The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements of the company have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which is dependant on the continued support of the ultimate parent undertaking. The director is satisfied that suitable facilities will continue to be made available for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and that the company will be able to meet its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:
Turnover represents amounts receivable during the period for rent and services, net of VAT.
Rent is recognised in th period the properties are occupied.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Basic financial instruments
|
The company only enters into transactions that result in basic financial instruments such as trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, cash at bank and in hand, and loans from related parties.
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade creditors, other creditors and loans from related parties are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade and other debtors.
Cash at bank and in hand comprise cash balances and call deposits
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable.
|
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
1) The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
2) Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 1 (2019 - 1).

Post balance sheet events
|
The global Covid-19 pandemic has had an effect on revenue. In the months of April 2020 to January 2021 the company has provided support to tenants through rent concessions (i.e. discounted rent).
On a month by month basis the rent concessions provided by the company from April 2020 to around October 2020 had been reducing, with the effect that revenue was gradually increasing through that period. From November 2020 onwards, as a result of the second wave of Covid-19 coupled with the Government imposed ‘tier’ levels of restrictions and ultimately through the Government imposition in December 2020 of a second national lockdown and in January 2021 of a third lockdown (which is in place at the date of these accounts, and the end of which is not yet known), the rent concessions given to tenants has again increased, resulting in a reduction of revenue.
It is, however, positive news that there are multiple Covid-19 vaccines now approved in the UK, and that the UK Government has to date been successful in both securing supplies of the vaccines and the rollout of vaccinations to the UK population. Accordingly it is hoped that as Spring and Summer 2021 approach that economic activity and outlook will improve, and once again rent concessions will steadily reduce as the year progresses.
Notwithstanding the impact of Covid-19 there also remains some activity in the letting market, and the company has entered into a new lease for one of its premises.
The Government in 2020 announced changes to the Planning Use Classes Order which came into effect on 1 September 2020, creating a new Use Class E (Commercial, business and service) which includes all of the current retail, restaurant, office, financial and professional services as well as other uses. This will provide a greatly increased degree of flexibility to the company's commercial lettings, which is expected to be significant benefit to those lettings going forward in particular as the company has a number of retail premises which will now qualify for the new Use class E.
Brexit is not anticipated to affect the company.

|
In their report, the auditors emphasised the following matter without qualifying their report:
The following emphasis of matter paragraph included in their report is reproduced below:
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company is reliant on the continues support of the ultimate parent undertaking. As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
