Basis of preparation

Going concern
At the balance sheet date the company had net current liabilities of £748,707 (2024 - £1,988,639). Included in loans and borrowings is a term bank facility of £484,958 (2024 - £1,784,744), where in the comparative the bank loans were shown as less than one year due to the timing of refinancing.

Revenue recognition
Turnover represents rental charges received by the company, as well as recharged costs to tenants.
Turnover is recognised when the company fulfils its contractual obligations to customers by supplying
services and excludes value added tax. Turnover is recognised on an accruals basis.
Interest receivable is recognised on an accruals basis.
Tax
Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Investment property
Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Cumulative movements in fair value, adjusted for attributable deferred tax, are shown as an 'other reserve' on the balance sheet. This reserve is non distributable.

Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Loans from associated undertakings;
• Bank loans; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Except for bank loans, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Bank loans are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Critical judgements and estimation uncertainty
In applying the company’s accounting policies, 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. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following areas are where the Directors have applied judgement in the preparation of the financial statements:
Valuation of investment properties (note 4)
As described within the accounting policies, the investment properties are held at the balance sheet date at their fair value. The directors has applied their professional knowledge of the sector, coupled with discussions with other professionals in evaluating opportunities in order to derive this fair value. A valuation exercise was undertaken as at 30 June 2025 which is reflected in these financial statements.
At the balance sheet date the carrying value of investment properties was £3,425,000 (2024 - £2,750,000).
