Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Griffiths Commercial Investments Limited (registered number:
|
George Griffiths
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Griffiths Commercial Investments Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is Ff58 Winslade House Winslade Park, Manor Drive, Clyst St. Mary, Exeter, EX5 1FY, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The directors have assessed the Statement of Financial Position and likely future cash flows at the date of approving these financial statements. The directors note that the business has net current liabilities of £1,825,432. The Company is supported through loans from the directors. The directors have confirmed that the loan facilities will continue to be available for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and the directors will continue to support the Company. Given the current position, the directors believe that any foreseeable debts can be met for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Where material misstatements are found in the comparative information, the prior year figures are restated to aid comparability.
Turnover is recognised when the significant risks and rewards are considered to have been transferred to the customer.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.

Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Statement of Financial Position date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement as described below.
The fair value is determined annually by external valuers and derived from current market rent and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary, for any difference in nature, location or condition of the specific property.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
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.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Balance Sheet when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the Statement of Financial Position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
The accounting profit recognised on the intragroup transfer of investment property in the prior year has been reallocated from the profit and loss account to other reserves. Other reserves represent non distributable reserves.

Valuation
A full market valuation of investment property was completed by Symonds & Sampson at the Statement of Financial Position date. As a result of the valuation a number of properties prior period impairments were reversed. The fair value of the Group’s residential investment property at 31 December 2025 have been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried out on that date by external valuers having appropriate relevant professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued. The valuations performed which conform to the Valuations Standards of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and with the International Valuations Standards (IVS) 2013 were arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. The comparison approach was used for all residential properties which involved reviewing recent market evidence from the sales of similar properties during the period.
For commercial investment property, the yield methodology was used which involved applying market derived capitalisation yields to current and market derived future income streams with appropriate adjustments for income voids arising from vacancies or rent free periods. These capitalisation yields and future income streams are derived from comparable property and leasing transactions.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption available under FRS 102 S1A.C.35 to not disclose transactions with other entities within a wholly owned group.
During the period the directors maintained a current account with the company. At the period end the company owed the directors £1,810,534 (2024: £2,066,535). Interest was charged at 5%pa until September 2024. After September 2024 this balance was interest free.
