| 1 | Accounting policies | |||||||
| Basis of preparation | ||||||||
| Exemption from preparing group accounts | ||||||||
| The company is a parent company that is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by virtue of section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 as the group qualifies as a small group. | ||||||||
| Going concern | ||||||||
| At 31 March 2026, the company had net liabilities of £9,133,539 (2025: £8,659,692). The company remains dependent on financial support from Johnston Estate Management Group Limited and other related parties to meet its obligations as they fall due. Johnston Estate Management Group Limited has confirmed its intention to continue providing financial support to the company and has undertaken not to seek repayment of existing balances for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. During the year the company entered into a long-term loan facility with Weatherbys Bank Limited of £8,500,000 which is repayable in ten years. The directors have reviewed the company's projected cash flows and financing requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and have considered the continued availability of support from related parties. Based on this assessment, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. |
||||||||
| Interest income | ||||||||
| Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. | ||||||||
| Finance costs | ||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||
| Investments | ||||||||
| Debtors | ||||||||
| Creditors | ||||||||
| Taxation | ||||||||
A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
||||||||
| Financial instruments | ||||||||
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 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 deducting all of its liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the balance sheet when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
||||||||
| Provisions | ||||||||
| Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. | ||||||||

| Investments valuation | ||||||||
| The directors have assessed the carrying value of the company's investments in subsidiaries as at 31 March 2026 and concluded that no reliable market valuation is available, as the subsidiaries are unquoted entities and there is no active market for these investments. Based on their assessment of the financial position and future prospects of the subsidiaries, no impairment is considered necessary. Accordingly, the investments are carried at cost. | ||||||||

| Other debtors | ||||||||
| The amounts owed by group undertakings principally relate to funding advanced to group companies for the acquisition and development of investment properties and to support the commencement of trading activities. The directors have reviewed the recoverability of these balances at the reporting date and, having regard to the underlying assets, business plans and expected future cash flows of the relevant entities, consider the balances to be fully recoverable. Accordingly, no impairment provision has been recognised. | ||||||||

| Bank loan | ||||||||
| During the year the company entered into a secured loan facility with Weatherbys Bank Limited. The facility comprises a term loan of £8,500,000 repayable ten years from drawdown. The loan is repayable on an interest-only basis throughout the term, with the principal balance repayable in full on the final repayment date. The loan is secured by legal charges over investment and development properties held within the group and is further supported by personal guarantees from the company's directors. | ||||||||
| Secured liability | ||||||||
| At 31 March 2026 the company had granted a debenture in favour of HSBC UK Bank plc comprising fixed and floating charges over the company's undertaking and assets. The charge remained registered at the reporting date and continues to provide security in connection with banking arrangements within the wider group. | ||||||||
