Restated 2024 accounts
During the year ended 31 January 2025, an error was identified in the accounting treatment of fair value movements relating to investment property in the prior year’s financial statements.
In the financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2024, the fair value gain on investment property was incorrectly recognised through the revaluation reserve rather than through the profit and loss account, as required by FRS 102 Section 16 – Investment Property. Under FRS 102, changes in the fair value of investment property must be recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
As a result, the comparative figures for the year ended 31 January 2024 have been restated to correct this error. The impact of the restatement is as follows:
The revaluation reserve as at 31 January 2024 has been reduced by £320,256.
Retained earnings as at 31 January 2024 have been reduced by £28,249.
Profit for the year ended 31 January 2024 has been increased by £228,731.
Deferred tax liability for the year ended 31 January 2024 has increased by £28,249.
The accounting policies and procedures have been reviewed to ensure that future fair value movements of investment property are correctly accounted for in accordance with FRS 102.
