The director of the company has elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

For the financial year ended 31 December 2024 the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

The director acknowledges his responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.

The member has not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year in question in accordance with section 476.

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Rose Street Properties Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 16 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, EH2 4DF.

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.

Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Ongoing support is provided by a loan from another group company and the appropriateness of the going concern basis is dependent on this support being continued.

Turnover represents rental income, net of VAT. Rental income is recognised at the fair value of consideration receivable.

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. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

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.

Debtors do not carry interest and are stated at their nominal value.

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 assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and loans from fellow group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

The 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 net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes 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 reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is 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 estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

The investment property is periodically professionally valued using a yield methodology. In intervening periods the valuation is assessed by the director. This methodology uses market rentals but there is an inherent degree of judgement involved in that each property is unique and value can only ultimately be reliably tested in the market itself.

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

The fair value of the investment property has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out by Montague Evans, independent valuers, as at 31 March 2022. The director is satisfied that the valuation remains an accurate reflection of fair value as at 31 December 2024. The historic cost of the investment property is £807,133 (2023 - £807,133).

The deferred tax liability relates to the fair value uplift on investment property.

Additional taxes and interest due on the 2017 property acquisition were identified in 2021 and paid in 2022.  It is possible that HMRC will seek to charge the company penalties on these amounts. However, as the matter has not yet been agreed with HMRC it is not yet possible to determine with any degree of certainty the payment, if any, that will be made, and accordingly this contingent liability has been assessed as possible but not probable as at 31 December 2024, and no provision for any liability in respect of penalties has been made in these financial statements.

Legal advice is currently being sought in respect of the transactions that have led to the tax liabilities, interest and potential penalties outlined in note 9. The company secured the recovery of the additional tax and interest during 2022, and these recoveries were included in other operating income. However, no recognition for such recoveries relating to potential penalties has been made in these accounts as the future receipt of these is not yet determinable.
