STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- 1 -
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Fair review of the business
The incorporation of Gateway 14 Limited and its associated structure was initiated to bring about the development of land, to generate employment and to enable Mid Suffolk District Council (“the Ultimate Shareholder”) to participate in the returns generated by the development of the land. In order to deliver this, Gateway14 Limited was incorporated as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to acquire the land. The rationale for this investment is:
-
The site is well-located adjacent to J50 of the A14
-
The principle of development for employment purpose is established in this location
-
There is currently strong demand and it is envisaged that this will continue along with sustained rental growth
-
To generate short/medium term income to support the revenue gap arising from the reduction in central government funding
-
To bring about the development of the land in the most effective way to deliver economic growth whilst maximising returns to the Council and minimise the risk by the way the project is brought forward
-
To ensure that investment opportunities taken are ethical and fit with the values of the shareholding Council
The structure is based upon Mid Suffolk District Council setting up its own wholly-owned holding company which then takes a 100% shareholding in the development company limited by shares.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties impacting the entity are: development is inherently a risk enterprise and there are unknown factors at the outset, there were issues to be resolved on the planning consent, the site requires some re-profiling to maximise the amount of development, rents may fall and yields may rise, the timescale for completion of the project is anticipated to be 6-8 years. A significant risk has been the substantial increase in building costs, brought about to a great extent by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but also due to Brexit and the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant effect on the delivery of the project, as resolution of the revised planning consent was able to continue without interruption. The pandemic has also focussed interest on the importance of the supply chain and has increased demand for the warehousing accommodation that the site will deliver. The Freeport designation has been very significant in supporting the delivery of the site for advanced manufacturing and innovation uses.
Results and performance
The Board has considered the risk factors inherent in the project and carried out a significant amount of work to evaluate and mitigate risk. This has had a very marked effect in reducing the risks of the project and moving forward to delivery. Key milestones include: -
-
The appointment of Jaynic as development partner to oversee the delivery of the project
-
The achievement of outline planning consent for the principle of industrial development and detailed consent for the installation of the infrastructure
-
The stopping up of Mill Lane
-
Agreements to deliver services to the site and the commencements of works to enable delivery
-
Commencement of the installation of the main site road, access off the roundabout and delivery of the service infrastructure
-
Conditional contracts exchanged with a major occupier
The company’s updated Business Plan, including its goals and Strategies was approved by its shareholders in June 2022.
The Directors believe that the Company is on course to achieve its primary target to bring the land forward for development in an effective timescale and with an appropriate risk mitigation strategy.
A resolution to grant a single planning consent for a cohesive development across the company's landholdings, subject to finalising conditions and the S106 agreement, was agreed at Planning Committee on 18th August 2021.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- 4 -
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual 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;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GATEWAY14 LIMITED
- 5 -
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Gateway14 Limited
(the 'company')
for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the income statement, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and
notes to the financial statements, including 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 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (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 March 2022 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.
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's
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
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 our audit
:
-
the information given in the strategic report and the directors'
r
eport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements
; and
-
the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

TO THE MEMBERS OF GATEWAY14 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 identifie
d
material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors'
r
eport
. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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
remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors'
r
esponsibilities
s
tatement, 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 is 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.
Auditor's 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
.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below
.
Our audit was designed to include tests of detail together with an assessment of the control environment to enable us to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement due to fraud. Through discussion with directors and management, and from our own knowledge of and experience of the sector in which the company operates we identified the following areas where we consider there is a higher risk of fraud: transactions with related parties, revenue recognition, and management override of systems and control. We note that the use of external advisors and service organisations has helped to reduce the susceptibility of the company to material misstatement due to fraud.
We performed audit procedures to address the risks noted above, which included the following:
-
Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity’s solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims
-
Reviewing minutes of board meetings
-
Testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions
-
Review of management estimates and judgements, in particular in relation to the recoverability of work in progress
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is we would become aware of non-compliance.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 12 -
The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 400 of the
Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The
financial statements
present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group
.
Gateway14 Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of MSDC (Suffolk Holdings) Limited and the results of Gateway14 Limited are included in the consolidated financial statements of Mid Suffolk District Council which are available from the address in note 21.
1.2
Going concern
The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the
true
company
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The company currently doesn't have the facility to repay its borrowings, but this is early in the life of a significant development project and the company does have the ongoing support of its owners.
Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Revenue
The Company's financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis. Income is recognised in the financial statements in the accounting period in which the effect of the relevant transaction takes place and not in the period in which the cash is received.
This means that rental income and other receipts are accounted for as income at the date the Company provides the relevant service. Where income has been recognised but cash has not yet been received, a debtor for the relevant amount is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position.
1.4
Intangible assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the
fair
value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss.
1.5
Non-current investments
Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

1.6
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
At each reporting end date, the
company
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
company
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit)
in
prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.7
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost and
estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the
inventories
to their present location and condition
which include professional fees and loan interest.
Inventories
held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at
the lower of replacement cost and cost
, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.8
Fair value measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted
. The company is exempt under FRS 101 from the disclosure requirements of IFRS 13. There was no impact on the company from the adoption of IFRS 13.
1.9
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10
Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are classified into specified categories, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets.
At initial recognition, financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value and any transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets not classified as fair value through profit and loss are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables
, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the debt instrument to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
The expected credit losses associated with these assets are estimated on a forward-looking basis. A broad range of information is considered when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
1.11
Financial liabilities
The company recogni
s
es financial debt when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as either
'
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
'
or
'
other financial liabilities
'
.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings
, t
rade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs
directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method
.
For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the
company’s
obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the
income statement
because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The
company’s
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the
income statement
, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the
company
has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.
Critical judgements
Work in progress provision
Work in progress is
valued at the lower
of
cost and net realisable value. Ne
t
realisable value includes, where necessary, provisions for
costs not considered to be recoverable on sale of the asset
. Calculation of these provisions requires judgement
of
estimated costs, estimated sales proceeds, and
forecast
profit or loss on work in progress projects
.
