NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Copse Hill Estate Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The company holds the freehold title to land (communal gardens) surrounding 38 townhouses known as Copse Hill Estate. The freehold title to each townhouse and its footprint is held by the respective homeowner. Under a Scheme of Arrangement between the company and the homeowners, made under Section 19 of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967, the operations of the company comprise the maintenance of the communal gardens and the company is empowered to require homeowners to act according to provisions of the scheme relating to the estate's general appearance and to pay their proportionate share of all costs incurred in the operations and general management of the estate. |
The company's sole source of income is from fees paid by the estate's homeowners and under its Memorandum of Association the company is obliged to apply all its income and profits for the benefit of its objects and may not distribute any portion of its income and profits to its members. Under the company's Articles of Association shares may only be issued to homeowners on the estate and shareholders ceasing to be homeowners have no voting rights and are not eligible to be directors. |
The directors of the company have considered Technical Release TR03-11 'Accounting for Service Charges' and, due to the restrictions imposed by the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association and the common relationship between the company's shareholders and the estate's homeowners (more fully described in Note 11 'Related Party Disclosures'), are of the opinion that to split the company's financial statements into those relating to the service charge element and those relating to the company is neither practicable nor meaningful. The directors believe that these accounts comply in every significant respect with the substance of the accounting requirements and disclosures recommended by the release and that they show a true and fair view of the company's activities. |
Turnover |
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue represents service charges receivable from homeowners. Interest is charged on unpaid service fees at a rate of 5% per annum. |
Tangible fixed assets |
The company's interest in common ground is not depreciated. |
Taxation |
The company is chargeable to corporation tax on its investment income on the basis that it is not carrying out a trade or if there is an aspect of trading that the trading would be between the company and its members and the mutual trading exemptions would apply. |
Impairment |
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |

8. | RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES |
The company's share capital is held, in equal part, by the directors and others comprising all 38 homeowners on the estate; a 100% common ownership. All homeowners are subject to the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement and pay an annual amount sufficient to reimburse the company for costs incurred in its operations and any general management costs. |
Because of the common relationship between the shareholders and the homeowners an arms-length 'management fee', per se, cannot be determined and therefore none is charged by the company. However, the annual reimbursement paid by the homeowners is increased sufficiently to cover the company's direct expenses. These direct expenses include both company statutory costs and a share of other expenses, such as the cost of general meetings, where the exact split between the company and homeowner elements is not clear. In total these direct company expenses are negligible as the directors personally manage the operations and give of their services to the company without remuneration. |
