NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
GCP Social Housing 1 Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales, registered number 09337661. The registered office address is 24 Savile Row, London, W1S 2ES.
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 FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of 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 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).
These financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £'000.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Compliance with accounting standards
|
The financial statements have been prepared using FRS102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the republic of Ireland, including the disclosure and presentation requirements of Section 1A, applicable to small companies. There were no material departures from this standard.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which means that the Company can be expected to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation, the Directors have taken into account the key risks of the business. In doing so the Directors have considered the Company's business model and availability of cash resources.
The Company's loan debtor is in the process of disposing of its social housing assets for a price which is less than the carrying value of the related loan balance. As a result, an impairment charge has been recorded in the year. Refer to note 5 for details. Based on the impairment recorded, the Company will have insufficient cashflows to fund full repayment of the outstanding creditor loan.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company has received a letter of support from its lender confirming it will not demand repayment of the outstanding loan to the detriment of the Company.
On this basis, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Turnover comprises interest receivable from the provision of loan financing. Interest receivable is recognised over the loan period using the effective interest method, which takes into account related fees and transaction costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Interest payable is recognised using the effective interest method, which takes into account related fees and transaction costs. Interest payable is included within cost of sales as it is directly attributable to the interest receivable included in revenue.
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.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs 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 receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
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 liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments 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 payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. 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 payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables 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.

Financial instruments (continued)
|
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
|
|
Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect expected reported income, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates.
Other loans
Other loans are held at amortised cost which requires the Directors to forecast the expected loan debtor cashflows receivable over the life of the loans. Interest income is recognised annually at an effective rate in the statement of income and retained earnings based on the forecast cashflows.
Each year end the Directors update their forecasts and recognise any difference between actual and forecast cashflows as an adjustment to the effective interest income. Forecasts require an estimation as to future inflation rates, based on current market data, given the loans are subject to quarterly indexation. Actual rates will vary from forecast over the loan lifetime, rendering the effective interest rate calculated an estimate subject to these variations. If actual loan cashflows over the life of the loans were to be considerably different to the Directors forecasts there could be a material impact on the carrying value of other loans and the associated interest income.
The Company has no employees other than the Directors, who did not receive any remuneration (2024 - £NIL).

Impairment of other loans
|
|
|
|
|
Due to changes in the future cashflows expected to be generated by the Company's loan debtor, the Directors' have estimated that the recoverable value is less than the carrying value. An impairment charge has therefore been recognised in respect of other loans of £7,788,000 (2024 - £Nil).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Company's immediate and ultimate parent undertaking is GCP Intermediary Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales.
The smallest and largest group of undertakings into which the results of the Company are consolidated is headed by GCP intermediary Limited.
The consolidated financial statements of GCP Intermediary Holdings Limited may be obtained from Companies House or from its registered office address is 24 Savile Row, London, W1S 2ES.
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 was unqualified.
|
|
In their report, the auditors emphasised the following matter without qualifying their report:
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which sets out the position of the Company with respect to going concern. The Company's loan debtors are in the process of disposing of their social housing assets for a price which is less than the carrying value of the outstanding loan receivable balance, which has necessitated an impairment in the period. This is expected to impact the ability of the Company to fund full repayment of the creditor loans outstanding. As stated in note 2.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
|
The audit report was signed on 19 August 2026 by Thomas Clark ACA (Senior Statutory Auditor) on behalf of Wellden Turnbull Limited.
