NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

1.


General information

Portobello 95 Property Limited (the "Company") is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated under the UK Companies Act 2006 and domiciled in England. The address of the Company's registered office is 124 Finchley Road, London, NW3 5JS.

2.Accounting policies

  
2.1

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all reporting periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

 
2.2

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements of the Company 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 preparation of financial statements in conformity with Financial Reporting Standard 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies.
Details of those estimates and/or judgments made in applying the Company's accounting policies towards the preparation of these financial statements that may be considered as yielding a significant risk of a material adjustment being made to the carrying amounts of assets and/or liabilities reported in the balance sheet during the next financial reporting period are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.

  
2.3

Functional and presentational currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the "functional currency").
The functional currency of the Company, and the currency in which the financial statements are presented (the "presentational currency"), is 'Pounds Sterling' (£) rounded to the nearest single unit of currency.

 
2.4

Going concern

As at the date these financial statements were approved by the directors, the following significant factors were considered when considering the going concern status of the Company.
The Company is purely a "group-occupied" investment property holding company with all relevant expenditure incurred towards the sole property held recharged by the Company to its occupant and fellow group undertaking, Portobello 95 Trade Limited; the Company is dependant on Portobello 95 Trade Limited meeting its financial commitments to the Company such that the Company is in turn able to meet its operating lease commitments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.4
Going concern (continued)

Further details in respect of Portobello 95 Trade Limited and its going concern status can be found in the financial statements of Portobello 95 Trade Limited which do not form part of the Company's financial statements.
The Company continues to act solely as a special purpose vehicle for land and buildings owned and rented out to fellow group undertakings  as it has done, with financial performance analogous to that reported to date, since incorporation. There have been no changes to the Company's primary operations to date.
In preparing these financial statements, taking into account the aforementioned and the financial performance and position of the Company up to the date these financial statements were approved; the directors are of the opinion that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company shall have adequate financial resources available at its disposal to continue in operational existence and, as a result of which, the Company is expected to remain a going concern.
The directors accept that although there does exist an inherent uncertainty that may cast doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, as is the case with all companies; the directors considers the uncertainty to be sufficiently insignificant such that the application of going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements remains appropriate and in turn have prepared the Company's financial statements under said basis.

 
2.5

Revenue

Revenue comprises turnover recognised by the Company in respect of rental income and related recharged expenditure receivable during the year with amounts recognised in accordance with the underlying contractual arrangement on a straight line basis over the term of occupancy and is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable exclusive of Value Added Tax.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the contracted goods and services and their related payment exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

 
2.6

Operating leases

Operating leases, net of benefits receivable as an incentive, are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 
2.7

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are recognised under the cost model and stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended upon acquisition.
In accordance with those amendments to Financial Reporting Standard 102, as set out in the triennial review published in December 2017, investment property rented to other group entities and accounted for under the cost model is reported under either freehold or leasehold property and stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Short-term leasehold property
-
Over the term of the lease

Depreciation of a tangible fixed asset commences once the asset is available for use. The residual value and depreciation basis of tangible fixed assets are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively where deemed appropriate, if there is an indication of a significant change since the last balance sheet date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.9

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities; with said financial assets and liabilities classified in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual obligations rather than its legal form.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet upon becoming party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or the financial asset is transferred along with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The measurement of specific financial assets, financial liabilities and equity is as outlined below:
Debtors
Debtors are initially measured at transaction price (i.e fair value) and subsequently held, at transaction price less provision for impairment of assets.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash balances are reported by the Company as being financial instruments classified as short term receivables and are represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash balances are held at floating interest rates linked to UK bank rates.

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.9
Financial instruments (continued)

Creditors
Creditors, excluding commercial bank loans (see below), are initially measured and subsequently held at transaction price (i.e fair value). 
Commercial bank loans are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured and held at amortised cost using the effective interest method with the interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
Equity
Ordinary share capital, shown in equity, is initially measured and subsequently held at its nominal value. Where the transaction price for issued shares exceeds their nominal value, the difference is shown under equity in a share premium account with any directly attributable transaction costs associated with the issuing of said shares deducted from a share premium account.


3.


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 apply judgment and make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other available sources based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Consequently, actual results may differ from that originally estimated.
In the opinion of the directors, there were no judgments, estimates and/or assumptions made in applying the principal accounting policies, outlined in note 2 of these financial statements, towards the preparation of these financial statements that may be considered as having a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and/or liabilities carried forward as at the balance sheet date where by which the actual future outcome observed may differ from that originally determined and reported.


4.


Employees

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was nil (2021: nil).
In accordance with UK legislation, office holders (i.e. registered company directors or secretaries) of the Company are not employees of the Company on the grounds that they are not party to a contract with the Company that meets the criteria for status of an employee.
