| Notes to the Accounts |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
|
|
| 1 |
Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard). |
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover is the total amount, excluding VAT, receivable by the company from its investment properties. |
|
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or 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. Any surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account. |
|
|
Investments |
|
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The directors consider that the specialised nature of the company's investments means it is not practical to measure the investments at fair value. The cost of obtaining independent valuations would be disproportionate to any benefit to the company. |
|
|
Debtors |
|
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
|
|
Creditors |
|
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. |
