Accounting policies
Company information

Seneca Property 101BD Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 9 The Parks, Haydock, Newton le Willows, Merseyside, WA12 0JQ.

1.1
Reporting period

The company presents its financial statements for a period of 12 months. The previous reporting period was 18 months, due to a change in the year end for operational purposes. As a result, the financial statements for the current period are not directly comparable with the previous period.

1.2
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.3
Going concern

These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. However, the directors are aware of certain material uncertainties which may cause doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The company has suffered a loss in the period, caused by the impairment of the investments in subsidiary companies. The directors are confident that the detailed valuations carried out adequately reflect the current market value of the subisidiaries at the Balance Sheet date. In addition a bad debt was incurred in respect of monies recoverable from a subsidiary. The company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £1,884,249 at the Balance Sheet date.

 

Included within creditors falling due within less than one year is a bank loan of £12,750,000 that has been successfully refinanced with effect from October 2024 for a further three year period. There is also a loan from a connected party of £1,900,000 that expired in August 2024 and this has also been extended for a further 12 months.

 

Investor loans are technically repayable within one year but were provided on the basis that repayment would only take place when sale of property occurred in the subsidiaries to which funding has been supplied. Loan interest continues to be accrued on the outstanding balances and the directors are confident of the continuing support of the individual investors.

 

1.4
Fixed asset investments

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Entities in which the company has a long term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.

1.5
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.6
Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

 

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.7
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.8
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable.

- 5 -
Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Recoverability of loans due from subsidiaries

At 30 June 2024, the company has loans due from subsidiaries totalling £18,202,520. A provision of £181,631 has been recognised for one subsidiary, reflecting concerns over the recoverability of part of this loan. The ability of the subsidiaries to repay the loans depends on the performance of each business, particularly income from investment properties and the value of those properties.

 

While this area involves inherent uncertainties, a formal property valuation conducted in March 2024 helped management conclude that the loans would be recoverable, with the exception of the provision already recognised.

Refinance of external borrowing

 

In October 2024, the £12.75m bank loan, which was classified under current liabilities at 30 June 2024, was refinanced for a period of 36 months. This loan facility is crucial to the company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of the refinancing, material uncertainty regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists in relation to this loan.
