2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Accounting basis and standards |
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered relevant information, including the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. |
The group undertakings and other companies within the group will continue to support the Company. |
Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual reports and accounts. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about &Aplace Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Heartland A/S, Store Torv 1, 3., 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Interest and similar income and charges |
Interest and similar income and charges are recognised in the profit and loss account over the term of such instruments at a constant rate on the carrying amount. |
Foreign currencies |
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year. All exchange differences are dealt with in the profit and loss account. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Fixed assets |
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. |
Investment properties |
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
Investments |
Investments in other companies are stated at the Company's share of the value of the underlying net assets less provisions. The positive revaluation from cost to underlying net assets value is recorded through the revaluation reserve. The Negative revaluation is included in the profit and loss account. |
Debtors |
Debtors are valued individually and there are made provision according to this valuation. |
Creditors |
Creditors are carried at payment or settlement amounts. Where the time value of money is material, creditors are carried at amortized cost. |
Taxation |
Current tax and deferred taxation, including UK corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred taxation is provided in full on an undiscounted basis, on all timing differences which result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in tax computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the financial statements. |
Deferred tax assets are recognised where it is considered more likely than not that future profits will be available for offset. |

6. | INVESTMENT PROPERTY - continued |
Investment property, which is freehold, is revalued to fair value at each reporting date by the Company's |
directors. The valuation is not based on a valuation by an independent valuer. |
The fair value for commercial property and land are based on the estimated rental income earned on the |
property, average yields earned on comparable properties from publicly available information and the |
Company's directors professional judgement. |
Change in the yield and the estimated rental income can influence the valuation of the investment property. |
There is a level of estimation uncertainty regarding the yield. |
The historical cost of investment property is £ 64,105,131 (2023: £ 64,361,349) |
