| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| GDM Holdings Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the ability of the company |
| to continue its activities for the foreseeable future, being a period of not less than twelve months from the |
| approval of these accounts. |
| The directors, having considered all the information available, are confident that the company has adequate reserves and resources to continue its operational activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis continues to be appropriate for the preparation of the annual financial statements. |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about GDM Holdings Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
| Revenue recognition |
| Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for rent on the Company's freehold investment properties, rental of personalised number plates owned by the Company, and interest receivable from short term bridging finance. |
| Revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which rents and interest are receivable. |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
| Investment property |
| Investment Properties are shown at fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit that arises from a change in fair value is recognised in the income statement, net of deferred tax. On an annual basis this surplus or deficit is transferred from retained profits into a separate, non-distributable reserve called the "Revaluation Reserve". |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Other investments |
| Personalised Number Plates held as investments are stated at cost less provision for any diminution in value. |
