Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 May 2025

1.Accounting policies
Statutory information
The company is a private company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland including Section 1A Small Entities.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A of FRS 102 – The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 applicable to small entities. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment property to fair value.
Turnover policy
Turnover represents rental income receivable from investment properties during the year, excluding VAT, and is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided on all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date, including differences arising from the revaluation of investment property. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates expected to apply when the timing differences reverse (currently 25%).
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment is used in the company's principal activity for the production and supply of goods or for administrative purposes and is stated in the balance sheet under the historic cost model. This model requires the assets to be stated at cost less amounts in respect of depreciation and less any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value (which is the expected amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life), over the useful economic life of the respective asset as follows:
Investments
Investment properties are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise. No depreciation is charged on investment properties. Where the fair value cannot be determined reliably without undue cost or effort, the property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments, including debtors, creditors, and inter-company loans, are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Related parties
Transactions with related parties are disclosed where material. Balances are shown at year-end at transaction value.
