WINCKLEY ESTATES LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01074806)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the Year Ended 31 October 2024


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Winckley Estates Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Winckley Estates Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 10% on reducing balance

The director's opinion is that depreciation should not apply to freehold property, included in note 5, as its market value considerably outweighs its cost.

Investment property
The property held by the company is classed as investment property, which is held to earn rentals and / or for capital appreciation. Investment property is stated at open market value, at the most recent valuation. Gains or losses arising from the changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the Income Statement for the period in which they arise. Deferred tax is provided on these movements where applicable.

Stocks
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Long term contracts are valued at cost, net of amounts transferred to cost of sales, after deducting foreseeable losses and payments on account not matched with turnover. Transfers to turnover are made on the basis of cost plus known profit attributable to the stage of completion of each contract.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, prepayments, trade creditors, accruals, cash at bank, bank loans, and intercompany loans. They are all measured at the amount of consideration expected to be received or paid.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services supplied net of discounts.

Rents receivable are recognised when a liability arises on the tenant in accordance with the tenancy agreement.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 3 (2023 - 3 ) .

The directors, on reflection, consider that the cost of the freehold property is far outweighed by its market value and therefore do not consider that the property should be depreciated at all. This departure from The Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102 1A is in the directors' opinion necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view given that they do not wish to revalue the property. In the directors' opinion a provision of at least £693 should have been made on the buildings element of the property. The effect of not providing for depreciation on this asset is to overstate profits by £693 in both the current and previous years.

Cost or valuation at 31 October 2024 is represented by:
