Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents rents receivable on an accrual basis. |
Financial instruments |
Only basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102 are held. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the accounts only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and their measurement basis is as follows: |
Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. |
Cash at bank is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at transaction price. |
Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are basic financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Where a financial liability constitutes a financing transaction it is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of future payments, discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument. |
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. |
Operating leases and rental income |
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. |
Investment properties |
Investments are stated at fair value at the balance sheet date. Any aggregate surplus or deficit from changes in fair value is recognised in the profit and loss account. |

4. | INVESTMENT PROPERTY |
Investment properties were valued on a fair basis on 31 July 2021 by Lincolnshire Surveyors Ltd whose surveyer was MRICS qualified. The valuation was determined by the current value of similar properties in the area assumed to be without tenants.In the opinion of the directors the value is not materially different to the 2021 value. |
The original cost of the investment properties is £745,721 (2023 - £745,721) and had they been depreciated in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 the depreciation charge would have been £14,312 (2023 - £14,312) and the net book value as at 31 May 2024 would have been £527,044 (2023 - £541,356). |
If the investment properties were sold at their fair value the additional tax liability would be £207,765 (2023 - £207,765). |
During the year investment properties valued at £1,885,705 (2023 - £1,885,705) were let under operating leases. The rent received under these leases was £155,813 (2023 - £165,315). |
