| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| 54 Queen's Gate Hotel Property Company Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The company has been partly funded by an interest free loan from its parent company. The amount owed at the balance sheet date was £2,558,777 and is included in current liabilities. There are no fixed repayment terms and the parent company is not expected to request repayments until the company's cash flow allows. Due to this parent company support, the directors believe it is appropriate to continue preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about 54 Queen's Gate Hotel Property Company 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. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: |
| Leasehold Property Interest - 2% Straight Line |
| The Leasehold Property Interest is included in the balance sheet at valuation less accumulated depreciation. |
| An amount equal to the excess of the annual depreciation charge on revalued assets over the notional historical cost depreciation charge on those assets is transferred annually from the revaluation reserve to the profit and loss reserve. |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less any impairment. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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. |
| Other operating income |
| Other operating income represents rent received from the letting of properties. |
| Impairment |
| Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
| Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account. |
| Loans and borrowings |
| Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. |
| 3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
| The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2023 - NIL). |
