NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Sydney & Glasgow Properties Limited (the "Company") registered at 1st Floor, Sackville House, 143-149 Fenchurch Street, London, EC3M 6BL is a private company limited by shares and incorporated and domiciled in the UK (England & Wales).
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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.
Judgements or estimates made by the directors in the application of these accounting policies that have a significant effect on the financial statements are discussed in note 3.
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A.7 from the requirement to provide a Statement of Cash Flows on the grounds that it is a small company.
As at 31 March 2025, the Company has net assets of £3,996,800 (2024: £4,041,598).
Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Basic financial instruments
|
Trade and other debtors / creditors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of instrument for a similar debt instrument.
Interest-bearing borrowings classified as basic financial instruments
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are recognised initially at cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition
i. investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the year that they arise; and
ii. no depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying the fair value model.
Independent professional valuations for investment properties are obtained by the directors annually, unless the Directors consider it appropriate to value the investment properties internally.
Turnover, which is stated net of VAT, consists of rental income earned from properties held for investment purposes. Rental income from investment property is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease.
Tax on the profit or loss 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 directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. The following timing difference is not provided for: differences between accumulated depreciation and tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset if and when all conditions for retaining the tax allowances have been met. Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences arising because certain types of income or expense are non-taxable or are disallowable for tax or because certain tax charges or allowances are greater or smaller than the corresponding income or expense.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. For investment property that is measured at fair value, deferred tax is provided at the rates and allowances applicable to the sale of the property. Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
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.
|
|
|
Interest receivable and interest payable
|
Interest payable and similar expenses includes interest payable using the effective interest method. Interest receivable and similar income include interest receivable on bank balances. Interest income and interest payable are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as they accrue, using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
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.
|
|
Judgement in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Critical accounting judgements in applying the company’s accounting policies:
In the course of preparing the financial statements, no judgements have been made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, other than those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that have had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Source of estimation uncertainty and judgements involving estimations:
The company does not have any key assumptions concerning the future, or other key sources of estimation uncertainty in the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Fair value of investment properties:
Notwithstanding this, the company’s investment property is a significant asset in the context of the Balance Sheet and investment properties are required to be recognised at their fair value at the Balance Sheet date. The directors determine fair value of the investment properties annually by assessing the property condition and is based on a valuation by external independent valuer, Avison Young.
|
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 2 (2024 - 4).
