Significant accounting policies
The company's financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis. The financial statements comprise the unaudited financial statements of the company up to 31 December each year, and are stated in pound sterling, the company's functional and presentational currency.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below, these policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Going concern basis
The directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is an expectation that the Company, with the support of its shareholders, has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being at least twelve months from the date of the financial statements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as set out in the going concern section of the Directors' Report.
Turnover
Turnover comprises of rental income received during the period.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date 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.
Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Investment properties
Investment properties are measured at fair value annually with any change recognised in the profit and loss account. Unrealised gains or losses (net of related deferred tax) are transferred from retained earnings to a separate revaluation reserve.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation as a result of a past event which it is more probable than not will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.
