Vidham Properties Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 61-63 High Bridge, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, NE1 6BX.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. On the basis that the company continues to dispose of the investment properties the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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.

Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The fair value of the investment property has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out by the directors. The valuation was made on an open market value basis by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.

The company has a number of individual bank loans each of which is secured by a fixed charge over individual rental properties owned by the company. All of the directors have given a personal guarantee in respect of these loans which amount in total to £ 1,217,924 (2020: £1,217,924).

During the year the company received a bounce-back loan of £18,672 (2020: £20,000) which is unsecured.

Investment properties are measured at the balance sheet date at fair value and the surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account in accordance with the companies accounting policies.

However, any surplus credited to the profit and loss account is not distributable as a dividend until the property is sold. The non distributable fair valuation movement which arises from measuring Investment property at fair value and is initially included within the profit and loss account has been transferred to a non distributable reserve which is disclosed separately on the Balance Sheet.

Interest free loans have been granted by the company to its directors as follows:
