The financial statements of NREA 55 St James's Street 1 Limited (registered number:
|
Yutaka Hayasaka
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial period, unless otherwise stated.
NREA 55 St James's Street 1 Limited (the 'Company') is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The Company was incorporated on 19 February 2024. The address of the Company's registered office is 16 Great Queen Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2B 5AH.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, and in accordance with ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council, including Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102), and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements have been presented in Pounds Sterling (£), this being the functional currency of the Company and currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
The prior year comparatives are a shorter accounting period from 19 February 2024 to 31 December 2024.
The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. Further details are provided in the notes to the financial statements.
The directors have made an assessment in preparing these financial statements as to whether the Company is a going concern and have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The business is earning rental income which the directors believe will be sufficient to meet the day to day cash requirement for the company. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this going concern assessment, the directors have given consideration to current performance, market conditions, and cash flow forecasts.
Management has prepared a budget covering the period to 31 December 2027. Furthermore, a parent guarantee is in place for the period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements, confirming it will make financial support available if necessary to ensure the Company can operate.
Group accounts exemption s401
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 401 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The financial statements present information about the Company as an individual entity and not about its group.
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nomura Real Estate Asia Pte. Ltd. a company incorporated in Singapore whose registered office address is 8 Marina Boulevard, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, # 28-04, Singapore 018981.
The smallest group for which consolidated financial statements are drawn up is headed by Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. whose registered office address is Shinjuku Nomura Building, 1-26-2, Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 163-0566, Japan.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the period in which they arise on monetary items.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
In December 2021, the OECD released a framework for Pillar Two Model Rules which will introduce a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% applicable to multinational enterprise groups with global revenue over €750 million.
The legislation implementing the rules in the UK was substantively enacted on 20 June 2023 and will apply to the Company from this financial year onwards. The Company continues to review this legislation and monitor developments.
We do not expect that the 15% global minimum tax rate would affect materially the amount of tax the Company pays. The Company has applied the temporary exception in relation to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the Pillar Two rules.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The company is within the scope of these rules and estimates that there should be no top up tax required. The Company continues to review this legislation and monitor developments.
Administrative expenses are recognised by the Company as they are incurred on an accruals basis. The Company’s administrative expenses include all of the operational costs of running the business including premises costs, together with other costs such as travel costs, marketing costs, information technology costs and legal and professional fees.
Cost of sales are recognised by the Company as they are incurred on an accruals basis. The Company’s cost of sales expenses include asset management fees.
The fair value is determined annually by external valuers and derived from current market rent and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary, for any difference in nature, location or condition of the specific property.
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
**Key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
**Establishing fair value of investment properties**
Fair value is determined by Jones Lang LaSalle Limited, external Chartered Surveyors, who measure the investment property on the basis of fair value in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Global Standard 2025.
