The notes on pages 3 to 7 form part of these financial statements.
Mansfield Road Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Courtenay Group, 73 Cornhill, London, United Kingdom, EC3V 3QQ.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The company reported a loss for the year of £TBC (2025: Loss £16,581) and at the balance sheet date had net liabilities of £TBC (2025: £21,986). The directors have received confirmation that a group entity will continue to provide the necessary funding and not seek to demand repayment of any amounts advanced for a period of twelve months following the signing of these financial statements. Thus the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the period ended 31 January 2026.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
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.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
The company’s commercial and residential freehold and leasehold interests are primarily held to earn rentals and for capital appreciation over the longer term. Consequently, the directors have determined that it is most appropriate to classify them as investment properties, which are required to be carried at fair value on an ongoing basis.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
The nature of the company’s investment property interests is such that their fair value is determined by using valuation techniques that involve the use of significant inputs. These include assumptions about rental income and rent yields. The nature of these inputs is that there is a range of reasonably plausible alternatives that may be used. When determining the choice of assumptions, the directors have to exercise judgment about those assumptions that are most likely to be appropriate, having regard to each property’s future income-earning potential and yields.
There were no employees other than the directors of the company.
The fair value of the investment property has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out at 31 January 2026 by the directors with reference to advice taken from Strettons, a firm of Chartered Surveyors, who are not connected with the company. The valuation was made on an open market value basis by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.
In the prior year, the company received a dilapidations receipt of £135,000 following the termination of a lease. The company intends to use these funds to undertake repairs and reinstatement works on the property and release the balance to match the associated costs incurred. At the year-end the full £135,000 remained in other creditors.
Included within profit and loss account reserves are distributable reserves of £nil (2025: £nil).
