Coolsilk Property & Investment Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Orchard Villa, Top Pasture Lane, North Wheatley, Retford, DN22 9BY.

The reporting period represents an 18-month accounting period from 30 June 2023 to 31 December 2024. The reporting period was changed to 31 December to bring in line with the calendar year.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Turnover represents rental income and service charges recognised on a receivable basis over the rental period net of VAT.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

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. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Investment properties are valued at fair value under FRS 102. The directors' calculation of these fair values requires judgements to be made, which include forecast rent receivable, rental yields and market growth.

There is a level of judgement based on assets and estimated cash flows which are inherently subjective. In particular, the directors believe that the asset under construction should be held at cost because it is too early in the ongoing insurance and legal proceedings to judge whether the valuation of the asset under construction has been in part impaired.

The directors are confident that the amounts owed to the company by the related parties are recoverable in full.

At the time of writing, there are ongoing legal proceedings on the asset under construction of which the outcome is currently unknown. The directors believe no impairment has been provided on the carrying value, which is based on cost incurred.

No depreciation is provided on assets under construction, in accordance with the accounting policy.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

There are significant taxable losses (note 9) which have not been provided as a deferred tax asset. At the balance sheet date, it is uncertain as to when these losses will be utilised.

In line with FRS 102, the directors capitalised loan interest costs on the loan finance used to fund building works. The capitalisation of the loan interest costs ended once the building works were paused for the legal proceedings to be resolved.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the period was:

The impairment losses in respect of financial assets are recognised in other gains and losses in the profit and loss account.
