Revenue from sales of retirement living units is recognised upon signature of the completion agreement. This is when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the cost incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Retirement living units are sold on a long leasehold basis.

Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis exclusive of Value Added Tax. Rental income also takes into account rent free periods offered to tenants, the effects of which are spread over the term of the lease.

Revenue recognition and deferred income

In respect of initial and subsequent sales of retirement living units, each tenant enters into a long term leasehold  agreement which includes a commitment to pay a community facility fee to the company, to meet the operating expenses of services provided during the period of ownership including lease transfer costs at the end of the tenancy.  This fee is calculated by reference to a variable percentage of selling price at the end of the tenancy, which increases depending on the number of years of ownership, up to a pre-determined cap. 

Given the contingent timing of the event, together with the uncertainty over future selling price and the variability of the percentage to be applied, such revenue cannot be quantified with reasonable certainty at the beginning of the tenancy and accordingly is accounted for at the end.  Each tenant may elect to pay an upfront, fixed purchase fee in place of the community facility fee at the beginning of the tenancy; for consistency of revenue recognition these purchase fees are also deferred until the end of the tenancy.

Freehold investment property, which represents a completed care home held for use in an operating lease, is included in the balance sheet at its market value and is not depreciated.

Development property is measured at its purchase or construction price including related legal, professional and consultancy expenditure and any irrecoverable VAT. The value is reviewed at the balance sheet date and any permanent diminution in value is provided for in the profit or loss account.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and represent cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies, 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and 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. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

During the current and preceding accounting periods, the average monthly number of staff employed by the company was nil.

An independent valuation of the investment property was made as at 18 July 2024 by Cushman & Wakefield. It is the opinion of the director that the carrying value stated above continues to represent a fair reflection of the market value of the property at the balance sheet date.

The bank loan is repayable in quarterly instalments with a bullet repayment in June 2026, and interest is charged at 2.8% plus base rate. The director is confident the bullet repayment due June 2026 will be refinanced.

The bank loan is secured by way of a debenture incorporating a fixed and floating charge covering the property and undertaking of the group headed by Battersea Care Home Holdings Limited.
