Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019 |
|
1. | Statutory information |
|
Ely Bridge Development Company Limited is a
|
and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company |
Information page. |
|
2. | Accounting policies |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The |
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party |
transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
|
Turnover |
Turnover represents amounts chargeable, net of value added tax, in respect of the sale of land, construction |
and property services to customers. |
|
Revenue from the sale of land is recognised when the company has transferred to the buyer the significant |
risks and rewards of ownership. |
|
The company recognises revenue from the rendering of services by reference to the stage of completion of the |
transaction at the end of the reporting period. |
|
Other operating income |
Other operating income represents amounts chargeable, net of value added tax, in respect of the provision of |
back office support services to related companies under common control and other sundry invoices. It is |
recognised as these services are provided. |
|
Work in progress |
Work in progress is valued at cost or impaired cost if appropriate. |
|
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and loss, 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. |
|
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's |
pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |

2. | Accounting policies - continued |
|
Going concern |
The Board is aware that due to the nature of the development project where a significantly large amount of cost |
is expended ahead of earning any revenue income, the company will report significant accounting losses until |
revenue income is generated. The long-term projections monitored via regular review of the development |
tracker, shows that the scheme will generate a surplus when completed. The Board also receives cash flow |
projections and update on funding agreements (short term and long term) as part of periodic financial reporting |
package. |
|
As with any such project, there is some level of material uncertainty, but the directors are confident that should |
the project fail to go ahead, the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. |
|
Based on the above, the Directors consider that the Company is financially viable and can meet its liabilities as |
they fall due and therefore these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |

Principality Building Society: |
The loan of £4,344,077 owed to Principality Building Society is split into two separate construction loans; |
£1,832,750 (2018: £1,787,448) is due on or before 31 October 2021, £2,511,327 (2018: £1,162,788) is due on |
or before 31 October 2020. The interest rate applicable to this borrowing is three month LIBOR plus 3.5%. |
|
The loan is secured by way of fixed charges numbered 0801 0561 0005, 0801 0561 0006 and 0801 0561 0007 |
over the freehold land known as Ely Mill, Canton, Cardiff dated 2 September 2015 and 26 October 2017. |
|
Welsh Government: |
The loan of £9,080,945 is from the Welsh Government and is dated 30 March 2017.This loan supersedes the |
original Welsh Government loan dated 30 March 2013. The interest is calculated on a compound basis with |
reference to the European Reference rates together with a 1% margin. The interest rate together with the 1% |
margin totalled 2.09% at 31 March 2019 (2018: 1.74%). |
|
The loan of £8.08 million plus accrued interest is due for repayment based on the earlier of several key events |
but no later than 27 July 2020 and therefore the loan has been classified as falling due for repayment within 1 |
to 2 years. Welsh Government has agreed, in principal, to extend the loan repayment date to no earlier than 31 |
March 2023, subject to agreement of the requisite amendments to the loan agreement. This agreement had not |
been signed as at the date of signing these accounts. |
|
The loan is secured on the Ely Bridge site and the cash balances within the company. |

Material uncertainty related to going concern |
We draw attention to note 2, 'Going concern', in the financial statements. As at 31 March 2019, the company's |
total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £5,492,741. As stated in note 2, these events or conditions, along |
with other matters as set forth in note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant |
doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this |
matter. |
|
11. | Contingent liabilities |
|
On the 27th August 2015 the company entered in to an agreement with the Cardiff City Council to pay |
£2,000,000 pursuant to Section 106 Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating to Land at Ely Bridge. A sum |
of £500,000 (25%) was paid during 2018/19 and the remaining balance is payable as follows: |
|
- 25% prior to the date of occupation of the last dwelling within phase B or if earlier 30 September 2020. |
|
- 25% prior to the date of occupation of the last dwelling within phase C or if earlier 30 September 2021 and |
|
- the final 25% prior to the date of occupation of the last dwelling within phase D or if earlier 30 June 2023. |
|
In addition to the education payment, the Section 106 agreement requires EBDC to construct a Community |
Facility and provide other facilities for the benefit of the community. Total estimated cost of these obligations is |
£760,000. Cardiff City Council has agreed, in principal, to extend the deadline for constructing the Community |
Facility from 30 June 2019 to 30 June 2023. This agreement had not been signed as at the date of signing |
these accounts. |
|
As at 31 March 2019 the conditions to make a payment, or provide the community facilities, had not been met |
and therefore there was no liability arising in the balance sheet. |
|
12. | Ultimate parent company |
|
The ultimate parent company and controlling party is Tirion Group Limited, which prepares group financial |
statements incorporating the financial statements of the company. A Copy of these can be obtained from the |
charity's registered office at 7 Neptune Court, Vanguard Way, Cardiff, Wales, CF24 5PJ. |
|
13. | Limited by guarantee |
|
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital. Each of |
the members is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the company in the event |
of liquidation. |
