Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

1	General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in Scotland.

The address of its registered office is:
Lautrec
2 North Road
Dunbar
East Lothian
EH42 1AY

2	Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

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

Basis of preparation

These Financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A “Small Entities” of Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” and the Companies Act 2006 using the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties

The presentation currency is Sterling
 

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents the total value, excluding value added tax, of the revenue earned on rent and insurance receivable for the year. Turnover recognised in advance of the client being billed is included in debtors

Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment 15 - 25% per annum straight line

Investment property

Investment properties are shown at fair valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value during the year is recognised in the profit or loss. This is transferred, for ease of identification, to a non distributable reserve which displays the cumulative net unrealised surplus on revaluation. This transfer and the resultant balances are shown in the statement of changes in equity on page 7.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

Financial instruments

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 and are recognised in the company’s balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic Financial Assets
Basic financial assets, including debtors 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 value rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic Financial Liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
 

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.

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

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

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The director considers this basis is appropriate as the company is supported by the increasing value of its investment properties and it continues to meet its day to day commitments from working capital as they fall due. The director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and remains committed to funding capital commitments from personal funds if required.

Defined contribution pension obligation

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the company’s director and pension costs charged in the financial statements represent contributions paid in the year.The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds.

3	Staff numbers

The average number of employees during the year, was 2 (2022 - 2).
