2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Summary of significant accounting policies
|
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all reporting periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements of the Company 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 conformity with Financial Reporting Standard 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies.
Details of those estimates and/or judgments made in applying the Company's accounting policies towards the preparation of these financial statements that may be considered as yielding a significant risk of a material adjustment being made to the carrying amounts of assets and/or liabilities reported in the balance sheet during the next financial reporting period are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.
|
|
|
Functional and presentational currency
|
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the "functional currency").
The functional currency of the Company, and the currency in which the financial statements are presented (the "presentational currency"), is 'Pounds Sterling' (£) rounded to the nearest single unit of currency.
|
|
|
Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements
|
The Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by virtue of sections 383 and 399 of the Companies Act 2006 as the Company and its subsidiary undertakings, both individually and on consolidation, are subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements therefore present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The directors are of the opinion that based on current and expected operational performance, there is a reasonable expectation that the Company shall have adequate financial resources available at its disposal to continue in operational existence. For this reason, the directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The directors therefore consider it both appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements and to not recognise any adjustments in the financial statements that would arise if the going concern basis were to become no longer appropriate.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
Taxation for the financial reporting period comprises of current (i.e. corporation) and deferred taxation which are recognised in profit or loss.
Current taxation is calculated using tax rates and on the basis of tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the UK where the Company solely operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred taxation is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their respective carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxation is calculated using tax rates and on the basis of tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset/liability is realised/settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is sufficiently probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Fixed asset investments comprise of holdings in the following:
Holdings in unlisted company shares of subsidiary undertakings
Such holdings are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at cost less provision for impairment at the balance sheet date.
Holdings in unlisted property unit trusts
Such holdings are accounted for using the equity method on the grounds that the trusts are transparent for taxation purposes in the UK where the Company solely operates.
Under this method, the Company recognises its investment at cost and subsequently adjusts this for its share of profits or losses, recognised in profit or loss within non-operating items, distributions made by the trusts and accumulated provision for impairment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities; with said financial assets and liabilities classified in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual obligations rather than its legal form.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Company's balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or the financial asset is transferred along with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
Debtors are initially measured at transaction price (i.e fair value) and subsequently held, at transaction price less provision for impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash balances are reported by the Company as being financial instruments classified as short term receivables and are represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours, subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and held at floating interest rates linked to bank rates.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.
Other loans that are non-interest bearing and repayable upon demand and the Company holding cash reserves in excess of its working capital requirements are initially measured and subsequently held at transaction price and as falling due within one year.
Other financial liabilities, including interest bearing loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Ordinary share capital, shown in equity, is initially measured and subsequently held at its nominal value. Where the transaction price for issued shares exceeds their nominal value, the difference is shown under equity in a share premium account with any directly attributable transaction costs associated with the issuing of said shares deducted from said share premium account.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although the expected outcome of said estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results; estimates and judgments made are continually reevaluated and are based on historical experience as well as other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies
There are no critical judgments made in applying the entity's accounting policies.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The estimates and assumptions that are considered as having a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are addressed below:
Assessment of indicators of impairment in fixed asset investments held
∙In their assessment, the directors consider both externally available and internal sources of information, such as historic and expected market activity and cash flows.
Recoverable value of debtors
∙When determining the recoverable value of debtors, the directors consider a variety of factors including, in the case of amounts owed by group undertakings and connected parties, the forecasted financial performance and expected cash flows, ageing profile and historical experience.

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 0 (2023 - 0).
