Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
King William St Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 05495948 . The registered office is 68 King William Street, London, EC4N 7HR.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
King William St 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 financial statements are prepared in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the company. The financial statements are for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: 31 December 2023).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
At the balance sheet date, the company has shareholders' funds of £15,599,064 (2023: £12,239,618), having incurred a profit for the year of £3,359,446 (2023: loss of £5,158,105). Included within creditors is £37,679,423 (2023: £34,438,995) relating to amounts due to its immediate and ultimate parent companies who have confirmed that repayment, will not be sought for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts.
The directors are satisfied that the ultimate parent undertaking has the means to provide financial and non-financial support and that such support will be forthcoming if required. On the basis of the availability of this support, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, albeit noting that the intention of the parent company is no guarantee of continuation of funding.
The financial forecasts prepared by the directors, which reflect that the property is fully tenanted, show that the company should be able to operate within the facilities available to it with continued parent company support.
The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company was unable to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Management bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
The estimates and judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are detailed as below:
Investment property valuation
At each reporting date, the directors assess the fair value of the investment property based on the advice of leading, external, property valuers. Nevertheless, the fair value is subjective and may not be representative of the potential price which might actually be achieved between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the balance sheet date.
Page 3
Page 4
2.4. Turnover
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activity of the company, being the rental of commercial property. Lease incentives offered to tenants are spread over the life of the relevant leases.
All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures & Fittings 25% on reducing balance
Computer Equipment 25% on reducing balance
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
2.6. Investment Properties
Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both and that is not occupied by the Company is classified as investment property.
Investment property is initially measured at cost, including related transaction costs and borrowing costs.
After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. Valuations are performed as of the statement of financial position date by professional valuers who hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. These valuations form the basis for the carrying amounts in the financial statements.
The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in the light of current market conditions. The fair value also reflects, on a similar basis, any cash outflows that could be expected in respect of the property. Some of those outflows are recognised as a liability whereas others are not recognised in the financial statements until a later date.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
The fair value of investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure other than those a rational market participant would take into account when determining the value of the property.
Changes in fair values are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investment property is derecognised either when it has been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from the use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.
If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, and its fair value at date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting purposes.

2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.8. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.9. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
2.10. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs primarily comprise interest on the company's borrowings. All borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reporting within 'interest payable and similar expenses'. No general borrowing costs have been capitalised in relation to qualifying assets.
2.11. Operating leases: the company as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 
Amounts paid and payable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised as a reduction in income over the lease term on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern over which the lessor's benefit from the leased asset is
diminished.
