These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
The company is a parent company that qualifies as a small group under the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. In accordance with Section 398 of the Act, the company has taken advantage of the exemption from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements.
After reviewing the Company's forecasts and projections, the director has reasonable assurance that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Turnover comprises rental income and the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of management services. Rental income is brought into account on an accruals basis and is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Turnover is shown net of value added tax.
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current 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.
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments.
Finance costs of borrowings are recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and included in interest payable and similar charges.
Investments in unlisted company shares are measured at cost less any provision for impairment.
Investment property is carried at fair value, derived from derived from current market prices for comparable real estate determined annually. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Tax payable on the director's loan is treated as a debtor and is released on repayment of the loan. If this loan is not repaid then the tax payable is to be released as a debtor and charged to the Income Statement on write off of the loan.
