Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
The freehold investment property is stated at market value and any surplus on revaluation is credited to the profit and loss account as a non distributable reserve.

Other tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation, less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the assets concerned over their expected useful lives, as follows:

Leasehold investment property - Over the period of the lease
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% on a straight line basis

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for any permanent diminution in value.

Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pensions scheme, the assets of which are held separately from the company and administered by trustees. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

2. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 1 (2023 - 1 ) .
