INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GOLDEN SQUARE RE INVESTMENTS 1 LIMITED
Opinion on the financial statement
s
In our opinion the financial statements:
∙
give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 30 June 2021 and of 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.
We have audited the financial statements of Golden Square RE Investments 1 Limited (“the Company”) for the period ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The 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.
Basis for opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Golden Square RE Investments 1 Limited (“the Company”) for theyear ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The 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).
Independence
We remain independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual reports other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.
Other Companies Act 2006 reporting
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙
the information given in the Directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙
Directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙
the 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; or
∙
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions In preparing the Directors’ Report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, 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 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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 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, iincluding fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
∙
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity. We determined that the most significant which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those related to the reporting framework (FRS 102) and the Companies act 2006;
∙
We enquired of management to identify how the entity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks and whether there were any known instances of non-compliance, or any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We corroborated our enquiries through review of board minutes;
∙
We assessed the risk of susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur;
∙
assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and considering whether there were any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business;
∙
We considered the entity’s control environment that has been established to prevent, detect and deter fraud;
∙
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments in the general ledger and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business;
∙
We communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and discussed how and where these might occur and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at:https://www.frc.org.uk /auditorsresponsibilities .This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Accounting policies
|
|
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 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 compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 2).
The Company meets the definition of a small company under FRS 102 and has therefore taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions available to it in respect of its financial statements. Exemptions have been taken in relation to financial instruments and presentation of a cash flow statement.
The functional and presentational currency of the Company is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Turnover is generated through interest income and fees from the provision of loans.
Interest income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account using the effective interest method.
Where payments are received from customers in advance of services provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.
The Company’s business activities, its performance for the year, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, have been reviewed by the directors. The directors have considered the impact of Brexit, the COVID19 pandemic and the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the business. The Company is wholly based in the UK, and at the time of approval of these financial statements, the directors believe that these aforementioned events have had a minimal impact, if any at all, on the Company, however the directors remain mindful of related supply chain and labour pressures being seen generally in the Real Estate market.
The Company has no other ongoing liabilities other than the amounts owed to Group undertakings. The Company has recouped its loan receivable balance and repaid the intra-group loan with its immediate parent, please see note 10 for further detail.
Having assessed the risks facing the business as set out in the Directors' Report, the profit for the current year, the budgeted financial position and profit and cash flow forecasts for the next financial year and beyond, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business successfully and have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have no intention to wind up the Company following the recoupment of the existing loans, and are pursuing new investment opportunities in the real estate sector. Accordingly the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Directors' Report and Financial Statements.

Accounting policies (continued)
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 operates and generates income.
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.
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.
The Company 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.
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 Company 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, which are described in note 1, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There were no significant judgments or estimates during the year.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing 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.
