Accounting policies
Company information
Estates Management Services Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 6 Blenheim Terrace, Leeds. United Kingdom LS2 9HZ.
1.1
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:
1.2
Business combinations
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of YPP Holdings Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, 6 Blenheim Terrace, Leeds, United Kingdom, LS2 9HZ.
1.3
Going concern
The company made a profit after tax for the year of £488,070 (2023: £409,381) and has net liabilities of £18,591 (2023: net assets of £698,339). The directors have assessed the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.true
At a group level, the profit after tax for the year was £679,217 (2023: £3,950,885) and the group reported net liabilities of £1,096,987 (2023: net assets of £6,850,817). The movement from net assets to net liabilities is primarily explained by the dividend of £8,627,021 paid to shareholders which reduced reserves accordingly.
While the group reported net liabilities, it had cash balances of £7,625,169 as at the year end. The group also benefits from a committed £50,000,000 revolving facility with MAAN Investments Limited, owned and controlled by Al-Najafi family.
The directors have undertaken a formal going concern assessment covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This assessment considered the company’s forecasts, principal risks and sensitivities, the level of available financial resources, and the wider group funding arrangements. Based on this review, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
1.4
Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.
1.5
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

1.6
Financial instruments
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 statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, loans and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.7
Profit and loss account
The profit and loss represent cumulative profits and losses, net of dividends paid and other adjustments.
1.8
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable.
