PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the provision of affordable housing in the borough and the development of building projects. |

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2019 |
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
|
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
|
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
|
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
|
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. |
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF |
THAMESWEY HOUSING LIMITED |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Thameswey Housing Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2019 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement 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' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
|
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its loss 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. |
|
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
|
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We draw attention to the disclosure made in note 2 to the financial statements relating to the accounts being prepared on a going concern basis having acknowledged the uncertainties that have arisen from both the results of the financial year as well as the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. As stated in the note, these events indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
|
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Directors' Report and the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, but does not include 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. |
|
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. |
|
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
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 |
- | the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF |
THAMESWEY HOUSING LIMITED |
|
|
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
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 Directors' Report. |
|
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Directors' 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 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. |
|
Auditors' 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. |
|
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |

|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
Thameswey Housing Limited is a
|
|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention. |
|
Going Concern |
The company is financed by way of share capital and loans from the ultimate parent undertaking, Woking Borough Council (the Council). The council's return on its loan investment is achieved by way of a margin on the interest it receives from the company over the interest that it pays on the councils own borrowing. |
|
As part of the Director's review of the going concern status of the company they have carried out a funding commitment review to identify the loans required for the balance of 2021 and 2022 financial year. |
The funding identified is included within the parent entity's Medium Term Financial Strategy and all funding has been authorised by the parent entity. If, in the unforeseen event funding is withdrawn a review of projects within the Thameswey group that can slow down or cease will be required and the Directors are prepared to undertake such a review. The projects have been specifically set up so that they can be stopped or slowed down as and when required if funding becomes a problem. A process of due diligence and frequent refreshes of the model for the projects is carried out to ensure they remain financially viable. These are reviewed by the Directors as well as at board level within the parent entity. |
|
The Directors and the parent entity are aware that in the coming years the entity needs to be supported by the parent entity in terms of cashflow funding and that in order to meet current liabilities and interest costs this funding requirement will exceed in-year profits generated by the company. The Directors have gained the necessary assurances from the parent entity that they will support the company and not demand the repayment of loans and interest to the detriment of the company and have assessed the parent entity's ability to provide the required funding. |
|
For these reasons the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. |
|
The company has experienced the effect of COVID-19. The company has made adjustments to working practices in order to keep employees and contractors safe. |
The directors continue to monitor the impact of the consequences of the virus on the business. At the time of approving the financial statements the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
|
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Thameswey Housing Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Thameswey Limited, The St Botolph Building, 138 Houndsditch, London, EC3A 7AR.. |

|
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangements as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the net assets of the company. |
|
Basic financial instruments, which include trade and other debtors and creditors, cash and bank balances, amounts owed by and to group companies, are initially measured at transaction price and are subsequently carried at amortised cost. |
|
Other financial instruments which includes shared equity mortgages and non-basic loans are only recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Such instruments are initially recognised at fair value, which is the transaction price. Subsequently at the end of each reporting period these financial instruments are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss. |
|
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
|
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
|
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
|
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
|
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
|
Government grants |
Government grants relating to fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the profit and loss account over the expected useful economic lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred. |
|
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. |
|
Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. |

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
|
In preparing the accounts, the company is required to make estimates and assumptions that impact on the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of the company. Estimates and associated assumptions affecting the financial statements are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Management considers the key sources of estimation uncertainty pertinent to the company are included below: |
|
Investment properties |
|
The directors assess the fair value of investment properties annually, utilising the services of an independent chartered surveyor. The surveyor values the property portfolio using a Beacon Property valuation method. The Directors use their knowledge of the local property market, taking into account the nature and location of specific properties and this valuation to establish if there has been a significant change in the valuation of the property portfolio. Whilst established methods of valuation have been used there is an element of estimation involved in determining the fair value of the investment properties. |
|
Shared Equity Mortgages |
|
The directors assess the fair value of shared equity mortgages annually, using their knowledge of the local property market taking into account the nature and location of specific properties. The directors perform desk top valuation using available data from the Zoopla property valuation website. There is an element of estimation involved in determining the fair value of the shared equity mortgages. |

The directors assess the fair value of investment properties annually, using their knowledge of the local property market taking into account the nature and location of specific properties. If the directors believe there has been a significant change in the fair value of investment properties they will utilise the services of an independent chartered surveyor. This year the directors instructed the independent firm of chartered surveyors, Frazers Surveyors Limited to perform a year-end valuation of a sample of "beacon properties" considered to be representative of the property portfolio as a whole. Frazers Surveyors Ltd hold recognised professional qualifications and have recent experience of valuing investment property in this location. |
|
From December 2019 the property portfolio will continue to be assessed based on "beacon properties" to ensure experts are engaged to formally value properties held within the investment portfolio on a regular basis. |
|
The valuations were performed by Frazers in June 2020. The directors concluded that no fair value adjustment was required after extrapolating the change in property values over the property portfolio, excluding any property acquisitions made in 2019 (deemed too recent to require a valuation). |
|
The valuation reports provided by Frazers highlight the basis of their reports was on a "comparative method of valuation, reliant upon market transactions of similar properties". It was noted however that at the time the reports were prepared, market conditions appeared varied and potentially challenging, and therefore the reports were partially based on sold and/or under offer process achieved before the current corona virus situation. The market during the recent lockdown period was basically frozen. The valuation reports were made on the basis of "material valuation uncertainty" as per VPS3 and VPGA10 of the RICS Red Book Global. Consequently, less certainty - and a higher degree of caution should be attached to the valuation than would normally be the case". |

|
The company's immediate parent company is Thameswey Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales. |
|
The company's ultimate parent undertaking is considered to be Woking Borough Council. |
|
The largest group into which the company is consolidated is headed by Woking Borough Council, and the smallest group into which the company is consolidated is Thameswey Limited. Copies of both sets of group accounts are available from the Company Secretary, Clyde Secretaries Limited, The St Botolph Building, 138 Houndsditch, London, EC3A 7AR. |
|
25. | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES - EARN YOUR DEPOSIT |
|
The company established an "Earn Your Deposit Scheme" in 2018, whereby "Good Tenants" have the right to earn a contribution towards the deposit on the purchase of a home, with the first qualifying tenants being able to make a claim from April 2020. |
|
There are various qualifying criteria to become eligible for the "Earn Your Deposit Scheme", and not all tenants who are eligible will take-up the scheme. As such, at the year-end date the company was unable to accurately quantify the take-up of the deposit scheme in the accounts, and therefore no provision has been made. |
|
The company undertook a review of the maximum potential "Earn Your Deposit Scheme" liability on 1st April 2021 and found that if all year ended 31 December 2019 tenants qualified for the scheme, and subsequently took up the offer, a potential maximum liability of £1,886,400 would be required as deposits towards a tenants new homes in the future. However, the directors believe that only a third of tenants are expected to meet the scheme criteria and the uptake is likely to be approximately 9%, but uncertainty exists over these estimates. |
|
There is not expected to be any reimbursement for the scheme. |
