for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The directors present their Strategic report on Integrated Accommodation Services plc (the company) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The company is engaged under a 30 year project agreement with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, signed on 13 June 2000. Its registered number is 03824397. The agreement, under the Government Private Finance Initiative (PFI), provides for the design, construction, financing, service and maintenance of new facilities, together with the service, maintenance and remediation of certain existing facilities for the Government Communications Headquarters in Cheltenham, England. The company achieved its first phase practical completion of building works and the certification of those works in June 2003, ahead of the original programme. The company continues to provide services to these facilities and it has completed the phased clearance of the older sites which were released back to the Secretary of State and sold. The operational performance of the company during the year has been good and performance deductions have been low.

Turnover and cost of sales have increased in the period under review. Turnover and cost of sales are subject to annual indexation in line with RPI. The applicable indexation from April 2023 was 13.4%.
The company has also entered into sub-contracts to allocate, under its direction, the provision of those services noted above. Details of the principal sub-contracts are shown within Commitments and Related party disclosures in notes 20 and 21 respectively to the financial statements.
The profit for the year under review as set out in the statement of comprehensive income on page 12 relates to activities undertaken in respect of the project.

The company borrowings are at fixed rates. Movements in interest rates only affect interest received on cash deposits. Recent interest rate rises have generated increased interest income from bank deposits.
Under the terms of the Project Agreement under which IAS is engaged, the proportion of the income that covers operating costs is linked to RPI. As such increases in RPI have no detrimental effect on the results of the company. The same indexation is applied to the income, and the operator costs. Other costs, such as lifecycle, are subject to general inflation. Forecasts for the business include allowances for inflation, and the recent high levels of inflation do not adversely affect the results of the company.
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
Section 172(1) statement
Throughout the year the board has made due consideration during its discussions and decision-making of the matters set out in section 172 of the Companies act 2006. Set out below is a description of how the directors have had regards to the matters set out in section 172 (1) when performing their duties under section 172:
a. The likely consequences of any decision in the long term
Supporting each decision, the Board are given access to management papers which set out the potential outcome of decisions. The papers include diligence on the financial impact via forecasts, as well as non-financial factors and how the decision fits with the strategy of the company. The company has a project life plan, which is a financial plan supported by contracts, which is reviewed regularly to benchmark performance and achievements against plan. Variable costs such as lifecyle are periodically reviewed via a full asset condition survey, and plans amended accordingly. Where appropriate, the Board will take professional advice from Technical Advisors and legal experts.
b. The interests of the company's employees
The company has no employees and therefore is not required to consider matters of this regard. The company does however, pay due regard to the interests and safety of all those engaged by contractors to the company to perform services on its behalf.
c. The need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others
The company is committed to upholding the underlying principle of PFI of working in partnerships with all parties to the arrangement. The Company has one customer, a UK Government Department. Meetings are held on a regular basis to ensure open communication and customer satisfaction. The main supplier is the FM Contractor on site and the Company is able to communicate on a daily basis with this supplier to maintain good relationships. The Company ensures good relationships with all suppliers and aims to ensure all suppliers are paid within agreed terms. The board meet on a quarterly basis and receives reports from a financial, commercial, and operational perspective, and uses this information to inform business decisions affecting the customer, suppliers and other stakeholders.
d. The impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment
The company's operations are undertaken within a confined geographical area to which access is severely limited. Major maintenance expenditure is planned following asset condition surveys to maintain the asset at the required contractual standards, and to ensure that the asset will meet the required contractual standards at the end of the concession. The delivery of these works is carefully planned with the maintenance and operations contractor and client to ensure minimum disruption to the users of the facility and the safety of the contractor's employees.
e. The desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct
The company's operations are undertaken in a location which is key to the UK's national security interests, consequently the ability of the company to operate in accordance with the highest levels of security and confidentiality protocols is essential. The company's management ensure that those required standards are met by vetting key personnel and suppliers, monitoring suppliers through performance measures, and adhering to a comprehensive anti-bribery and corruption policy.
f. The need to act fairly between members of the company
As a wholly owned subsidiary of Accommodation Services (Holdings) Limited, the company has no fairness considerations to be considered during decision making.
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
Principal risks and uncertainties
The company is risk averse in its principal activities as detailed above, as its trading relationships with its customer, funders and sub-contractors are determined by the terms of their respective detailed PFI contracts. In extreme circumstances, the company could be exposed to subcontractor failure to perform their obligations. The financial risks (including subcontractor failure) and the measures taken to mitigate them are as detailed in the following sections.
In the event of subcontractor failure, the company would directly manage the subcontractor's obligations, to ensure continuity of service, until such time as a long term alternative solution is put in place.

