NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY STATEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS

 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2013

 

 

1

Accounting policies

 

(a)

Basis of accounting

 

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) which comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) together with interpretations of the International Accounting Standards and Standing Interpretations Committee approved by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) that remain in effect, and to the extent that they have been adopted by the European Union (EU). These financial statements therefore comply with IFRSs as adopted by the EU.

 

 

 

 

 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is pounds sterling because that is the

currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

 

 

 

 

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investment properties. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

 

 

 

 

 

The directors are of the opinion that the Group is engaged in a single segment of business, being investment business.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that may affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors and are reviewed on a continual basis.

 

The critical judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a material effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements for both the current and the next financial years are discussed below:

 

 

- reliance upon the work undertaken at 31 March 2013 by an independent professional qualified valuer, in assessing the fair value of the Company's investment properties.

 

 

- consideration of the potential risks and rewards of ownership in accordance with IAS 17 'Leases' for all properties leased to tenants. The directors have determined that all such leases are operating leases.

 

 

- an assessment of the likelihood that potential historic tax liabilities will arise in determining the deferred tax liabilities and charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Revenue, expenses and interest payable

 

 

Rent receivable from investment properties under operating leases is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the lease on a straight line basis. Lease incentives, where material, are spread evenly over the term of the lease.

 

 

Interest receivable and payable and administrative expenses are calculated on an accruals basis.

 

(d)

Taxation

 

 

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.

 

 

 

 

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

 

 

 

 

 

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 Statement of Comprehensive Income except where it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

 

 

 

 

(e)

Dividends payable

 

 

Interim dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are paid as no further approval is required in respect of such dividends. Final dividends are recognised as a liability only after they have been approved by shareholders in general meeting.

 

 

 

 

(f)

Investment Properties

 

 

The Company leases out all of its properties on operating leases. A property held under an operating lease is classified and accounted for as an investment property.

 

An investment property is a property that is held to generate rental income and for capital appreciation.

 

 

 

 

 

Freehold investment properties are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given, including transaction costs associated with the acquisition of the investment property. After initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, with movements in the unrealised gains and losses included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and ultimately recognised in the Revaluation Reserve. Fair values are established by half-yearly professional valuation on an open market basis by Jones Lang LaSalle Limited, Chartered Surveyors and Valuers and in accordance with the RICS Valuation Standards. The determination of fair value by Jones Lang LaSalle is supported by market evidence. It is not more heavily based on other factors because of the nature of the properties and the availability of comparable market data.

 

 

 

 

(g)

Cash and cash equivalents

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits held with banks.

 

 

 

 

(h)

Non-current liabilities

 

 

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received, less issue costs where applicable. After initial recognition, all interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on settlement. The costs of arranging any interest-bearing loans are capitalised and amortised over the life of the loan.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

 

 

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standard and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective;

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).

 

 

- Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).

- IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements (early adoption permitted) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).

- Amendments to IAS 32 - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial liabilities (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014).

 

 

The Directors anticipate that adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material financial impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company concludes however that certain additional disclosures may be necessary on their application.
