Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, which is the company’s functional currency, rounded to the nearest whole pound.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company is reliant on the support of the group of which the company is a member as another group undertaking is the tenant of the company’s freehold land and buildings and as such the company’s only source of income. Support from the group is expected to be forthcoming as required.

Income recognition

Income represents rent receivable by the company.

The company recognises income when the amount of income can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for the company's activities.

Deferred tax

Full provision is made for material deferred tax liabilities arising from timing differences between the recognition of profits and losses in the accounts and their recognition for tax purposes. Material 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.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The company's freehold land and buildings are used by another undertaking of the group to which the company belongs and are therefore treated as a tangible fixed asset rather than as an investment property.

Freehold buildings are being depreciated from 1 October 2016 over the remainder of their useful economic lives, estimated to be 50 years.

Tangible fixed assets are subject to an impairment review at the end of each reporting period.

Financial instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost. The company does not have any financial instruments which are not basic financial instruments.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to income and expenditure account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
