NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Fourth Property Co. Limited is a private 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.

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 as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Turnover
Turnover represents rents received.

Investment properties
The investment properties relate to properties held to earn rentals and for capital appreciation. The properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs.The properties are subsequently measured at fair value.

The investment property valuations are based on an open market value and carried out by the directors on a regular basis. Deferred tax and costs to realise property values are provided, where appropriate.

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.

Investments
Fixed asset investments are included at cost unless there is reasonable certainty that a reliable valuation can be made and fair value can be established.

Dividends
In order to present a true and fair view the company discloses as a liability the dividend declared and paid after the year end. This dividend is based on the results for the year and consequently the directors believe it is appropriate to account for it in the year it is earned. This is not in accordance with current UK GAAP which requires companies only to account for dividends when paid.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Change in accounting policy
Investments in unlisted shares have always been valued at cost due to the unreliability in establishing fair value which is in accordance with FRS 102 and UK GAAP.

However, the directors have recently embarked on a policy of selling properties as they become vacant, which has established reliable fair value to figures which can support the valuations used for revalued properties.

This in turn has affected share values of the unlisted investments that have been acquired. The directors are therefore reasonably certain that the value of shares held in connected property companies can be revalued and as such have revalued these investments to fair value.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 3 (2025 - 4 ) .
