerging risks, recent levels of rent collection, existing loan facilities, 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 their assessment, the directors at the time of approving the financial statements have a reasonable expectation that the Company has, available at its disposal, adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue comprises rental income recognised in the period to which it relates on an accruals basis and measured at the fair value of consideration receivable.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred unless where considered, in the opinion of the directors, to be material with respect to the value of the associated capital instrument upon which the respective borrowing costs on issue are initially recognised as a reduction against the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
Taxation comprises of 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.
The Company is subject to taxation at the rate enacted by HM Revenue & Customs in respect of property investment activities undertaken in the United Kingdom. All such liabilities in respect of UK current taxation payable are provided for as soon as there is a reasonable certainty that a liability will crystallise. The Company did not undertake any other activities in any other country.
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 and 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 upon the Company becoming party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 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 in notes 2.11 to 2.14 of the financial statements.
Debtors (excluding deferred tax assets (see note 2.7) are initially measured at transaction price (i.e fair value) and subsequently held, at transaction price less provision for impairment.
|
|
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 and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash balances are held at floating interest rates linked to UK bank rates.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Creditors are initially measured and subsequently held at transaction price.
Bank loans are initially measured at fair value and subsequently held at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
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.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although the expected outcome of said estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results; estimates and judgments made are continually re-evaluated and are based on historical experience as well as other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies
The valuation of investment properties involves the application, and therefore significant judgment, of unobservable inputs.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The estimates and assumptions that are considered as having a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are addressed below:
Investment properties
∙The fair value of investment properties is determined annually by the directors on an open market value basis by reference to specific advice from third party experts and available market evidence. In determining the fair value, a number of estimates and assumptions are required based on the property market as a whole and rental yields, nature, location and condition of the specific investment property.

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 0 (2022 - 0).
