1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Turnover

Turnover represents the fair value of rental income receivable, excluding value added tax, once the income and related costs incurred can be reliably measured, and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company.

Investment properties

Investment properties are stated at fair value and gains/losses are recognised in the Income Statement. Deferred tax is provided on these gains/losses at the corporation tax rates and applicable allowances expected to apply when the property is sold.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Rental income

The company receives rental income under operating leases and other agreements. The income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term or period of agreement. The fair value of assets used to generate this income is disclosed in the note to fixed asset investments. The managing agents monitor and control the general repairs and maintenance of properties to ensure applicable contractual obligations are fulfilled.
