NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The principal activity of the Company was that of property investment.
The Company is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales and incorporated
in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006.
The registered office address is Mardleybury Manor, Reed End, Royston, Hertfordshire, SG8 9RL.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements 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 Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue
in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks sucessfully.
The Company is in a strong position due to its substantial assets and the status of the current tenants.
Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report
and financial statements.
Revenue represents rents receivable from tenants. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessor
|
Rental income from operating leases is credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
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 reporting 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 reporting 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 reporting date.
Investment property is carried at fair value determined periodically by external valuers and 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. Interim annual valuations are carried out by directors. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
|
|
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 measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

(i) Financial assets

(ii) Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and accruals, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

The 2024 valuations were made by external valuers, on an open market value for existing use basis.
The method of determining fair value was a combination of investment and comparable transactions, dependent on the individual asset concerned. Significant assumptions applied related to the investment yield.

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

|
|
|

In determining the accumulated depreciation under the historic cost accounting rules, depreciation over 25 years on the buildings has been provided for. For properties where the value attributable to the land and the buildings cannot be easily determined, the cost has been apportioned based on an estimate that 40% of cost relates to the land and 60% relates to the buildings.
