Financial Statements/Continued
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
1. General information Picton Property Income Limited (the ‘Company’ and together with its subsidiaries the ‘Group’) was established on 15 September 2005 as a closed ended Guernsey domiciled investment company and entered the UK REIT regime on 1 October 2018. The consolidated financial statements are prepared for the year ended 31 March 2023 with comparatives
for the year ended 31 March 2022. 2. Significant accounting policies Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and adopt the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of investment properties. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for the assets. The financial statements, which give a true and fair view, are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB and the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. The Directors have assessed whether the going concern basis remains appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements. They have reviewed the Group’s principal and emerging risks, existing loan facilities, access to funding and liquidity position and then considered different adverse scenarios impacting the portfolio and the potential consequences on financial performance, asset values, dividend policy, capital projects and loan covenants. Under all these scenarios the Group has sufficient resources to continue its operations, and remain within its loan covenants, for the foreseeable future and in any case for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Based on their assessment and knowledge of the portfolio and market, the Directors have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in pounds sterling has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated. New or amended standards issued The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial period, as amended to reflect the adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations which became effective in the year as shown below. ‒ Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37) ‒ Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 ‒ Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16) ‒ Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3) The adoption of these standards has had no material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. At the date of approval of these financial statements, there are a number of new and amended standards in issue but not yet effective for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 and thus have not been applied by the Group. ‒ IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts ‒ Amendments to IFRS 17 ‒ Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) ‒ Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8) ‒ Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes ‒ Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information (Amendments to IFRS 17) ‒ Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)
‒ Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16) ‒ Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1)
‒ Sale or Contributions of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28) The adoption of these new and amended standards, together with any other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective, are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of estimates about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
