Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
St Aldates Investments Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 03117395 . The registered office is North Lodge, Hawkesyard, Rugeley, WS15 1PS.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
At the time of approving the financial statements the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing financial statements.
2.3. 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, and loans to related parties.
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.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset were it sold at the Balance Sheet date.
2.4. Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at current market value. 
2.5. Group accounts
The financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. The company and its subsidiary comprise a small sized company and a small group. It has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions provided by section 248 of the Companies Act 1985 not to prepare group accounts.
3. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: NIL (2024: NIL)
