The company was incorporated on 23 November 2017 . |
|

The principal activity of the company in the period under review was that of property investment. |
|
EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE PERIOD |

|
DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
The director is responsible for preparing the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with |
applicable law and regulations. |
|
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has |
elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice |
(United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial |
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the director must not approve the |
financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to |
ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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. |
|
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
The directors confirm that: |
so far as each director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware; and |
the directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any |
relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information. |
|
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Grant Thornton UK LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
|
RO Chichester Limited (Registered number: 11078108) |
|
Report of the Director |
for the Period 23 November 2017 to 31 March 2018 |
|
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small |
companies. |
|
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
RO Chichester Limited |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of RO Chichester Limited (the 'company') for the 4 months and 8 days ended 31 |
March 2018 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of |
Changes In Equity 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 March 2018 and of its loss for the period 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 Auditors' 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. |
|
Who we are reporting to |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the |
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters |
we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, |
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our |
audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |
|
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you |
where: |
- |
the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate;
or |
- |
the director has not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant
doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
|
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the |
Directors, other than 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
RO Chichester Limited |
|
|
Opinion 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 Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is
consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Director has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
|
Matters on which we are required to report under the Companies Act 2006 |
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 Report of the Directors. |
|
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
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 prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and
take advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the Report of the Directors and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report. |
|
Responsibilities of director |
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page two, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has 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 a Report of the Auditors 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 Report of the Auditors. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Period 23 November 2017 to 31 March 2018 |
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
RO Chichester Limited is a
|
registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Going concern |
The accounts have been prepared under the going concern concept because the ultimate parent company, RO |
Properties Limited, has confirmed its willingness and ability to provide adequate funds for the company to meet its |
liabilities for at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. |
|
Turnover |
Turnover, stated net of VAT and trade discounts, represents rent receivable in the UK in respect of the company's |
investment properties. |
|
Taxation |
Corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted by the |
balance sheet date. |
|
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance |
sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or |
right to pay less or to receive more tax, with the following exceptions: |
|
Provision is made for tax on gains arising on the revaluation (and similar fair value adjustments) of fixed assets, and |
gains on disposals of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the extent that, at the |
balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the assets concerned. However, no provision is made |
where, on the basis of all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain |
will be rolled over into replacement assets and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold. |
|
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that |
there will be suitable taxable profits from which the underlying timing differences can be deducted. |
|
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which |
timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Investment properties |
Investment properties are revalued annually. Surplus or deficits on individual properties are transferred to the profit |
and loss account. Depreciation is not provided in respect of freehold investment properties or of leasehold |
investment properties where the unexpired term of the lease is more than 20 years. |
|
The surplus or deficit over the carrying value of an investment property realiised on disposal is dealt with through the |
profit and loss account. Any previous revaluation surplus is transferred from the revaluation reserve to the profit and |
loss reserve. |
|
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as |
either financial asset, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a |
residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
|
