Accounting policies
Company information
Colne Bridge Investments Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Flat 5, 2 Gloucester Gate, London, NW1 4HG. The nature of the company's operations and its principal activities are that of property investment within the United Kingdom.
1.1
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, modified to include investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
The directors have performed an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.true
The company generates positive cash flows from its rental activities which are sufficient to satisfy the company’s ongoing administrative and debt service costs, and meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents rental and associated income derived from the investment property in the United Kingdom at invoiced amounts less value added tax. When the company provides incentives to its customers, the cost of incentives are recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rental income.
1.4
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss on a receivable basis.
1.5
Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit and loss over the term of the debt so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Finance costs include issue costs which, where material, are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Interest on borrowings to finance property development is capitalised. Interest is capitalised from the date work starts on the development to the date of practical completion. All borrowing costs which are not capital in nature are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

1.6
Taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date except that the recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that the company anticipates making sufficient taxable profits in the future to absorb the reversal of the underlying timing differences.
Deferred tax balances are not discounted and are determined based on the rates expected to apply at the date of reversal, using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
1.7
Investment property
Investment property is carried at fair value and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
1.8
Financial instruments
Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than its legal form.
The company's cash at bank and in hand and trade and other debtors and its trade and other creditors are measured initially at the transaction price, including transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable after more than one year are initially measured at fair value, being the discounted cash flows using a market rate of interest, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting policies which have a significant bearing on the reported financial condition and results of the company may require subjective or complex judgements. The principal ongoing area of judgement is the investment property valuation where the opinion of the directors has been obtained at each reporting date using a yield methodology valuation technique. The key input to the valuation at the reporting date was the market capitalisation rate, an increase in which would have caused the valuation to decrease.
Deferred taxation is impacted by the estimation uncertainty arising within the investment property valuation through the timing difference that exists between the valuation and the tax base cost of the properties.
3
Employees and directors
The company had 0 employees during the current or preceding year, other than the directors who did not receive any remuneration from the company.
