Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
|
|
1 |
Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 – The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102'), and with the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the modification to a fair value basis for certain land and buildings as specified in the accounting policies below, and are presented in Sterling (£). |
|
|
Consolidation |
|
The financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about it as a group. The group is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated accounts as it is a small group. Investments in subsidiaries are measured at fair value. |
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the rental of property by reference to the period covered by the rent. |
|
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Land and buildings, being an investment property, is measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Fair value is determined by the directors and supported by qualified valuers. |
|
|
Investment in subsidiary undertakings |
|
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account. |
|
|
Debtors |
|
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
|
|
Creditors |
|
Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
Current tax is recognised for the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference and is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date, except as otherwise indicated. Deferred tax assets are only 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. If and when all conditions for retaining tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset have been met, the deferred tax is reversed. |
|
|
Provisions |
|
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
