Sidney Newton Limited is a private company limited by shares and is incorporated in England & Wales. The address of its registered office is Printing House, 66 Lower Road, Harrow, HA2 0DH.

The principal activity of the company during the year was leasing of properties.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of ​Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Company's functional and presentational currency is the Pound Sterling.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate, non-monetary items measured on a historical cost basis are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, and non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the rate at the date when the fair value was determined.

The Company​​​ operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company​​​​ pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company​​​​ has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown as accruals in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the Company​​​​ in independently administered funds.

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company ​operates​​ and generates​​ income.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost includes the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Subsequently, tangible fixed assets are measured using the cost model or the revaluation model. Under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Under the revaluation model, tangible fixed assets are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value on the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, provided that the fair value can be measured reliably. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed previously recognised gains, in which case excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation is calculated to allocate the depreciable amount of tangible fixed assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives on the following basis​:

If factors such as a change in how an asset is used, technological advancement, or changes in market prices indicate that the residual value or useful life of an asset has changed since the most recent balance sheet date, the Company reviews its previous estimates and, if current expectations differ, amends the residual value, amortisation method or useful life, accounting for this as a change in an accounting estimate.

Tangible fixed assets are derecognised on disposal, with the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount recognised in profit or loss.

Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's (or CGU's) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Non-financial assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each reporting date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.

Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by external valuers and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Investments in listed shares are remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with gains and losses on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss for the period.

Financial assets, other than investments, are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and subsequently held at cost less accumulated impairment, or at amortised cost using the effective interest method in the case of debt instruments meeting the criteria for recognition as basic financial instruments.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets are derecognised when:

Basic financial liabilities, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs.

A financial liability, where the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, is initially measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument as determined at initial recognition adjusted for transaction costs.

Basic financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, either by way of the contractual obligation having been discharged, cancelled or expired.

Per the Director's valuation, the value of the property has been estimated at £1,500,000 (2024: 1,500,000). 

If the freehold property had not been included at valuation, it would have been included under the historical cost convention as follows.

The 2025 valuations were made by the Director, as an estimation, on an open market value for existing use basis.
