Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Centurion (Parc Tawe I) Limited (registered number:
|
F F Whitcomb
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Centurion (Parc Tawe I) Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is Management Suite, Parc Tawe, Swansea, SA1 2AL, Wales, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. At the balance sheet date the company has net assets of £254,880 and net current liabilities of £21,292,269 of which liabilities of £22,661,837 are due to the company's immediate parent company.
The company is dependent on the support of its parent company. The parent company has provided confirmation that it would not request repayment of this balance until the business has sufficient resources to make a repayment.
Lease incentives and costs associated with entering into tenant leases are amortised over the lease term.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Balance Sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account as described below.
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
The company holds the following financial instruments:
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Short term intra group debtors and creditors; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Basic financial assets comprise short term trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances. Basic financial liabilities comprise short term trade and other creditors. Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price,
including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the net assets of the company.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities that have no stated interest rate and are payable within one year, such as trade creditors, are measured at transaction price.
Other basic financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
In the application of the company's accounting policies management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
estimates and underlying assumptions are based upon historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
• Management estimate the amount of rent expected to be received over the period of a lease. Where that lease includes rental steps or holiday periods the minimum contracted rents expected to be received are spread evenly over
the period of the lease.
• Management also use judgement in considering whether outstanding trade debtors will be recoverable and provide against these debts where recoverability is considered uncertain.
• The company’s investment property is carried in the balance sheet at fair value. The property was valued using the investment method of valuation. This approach involves applying market derived capitalisation yields to future income streams with appropriate adjustments for income voids arising from vacancies or rent free periods. The capitalisation yields were derived from comparable property and leasing transactions and were considered key inputs. Other factors taken into account include the tenure of the property, tenancy details and structural conditions.
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a payment.
