2.Accounting policies

|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the requirements and the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The presentational and functional currency is GBP. The financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also 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.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by the directors 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.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial instruments (continued)
|
Basic financial liabilities
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 the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The Company continues to incur trading losses and, at the balance sheet date, had net liabilities of £589,089 (2024: £12,190,043). The Company is in discussions with a number of potential tenants and prospective purchasers; however, there remains uncertainty regarding the timing and outcome of securing either a long-term tenant or a purchaser.
In light of this uncertainty, the directors have engaged with the Company’s participators and have prepared financial forecasts on the basis that the Company will continue to receive financial support from Belfast Harbour Commissioners and Titanic Office Developments Limited. Both Belfast Harbour Commissioners and Titanic Office Developments Limited have confirmed their intention to provide such financial support as is necessary to enable the Company to meet its financial commitments and obligations as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
On this basis, and having considered all relevant information, the directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. These judgements, estimates, and assumptions are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The most significant areas of estimation uncertainty and judgement applied, relates to the valuation of investment properties.
Valuation of Investment Properties
The fair value of the investment properties is determined by the directors and, periodically, by an external, professionally qualified valuer, at each reporting date. The valuation is based on market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties, adjusted to reflect the specific characteristics, such as location, condition, and current lease terms, of the property being valued.
The valuation methodology involves assumptions regarding future rental income, occupancy levels, capital expenditure, and yields, all of which are subject to uncertainty. Any changes in these assumptions could result in significant changes to the fair value of investment properties.

|
The Company has no employees other than the directors, who did not receive any remuneration (2024 - £NIL).

The Company holds a single investment property which at the balance sheet date is being actively marketed for sale. The asset is accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
During the year, the directors reassessed the fair value of the property and recognised an upward revaluation of £15.32m, resulting in a carrying value of £42m at the year end.
The fair value has been determined by the directors, taking into account available market evidence and recent expressions of interest received in respect of the property, together with prevailing market conditions for comparable properties. In forming their assessment, the directors have exercised judgement in evaluating the relevance and reliability of such information and in estimating the price that would be achieved in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.
Given the nature of the property and current market conditions, the valuation is inherently subjective and involves a degree of estimation uncertainty. A change in assumptions could result in a materially different valuation.
No external valuation was obtained at the reporting date.
