Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts for the period ended 31 December 2015

1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities effective April 2008.

Turnover policy
Turnover represents amounts receivable for rent during the year, net of VAT when applicable.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is
provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Land and buildings Freehold - Nil
Fixtures, fittings & equipment - 3 years straight line

No depreciation is provided on freehold buildings as the properties have ongoing refurbishment work to extend their useful life. This work is mainly the responsibility of the tenants, although some
refurbishments are at the expense of the company.

Valuation information and policy
Investments are states at cost less diminution in value.
