COVID-19
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), declared by the World Health Organisation as ‘Global Pandemic’ on 11 March 2020 has impacted the global financial markets and, as such, market activity has been impacted in many sectors. There is an initial concern on the impact of Covid-19 on the rental income and annual income which has not shown any significant change and an estimate of the effects of these subsequent events cannot be made at present.
Brexit
On 31 December 2020, it was declared that the United Kingdom left the European Union consequent to the 2016 referendum. This creates economic and other uncertainties about both the process and its consequences which are risks that affect the real estate industry, particularly market values of investment property which are reliant on pool of investors and availability of financing. There is no evidence at 31 December 2020 that Brexit has adversely affected the Company’s activities and the uncertainty in relation to the impact on the UK and EU economies as a result may impact the valuation of the Company’s investment in the coming years.

Where fair value cannot be achieved without under cost or effort, investment property is accounted for as tangible fixed assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash 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 rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
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. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
