NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

1.


General information

City & Docklands Management Limited (the "Company") is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated under the UK Companies Act 1985 and domiciled in England. The address of the Company's registered office is Regina House, 124 Finchley Road, London, NW3 5JS.

2.Accounting policies

  
2.1

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.

 
2.2

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.

  
2.3

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.

  
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currencies are translated into the functional (and presentational) currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the respective transaction or valuation where items are re-measured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Going concern

At both the balance sheet date and the date these financial statements were approved by the directors, the Company held net liabilities and is dependent on the continued financial support of specific fellow group undertakings and other connected entities of which the director, Gary Sacks, is either a director and/or a member of key management personnel of. The continuation of certain fellow group undertakings as going concerns are also dependent on the continuation of the Company as a going concern.
The directors have received appropriate confirmation from those relevant entities of their ongoing intention for the Company to continue to be provided with appropriate financial support where considered necessary such that the Company would be able to meet any third party debts as they should fall due and for no demand towards repayment of any amounts owed by the Company to be made until such time as the Company can repay them.
In preparing these financial statements the directors are of the opinion that:
the Company shall remain financially dependent on specific fellow group undertakings and connected entities until such time the Company is able to generate sufficient income and in turn cash to meet its debts as they should fall due; and
the group in which the Company is an undertaking of, as a whole, is adequately solvent and liquid such that the Company shall have adequate financial resources available at its disposal to meet both its normal operational cashflow requirements and any exceptional cashflow requirements that may arise should an event outside of the directors' control transpire.

The directors accept that although there does exist an inherent material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern given those matters summarised above; the directors consider the uncertainty to be sufficiently insignificant such that the application of going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements remains appropriate and in turn have prepared the Company's financial statements under said basis.

 
2.6

Revenue

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Company in respect of property management and marketing consultancy services supplied during the reporting period exclusive of Value Added Tax and recognised upon fees being invoiced.

 
2.7

Pensions

The Company makes direct contributions towards defined contribution pension plans on behalf of its employees; the assets of which are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are payable into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid there are no further payment obligations. Contributions payable by the Company are recognised as an expense in profit or loss during the reporting period in which they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown as part of other creditors in the balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.8

Government grants

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss in the same period in which the related costs covered by the grant are incurred to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the grant will be received.

  
2.9

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are items that are unusual because of their size, nature or incidence and which the director considers should be disclosed separately to enable a full understanding of the Company's results.

  
2.10

Interest income and expenditure

Interest is recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the terms of the underlying transaction using the effective interest method.

 
2.11

Taxation

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.

 
2.12

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are recognised under the cost model and stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. 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 upon acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on a 25% reducing basis against all assets.


Depreciation of a tangible fixed asset commences once the asset is available for use. 
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.13

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments comprise of the following:
 
Unlisted company shares which are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at cost less provision for impairment at the balance sheet date; and
An investment fund portfolio managed by a third party fund manager on behalf of the Company; with investments initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value (i.e. market value) through profit or loss.

 
2.14

Financial instruments

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 balance sheet upon 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 is as outlined below:
Debtors and creditors
Debtors, excluding deferred taxation (see note 2.11), and creditors deemed to be short term in nature are initially measured at transaction price (i.e fair value) and subsequently held, at transaction price less provision for impairment of assets. 
Debtors, excluding deferred taxation, deemed not to be short term in nature comprise of other loans issued at a rate in excess of market rate or issued at an interest-free rate but repayable within twelve months of demand being made. In either case, balances are not discounted and are reviewed for impairment, with provisions made where applicable, at the balance sheet date.
The Company held no creditors deemed not to be short term in nature.
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.
Equity
Ordinary share capital, shown in equity, is initially measured and subsequently held at its nominal value (i.e. transaction price). 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 the share premium account.

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.
In the opinion of the director, the following judgments, estimates and/or assumptions made in applying the principal accounting policies, outlined in note 2 of these financial statements, towards the preparation of these financial statements may be considered as having a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and/or liabilities carried forward as at the balance sheet date where by which the actual future outcome observed may differ from that originally determined and reported.
Impairment of debtors
When assessing the recoverable value of debtors, the director considers a variety of factors including the ageing profile of the debt, historical experience and the quality of communications to date with the debtor.
Recognition of deferred tax assets
The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is more likely than not that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest available profit forecasts. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, relevant tax law is considered to determine the availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits.

Auditors' information

The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023 was unqualified.

In their report, the auditors emphasised the following matter without qualifying their report:

The existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and note 2.5 of the financial statements which explained the directors' basis in light of this uncertainty for continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.

The audit report was signed on 3 January 2025 by Richard Paul (senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Nyman Libson Paul LLP.
