Directors responsibilities statement
Year ended 28 September 2025
The directors are responsible for preparing the directors report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 28 September 2025
1. General information
The Company is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England & Wales. The address of the registered office is 2 Tolherst Court, Turkey Mill Business Park, Ashford Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 5SF.The company is a residents' management company and holds tenant service charge monies on trust in accordance with section 42 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the provisions of FRS 102, Section 1A, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements and confirm there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Changes in accounting estimates
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.The useful economic lives and residual values of tangible assets are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on new information or new developments and the physical condition of the assets. See note 5 for the carrying amount of the tangible assets, and Depreciation note below for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.
Income and Expenditure
Income represents ground rents, flat rents and other charges receivable. Income is recognised in the financial statements as it becomes receivable. Expenditure is recognised in the financial statements as it becomes due and includes VAT where applicable as the company cannot reclaim it. Service charge income and expenditure is not recognised in the company's financial statements. Such monies are collected and expended by the company in a trustee capacity on behalf of the tenants.
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to surplus or deficit.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Land and Buildings - over 15 years or over the length of the lease
Fittings fixtures and equipment - 15 % straight line
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Investment property
Investment property, being property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, is measured using the fair value model and stated at its fair value as at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the income and expenditure account. As accumulated fair value gains in respect of investment properties are not realised they are transferred to a revaluation reserve which is separately presented in the balance sheet.
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date for tangible assets, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event; it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the Balance Sheet and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised in finance costs in profit or loss in the period it arises.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Service Charge Funds
Service charge contributions paid by tenants towards the property costs but unspent as at the reporting date constitute service charge assets which are held in trust by the company for tenants' benefit in accordance with Section 42 of the Landlord and Tenants Act 1987. As the company has no beneficial interest in these funds they are not recognised as an asset in the company's financial statements.
