The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the income statement within the financial statements.true

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

IOW Squirrel Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is First Floor, 5 Fleet Place, London, EC4M 7RD.

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, modified to include investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the reporting date the company had net liabilities of £1,487,772 (2023: £11,082,226). The company has access to support from P3P Finance Limited, a fellow subsidiary, in the form of a working capital loan. P3P Finance Limited has agreed not to demand repayment of the loan facility until IOW Squirrel Limited has adequate resources to do so. true

Therefore, the directors believe that the company has access to sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. On this basis the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Revenue consists of finance charges and rental income receivable, and arises solely in the United Kingdom.

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the income statement.

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include deposits held at call with banks.

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 statement of financial position 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, which include trade and other receivables 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.

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through the statement of income, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the statement of income.

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

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, including trade and other payables, other loans and loans from fellow group companies, 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 payables 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 payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

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.

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

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement 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.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and 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.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the company’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the company’s net investment outstanding in respect of leases.

Leased assets

Assets leased to third parties are shown as current assets net of future finance charges receivable. Finance charges are allocated to accounting periods to give a constant periodic rate of return on the net cash investment in the lease in each period.

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.

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.

Investment property was professionally valued using the critical, property-specific considerations and market conditions. The Directors have used the input from the valuer to inform the 31 March 2024 valuation of the investment property used in the financial statements. There is an inevitable degree of judgement involved in this as this property has unique features and the value can only truly be tested through a sale process in the market itself. The valuation included in these financial statements is management’s best estimate of the property’s value at the reporting date based on the information available.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

The comparative number has been adjusted to exclude those directors who are not employed under contracts of service.

The company’s investment property portfolio undergoes valuation by an independent valuer in accordance with RICS Red Book standards. The directors have used the input from the valuer as a basis for assessing the fair value of the investment property at each reporting date.

Included in amounts owed by related parties is an amount of £3,295,399 (2023: £1,509,995) due from a company in which the directors have a beneficial interest in. The amount is net of a bad debt provision of £NIL (2023: £8,000,000). Interest was previously charged on this amount at a rate of 11% per annum and was waived during the year. The balance is unsecured and repayable on demand.

As part of a wider group restructure which occurred on 1 April 2023, amounts due from P3P Finance Limited, a company which was previously included in amounts due from related parties, have now been classified as amounts due from group undertakings. The balance is interest bearing at a rate of 10% per annum, unsecured and repayable on demand. An amount of £3,071,787 (2023: £NIL) due within more than one year is interest bearing at a rate of 15% per annum and is unsecured.

Finance lease receivables are classified based on the amounts that are expected to be settled within the next 12 months and after more than 12 months from the reporting date, as follows:

The company enters into financial leasing arrangements for a property. The term of finance lease entered into is 22 years.

Included within finance lease income is contingent rent received of £534,971 (2023: £nil). Rentals are contingent on the movement in the retail price index.

Other borrowings of £1,342,654 (2023: £2,624,879) and other payables of £131,197 (2023 - £303,173) are secured by way of fixed and floating charges over the assets of the company.

As part of a wider group restructure which occurred on 1 April 2023, amounts due to P3P Finance Limited, a company which was previously included in amounts due to related parties, have now been classified as amounts owed to group undertakings. The balance is interest bearing at a rate of 10% per annum, unsecured and repayable on demand.

Other borrowings are secured by way of fixed and floating charges over the assets of the company.

The investment property held by IOW Squirrel Limited is subject to a declaration of trust, under which a third party is entitled to a proportion of the proceeds upon the property's eventual sale. The provision is calculated based on the property's estimated market value at the balance sheet date. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding both the timing and the ultimate value of the sale, the total provision has been estimated at £3,650,000 (2023: £5,020,000) and is recognised under other provisions.

Retained earnings are comprised of both distributable and non-distributable reserves.
