New Leaf UK Developments Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Phoenix House, Kingfisher Way, Silverlink Business Park, Wallsend, Tyne & Wear, NE28 9NX.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The company participates in a group cash pool and is reliant on the ability of its ultimate parent company, Norham Holdings Group Limited, to provide it with sufficient funds to meet all of its liabilities as they fall due. The directors have no reason to believe that the ability of the ultimate parent company is unable to continue with the intra-group finance arrangements.
Based on the group’s and ultimate parent company's loan facilities and large portfolio of investment properties held, the directors have a reasonable expectation that sufficient working capital will be available to the company in order to allow the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. On this basis, the directors of this company consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements and, as a result, the financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company was unable to continue as a going concern.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. 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, 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.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.
