GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
The Group has continued to trade in the principal activity of the sale of residential properties following the acquisition of land and building of residential properties in prior years.
Following the performance in 2020 (profit before tax: £1,384,191), the Group has continued to make a profit before tax, this being £440,602 for 2021.
2020 might be best described as an unprecedented year, in which we witnessed the United Kingdom (the “UK”) withdrawing from the European Union (the “EU”), and the impact of Covid-19 on the UK property sector, the impact of which continued to be felt into 2021.
However, with the extension of the Government’s emergency Stamp Duty Land Tax (‘SDLT’) temporary reduced rate (a residential property purchased between 8 July 2020 to 30 June 2021, a buyer only starts to pay SDLT on the amount that he or she pays for the property above £500,000) which ended on 30 June, sales were encouraging, with few residential units left to sell at the 2021-year end.
All remaining residential units were all sold in 2022.

MONITORING AND MANAGING RISK
The directors understand that in order to generate a return it is necessary to accept a level of risk. The key is to ensure these risks remain within acceptable levels agreed by the Board. We believe that our structure allows us not just to identify, measure and manage risk, but also to respond quickly where opportunities are identified.
The Group monitors and manages risks and uncertainties in the following key areas:


1.


   Principal risks 
   Area of impact
  Management approach


   Property valuation risk:
Property market movements
and property valuations
   Profitability and net asset value
   Senior management has extensive experience and detailed understanding of our core markets. This expertise is supplemented by local leading estate agents


   Financial risk:
Unavailability of funding at acceptable pricing
  Profitability and liquidity
   Cash reserves are held within the wider group, which are expected to be accessible to the Group companies as required albeit the Directors do not believe this to be required as the entity has sold all of its remaining inventory and plans to liquidate

MB FULHAM LIMITED
 

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021


   Political and economic risks (economic downturn, Brexit, Covid-19)
  Profitability, liquidity, net asset value, ability to sell residential properties
   Cash reserves are monitored within the group to ensure companies maintain adequate cash to operate


FUTURE PLANS
 
At the date of signing this report and looking forward, the Group had no remaining stock, with the continued intention of not acquiring another trade but closing the companies in the Group. Therefore, the Group continues to be deemed a non-going concern and the financial statements have been prepared as such.
 


This report was approved by the board on 11 April 2023 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The directors present their report  for the year ended 31 December 2021.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the group is the acquisition of land, the building of residential property and subsequent sale of residential properties.
Due to the company pursuing its exit strategy, as explained in Note 3.3, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than that of the going concern basis.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

 In preparing these , the directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will not continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to enable them to ensure that the  comply with the Companies Act 2006They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS

The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £180,436 (2020 -£1,251,198).

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MB FULHAM LIMITED
 

OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of MB Fulham Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent Company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


BASIS FOR OPINION


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO GOING CONCERN


We draw attention to note 3.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the group is pursuing its exit strategy and therefore the directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. All the remaining inventory sales were completed prior to the signing of this report, and the directors intend to liquidate the company. As such, the company is no longer deemed to be a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared as such. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in note 3.3. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

OTHER INFORMATION


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' Report thereon.  The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MB FULHAM LIMITED (CONTINUED)


AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
 
In order to identify and assess the risks of material misstatements, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements, we have considered:
the results of our enquiries of management and those charged with governance of their assessment of the risks of fraud and irregularities;
the nature of the company including its management structure and control systems (including the opportunity for management to override such controls); and
the industry and environment in which it operates.

We also considered UK tax and pension legislation and laws and regulations relating to employment and the preparation and presentation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.
Based on this understanding we identified the following matters as being of significance to the entity:
laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements including UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, tax and distributable profits legislation;
the timing of the recognition of commercial income;
management bias in selecting accounting policies and determining estimates;
inappropriate journal entries; and
recoverability of debtors.

We communicated the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity, to all engagement team members.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised:
 
enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations;
enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims;
discussion with the same regarding any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; 
assessment of matters reported to management and the result of the subsequent investigation;
obtaining an understanding of the policies and controls over the recognition of income and testing their implementation during the year;
review documentation relating to compliance with the regulations relating to VAT, including VAT reports; 
challenging assumptions made by management in their specific accounting policies and estimates, in particular in relation to valuation of investment properties and their impairment;
identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MB FULHAM LIMITED (CONTINUED)


combinations or crediting revenue or cash; and 
assessing the recovery of debtors in the period since the balance sheet date and challenging assumptions made by management regarding the recovery of balances which remain outstanding;
reviewing the financial statements for compliance with the relevant disclosure requirements; 
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships or unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud;
evaluating the underlying business reasons for any unusual transactions; and
considered the implementation of controls during the year.
 
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). 
 


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

GENERAL INFORMATION

MB Fulham Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 6th Floor, 9 Appold Street, London EC2A 2AP.

3.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
3.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 4).

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
3.2

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
Bishops Gate Fulham Management Ltd, 100% subsidiary of MB Fulham Limited, is excluded from consolidation as it is deemed to be immaterial. 
 

 
3.3

GOING CONCERN

Under FRS 102, an entity prepares financial statements on a going concern basis unless management intends to liquidate the entity or cease trading, or has no realistic alternative, but to do so.  In the prior years, the Directors had decided to pursue an exit strategy. All the remaining inventory sales were completed prior to the signing of this report, and the directors intend to liquidate the company. As such, the company is no longer deemed to be a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared as such. There is no change to the income statement or statement of financial postion as a result of preparing the financial statements on a basis other than going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

3.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
3.4

REVENUE

Revenue from sale of residential properties is recognised when the property is unconditionally transferred to the customer. Revenue from rental income represents the value of the consideration receivable on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue from management fee income represents the value of the consideration receivable when the service has been delivered to the customer. 
When cash inflows are deferred and represent a financing arrangement, the fair value of the consideration is the present value of future receipts. The difference between  the fair value of the consideration and the nominal amount received is recognised as interest income.

 
3.5

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
3.6

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
3.7

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss 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 balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
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;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

3.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
3.8

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
3.9

Stocks

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell (net realisable value).
Cost includes land purchases and associated costs, materials, direct labour and any associated professional fees. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of inventory are not capitalised, instead such costs are recognised as an expense in the Income Statement.
At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of inventories over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in the Income Statement. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in the Income Statement.
The inventory expensed in cost of sales relating to sales made to external parties is valued at a rate to ensure the whole-site margin remains constant for each sales year. This calculation is a result of analysing the whole site return and applying this percentage rate to each sale.



 
3.10

DEBTORS

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
3.11

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

 
3.12

CREDITORS

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

3.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
3.13

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.

 
3.14

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these assessments.
The estimate and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 
Critical estimate
Inventory - net realisable value 
An assessment of the net realisable value was performed on the remaining assets as at the 31 December 2021 year end. Below outlines how this has been considered and any sensitivity analysis where applicable:
The estimated net realisable value of the single remaining residential unit in MB Fulham (Commercial) Limited was determined using the post-year end sales agreement less associated selling costs.
The estimated net realisable value of the residential freehold was determined using the post-year end sales agreement less associated selling costs.
Both the property and freehold were sold post-year end thus eliminating any uncertainty.
