RST_CARDIFF_LIMITED - Accounts

The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

RST Cardiff Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 29 York Street, London, United Kingdom, W1H 1EZ.

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 certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The financial statements contain information about RST Cardiff Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its ultimate parent, RST Residential Investments Limited, whose registered office is 29 York Street, London, England, W1H 1EZ, and its principal place of business is 1 Frederick Place, London N8 8AF.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The use of the going concern basis is appropriate because there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern on the basis that group undertakings and other companies within the group will continue to support the company. true

The directors have carried out their assessment of going concern and taking into account the economic conditions and possible changes in trading performance, alongside the facts noted above, they have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern. For example, the extent of the impact of coronavirus is unclear and it is difficult to evaluate all the potential implications on the company's trade, customers, suppliers and the wider economy.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover represents amounts receivable from inter group companies in the form of management charges.

Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Stocks represents property acquired for development together with work in progress on those properties. The resultant stock and work in progress is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost comprises the acquisition cost of the land and buildings, together with related legal and professional costs, development and borrowing costs.

In considering net realisable value, it is assumed that developments will be completed and sold in the ordinary course of business and not placed on the market for immediate sale in their current state of development.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also 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.

Trade and other debtors are measured at transaction price less any impairment unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction in which case the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at the prevailing market rate of interest. Loans are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.

Trade and other creditors are measured at their transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction in which case the transaction is measured at present value of future payments discounted at prevailing market rate of interest. Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value net of their transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current Tax

Current tax is recognised for the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against future taxable profits or against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax relating to a non-depreciable asset that is measured using the revaluation model, or to investment properties measured at fair value, is measured using the tax rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset.

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

Pension costs

Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to income statement in the period to which they relate.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.

The key judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

Funding arrangements

Management has assessed the substance of the development funding agreements and consider them to be financing arrangements. The sums advanced under these agreements are therefore included in creditors. Management has estimated, at the balance sheet date, future cash flows as per the project development plans and budgets and will continue to review and revise them as appropriate.

Profit recognition

Stock consists of the acquisition cost of the land and buildings, together with related legal and professional costs, development and borrowing costs which is recorded as incurred during a project. An apportionment of stock is transferred to the profit and loss account when properties are sold on a project. The proportion of stock transferred is calculated so as to achieve a consistent margin across each individual project and is reliant on management's estimation of the total selling price. Estimation of the selling price is subject to significant inherent uncertainties, in particular the prediction of future trends in the value of property.

Whilst the Directors exercise due care and attention to make reasonable estimates, taking into account all available information in estimating the future selling price, the estimates may differ from the actual selling prices achieved in future periods.

With the exception of the estimates described above, the directors consider that there are no other significant judgements or estimates in the preparation of these financial statements.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

During the year finance costs capitalised in respect of the development amounted to £21,247 (2021: £233,607). Sales in the year of completed properties resulted in £79,212 of these finance costs being released to cost of sales (2021: £590,808) At the year end the total finance costs capitalised included within stock totalled £Nil (2021: £57,965).

At the balance sheet date, the company had unpaid defined contribution pension payable of £2,381 (2021: £1,507).

The loan from another group company is secured by a charge over all profits, monies and receivables of this company, without limitation.

Other loans, which are included in other creditors, are secured by a various assets held by fellow group companies, and a corporate guarantee from a fellow group company.
