| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Oliver Garratt Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements 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 compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain |
| critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the |
| Company's accounting policies |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the |
| Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the |
| consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised: |
| Rendering of services |
| Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are |
| provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following |
| conditions are satisfied: |
| - | The amount of turnover can be measured reliably; |
| - | It is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract; |
| - | The stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and |
| - | The costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less any provision for impairment. |
| Investment property |
| Investment properties are carried at fair value based on director's valuations. This is in accordance Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', which requires that such property be included in the financial statements at their open market value at the balance sheet date. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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. |
| Debtors |
| Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are |
| measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised |
| cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty |
| on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no |
| more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known |
| amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of |
| financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other |
| third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
| Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, |
| are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other |
| consideration expected to be paid or received. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each |
| reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an |
| impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
| Creditors |
| Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank |
| loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at |
| amortised cost using the effective interest method. |

| Foreign currency translation |
| Transactions and balances |
| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange |
| rates at the dates of the transactions. |
| At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the |
| transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate |
| when fair value was determined. |
| Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the |
| translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign |
| currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as |
| qualifying cash flow hedges. |
| Dividends |
| Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are |
| recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at |
| an annual general meeting. |
| PENSIONS |
| Defined contribution pension plan |
| The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a |
| pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the |
| contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. |
| The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid |
| are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately |
| from the Company in independently administered funds. |
| Provisions for liabilities |
| Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive |
| obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made. |
| Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking |
| into account the related risks and uncertainties. |
| Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss. |
| 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 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 2025 valuations were made by R Gillman, a director of the company, on an open market value for existing use basis. |
| In making his assessment of market values for the investment properties as at 31 March 2025, the |
| director had due regard to previous professional valuations undertaken to determine the property values and local market conditions and market value assessments as at 31 March 2025. As a result of his assessment he determined there was no need to amend the valuations of the properties as per their carrying values as at 31st March 2024. |

| 11. | RESERVES |
| Capital redemption reserve |
| The capital redemption reserve is a non-distributable reserve and represents paid up share capital. |
| Investment property revaluation reserve |
| This non-distributable reserve is used to record the difference between: |
| 1. The open market values of the company's investment properties provided previously; and |
| 2. The deferred tax liability at the balance sheet date relating to these investment properties. |
| In the year ended 31 March 2020 the company had elected to use previous external professional |
| valuations of the properties as their deemed costs at the date of transition to FRS102. The directors |
| believed the cost of undertaking annual valuation exercises would cause undue cost and effort and |
| therefore have decided to retain previous external professional valuations as deemed costs and to not undertake regular revaluations. |
| In the year ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2022 the company had elected to use valuations of the properties undertaken by R Gillman, a director. |
| In the year ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025 the company elected to use valuations of the |
| properties undertaken on 5 July 2023 by R Gillman, a director. The director confirms the accounts show a true and fair view and that the market values are reasonable for all investment properties. |
| 12. | ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY |
| None of the shareholders hold over 50% of the share capital or voting rights in the company and it is |
| therefore the opinion of the directors that there is no controlling party. |
