General information

Octane Property Finance 4 Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England. Its registered office is Devonshire House, Mayfair Place, London, W1J 8AJ .
The company's principal activity is to offer short-term bridging finance to customers purchasing residential or commercial property.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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 company's functional and presentational currency is GBP, rounded to the nearest £1.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through the utilisation of its own funds, banking and loan facilities and a loan from its ultimate controlling party.
Existing funding facilities, forecasts and projections indicate that the company has adequate resources to continue with some level of activity from a minimal to full levels.
After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.  The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements, but with the proviso that some uncertainly exists over the company’s future.

 
2.3

Revenue

Revenue consists of interest income on loans acquired during the year. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts and rebates, using the effective interest method which allocates interest over the the expected useful lives of the loans.

  
2.4

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Costs are charged over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Taxation

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 reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates income.

 
2.6

Debtors

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.

 
2.7

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

 
2.8

Creditors

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.

 
2.9

Financial instruments

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 and loans to or from related parties.
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.

 
2.10

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
