Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 May 2024
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England. The address of the registered office is Unit 1 Sheet Stores Industrial Estate, Long Eaton, Nottingham, NG10 1AU.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the provisions of FRS 102, Section 1A, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain investment properties measured at fair value through the profit and loss account. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of Value Added Tax.
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred taxation recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account.Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.Investment properties are shown at fair value and no depreciation is charged on this value.An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in the profit and loss account and accumulated in capital and reserves.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fittings fixtures and equipment - 12.5 % reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25 % reducing balance
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Fixed asset investments
Investment properties are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the profit and loss account.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the contribution becomes payable.
4. Employee numbers
The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to 1 (2023: 2 ).

The above investments are reversionary interests in houses on which 22 year leases have been granted. The investments have been revalued at the balance sheet date to reflect the reduction in the number of years before the properties revert back to the company. The revaluation has been carried out by the directors of the company and they consider that the unencumbered freehold value of the houses has not changed during the year. Deferred taxation has been provided for at 25% in respect of the revaluation of these reversionary interests. If the investments had been stated at cost their net book value would have been £3,815,147 (2023 - £3,972,398).
