1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

SJS (4) Limited is a private limited company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. The company's principal place of business is 36 Park Cross Street, Leeds, LS1 2QH.

The functional and presentation currency for the company is pound sterling (£). All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest (£), unless otherwise stated.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern

The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Group Strategic Report, prepared by the company's holding company, St James Securities Group Limited. The Group Strategic Report further describes the financial position of the Group, risks and uncertainties.

During the financial year and up to the date of signing these accounts, St James Securities Group Limited and its subsidiary companies, including SJS (4) Limited, has continued to spend the majority of its time and financial resources working on its £230m regeneration of the Becketwell area of Derby City Centre.

In another Group member, SJS (4) Limited, the £45.8m 3,500 capacity Arena for Derby City Council completed in early February 2025. The development was delivered within the fixed price contract agreed with Derby City Council. At completion, the Arena was leased to and is operated by ASM Global. ASM Global is the world's leading venue management company, operating the likes of the OVO Arena Wembley, AO Arena Manchester, First Direct Arena Leeds amongst many others. The Becketwell Arena has been named as "Vaillant Live".

In another Group member, SJS (Derby) Limited, the £37.375m 259 unit Build to Rent (BTR) apartment building for Grainger Land & Regeneration Limited completed in July 2023.

In SJS (4) Limited, the £1.8m Public Square at Becketwell, which was built for Derby City Council completed in July 2023.

All three developments were delivered within budget, despite the cost pressures from inflation and the impact of the war in Ukraine.

Given the wider economic pressures, particularly in respect of further inflation, this time as a result of the conflict in Iran, demand to develop further phases at Becketwell remains subdued

The property assets and land options that have previously been acquired by SJS (4) Limited, SJS (2) Limited and SJS (Derby) Limited, to ensure the development and completion of the Becketwell regeneration, will be utilised in the future. The income generated from these assets has ensured that 91.8% of the Group's work in progress property assets are income producing until they are developed. This income far exceeds the holding costs, providing a trading surplus to the Group and distributable to our Funding Partner.

We still remain confident that the regeneration of the Becketwell area of Derby will be delivered within the next 5-6 years.

Going concern (continued)

The Funding and Development Partnership with Peveril Securities Limited and its Building Contractor owner, Bowmer & Kirkland Limited continues to thrive. Furthermore, the loans that St James Securities Group Limited has advanced to its subsidiaries are at parity with the remaining loans that Peveril Securities Limited has outstanding with St James (Becketwell) Limited. While ever the loan parity continues, interest is not charged by Peveril Securities Limited on the remaining loan balances.

The Funding and Development Partnership, together with the associated benefits of working with Bowmer & Kirkland Limited as building contractor, will continue to ensure the successful delivery of future phases of the Becketwell development.

When making their assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern, the directors acknowledge that uncertainties do exist, as reported in the Group's Strategic Report. However, after considering the above, the directors of SJS (4) Limited have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by the company, net of value added tax and trade discounts. In the case of long term contracts turnover is calculated as the proportion of total expected amounts recoverable for each contract.

Other operating income

Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.

Stocks

Stocks relate to the land and work in progress associated with the regeneration development in Derby City Centre. Work in progress is valued on the basis of direct costs plus attributable overheads based on normal level of activity.

Provision is made for any foreseeable losses where appropriate.

Long term contracts

Profit on long term contracts is taken as the work is carried out, if the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The profit is calculated on a prudent basis, to reflect the proportion of work carried out at the year end, by recording the turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. Turnover is calculated as the proportion of total expected amounts recoverable for each contract. Profits derived from variations on contracts are recognised only when they have been accepted by the customer. Full provision is made for losses on contracts in the year in which they are first foreseen.

Financial instruments

The company has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.

Financial assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

The company has no 'Other financial assets'.

Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cashflow from the asset expire or are settled or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.

Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and hire purchase contracts, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

The company has no 'Other financial liabilities'.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

8.	CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is a party to certain intercompany loan facilities advanced to St James (Becketwell) Limited.

Peveril Securities Limited and St James Securities Group Limited hold debentures over all the assets of St James (Becketwell) Limited pursuant to Facilities Agreements dated 5 October 2021.

As at the balance sheet date, the amounts outstanding under these facilities were:

Peveril Securities Limited – £766,373 (2024: £786,373)

St James Securities Group Limited – £766,373 (2024: £786,373)

The facilities were advanced in prior periods in connection with development projects undertaken in Derby. Security provided under the arrangements includes charges over certain property assets held within the group. Whilst these assets are intended to form part of future development activity, they are currently income-producing on an interim basis pending redevelopment. As at the reporting date, no active development projects remain ongoing and the facilities are contractually repayable on demand, although no formal demand for repayment has been made.

Pursuant to an agreement between Peveril Securities Limited and St James Securities Group Limited, no interest accrues on the respective loan balances for so long as the outstanding amounts to each lender remain equivalent. No interest has been charged in the current or prior year.

The Company considers that no outflow of resources is probable in respect of this contingent liability at the reporting date.
