Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England & Wales. The address of the registered office is Ort House, 147 Arlington Road, London, NW1 7ET.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the provisions of FRS 102, Section 1A, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

Under FRS102 Section 1A, advantage has been taken of disclosure requirements available not to publish a cash flow statement. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS102 Section 1A requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to make an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The company's liquidity position at the balance sheet date is set out in notes 7 to 9 of the financial statements and, the company owed an amount due to Lou Investments Limited in less than one year. The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the company which covers the 12 month period from the date of signing these financial statements and Lou Investments Limited has provided written confirmation that it will not call for repayment of the amount due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. On the basis of these forecasts, the company's balance sheet position and the written confirmation provided by Lou Investments Ltd, the directors have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its obligations and liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statments. Accordingly, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Turnover is recognised net of value added tax in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as follows:Rental income, service charge income and other income receivable from operating leases, net of lease incentives, is recognised evenly over the lease term except where an alternative basis represents the timing of the economic benefits to be derived from leases.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Taxation

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. 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 capital and reserves. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Investment property

Investment property comprises freehold land and buildings. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost which comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Valuations are carried out at each reporting date to measure investment property at fair value. Any gain or loss is calculated by reference to the fair value at the last reporting date and is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.Subsequent expenditure is included in the investment properties carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the year in which they are incurred.

Impairment

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Revaluation Reserve

The revaluation reserve represents the difference between the acquisition cost and carrying (fair) value of investment property net of taxation that would arise should the property be disposed at its carrying value at the balance sheet date. These reserves represent unrealised amounts and are non- distributable. The company maintains such reserves in order to differentiate between distributable and non-distributable reserves.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

Financial AssetsBasic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and investments in commercial paper, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party, or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.Financial LiabilitiesBasic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

4. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Inherent uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in differing outcomes when assets are realised or when liabilities are settled. Judgements In applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: Impairments Management considers external and internal sources of information such as market conditions, counterparty credit ratings and experience of recoverability to judge whether there is an indicator of impairment of an asset. A provision for impairment or non-recoverability of an asset is recognised / (reversed) where evidence indicates to management that the asset's recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount / (greater than its previously impaired carrying amount). Estimates Fair valuation of investment property The fair value of investment property is the directors' opinion of the estimated amount for which a property could exchange under an arm's length transaction at the Company's financial year end date. The directors, in forming their opinion, make a series of assumptions, which are typically market related such as investment yields and expected rental values, which are based on the directors' professional judgement, experience and market knowledge provided by external estate agents. There is an inherent degree of estimation uncertainty present in property valuations such that the net proceeds receivable on the future disposal of a property to a third party under an arm's length transaction within the next financial year may differ from the carrying amounts of properties presented

5. Employee numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to Nil (2024: Nil).