The company adopts a prudent approach to liquidity management by endeavouring to maintain sufficient cash and liquid resources to meet its obligations as they fall due. Surplus cash is invested with its bankers on short term deposits. The company is required to hold certain cash deposits in accordance with the Collateral Deed. This follows a standard requirement of this type of financing arrangement.

The company's operations are managed under the supervision of its shareholders and funders and are largely determined by the detailed terms of the PFI contract which stipulates key performance criteria on operational activities including performance and availability. The board monitor these on a regular basis. Given the straightforward nature of the business, the company's directors are of the opinion that further analysis using KPIs is not necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business. The business success is linked to the delivery of the project through achieving availability targets, minimising performance deductions, and meeting financial measures for Debt Service Cover ratios, and Loan Life Cover ratios.

B C J Dean and D R Hardingham are members of the Audit Committee.
The directors are of the opinion that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. There are no post balance sheet events.
The directors continue to develop the business in line with the contract and there are no issues expected.
The board are appointed by the shareholders and meet quarterly to review the financial and operational performance of the company. The company is a special purpose company specifically established to engage in a PFI project as noted in its principal activities in the Strategic report. The company’s business is confined to that project and its activities are clearly defined and restricted by the complex contracts which it has entered into. The board has an experienced operational management and financial team who monitor the company’s and its subcontractors’ compliance with those contracts. The project director leads that team and regularly reports to the board of directors the company’s performance against the budgets it sets and the key performance criteria stipulated under the detailed terms of the PFI contract.
The company has an Audit Committee, comprising of an independent chairman (non-executive director) and one further non-executive director, who are assessed to have the relevant competence in accounting. The Audit Committee is responsible for satisfying itself that the financial affairs of the company are conducted with openness, integrity and accountability, and in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements. The primary duties of the Audit Committee are to:
- monitor the integrity of the financial statements of the company and to review significant judgements contained therein;
- monitor the level and effectiveness of internal financial controls;
- assess the scope and effectiveness of systems to identify, assess, manage, and monitor financial and non-financial risk;
- make recommendations concerning the appointment and terms of engagement of external auditors; and
- review and monitor the independence of the statutory auditor and the provision of additional services by the auditor to the company
The company has outsourced the financial reporting function to G4S Facilities Management (UK) Limited (“G4S”). Authority remains vested in the board members of the company. G4S reports regularly to the board of the company. The board received quarterly reports from G4S which specifically summarise and address the financial, contractual and commercial risks that the company is exposed to, and are pertinent to the industry in which the company operates. The board also receives quarterly management accounts with explanations of variances from annual budgets and forecasts, which are in turn compared to the Financial Model, which represents the long term business plan of the company and outlines its ability to comply with its debt obligations and covenants. Material deviations from the business plan are investigated and reported on. Supporting this process, G4S evaluates its performance under its own Corporate Governance framework. This process ensures that the project remains robust and viable throughout the life of the contact.
The directors have identified the company, shareholders, customer and sub-contractors as the key stakeholders. The S172 statement in the Strategic Report sets out details of how the company works with those stakeholders.
The company has a single class of ordinary shares, all of which rank equally. The company appoints directors nominated by the shareholders of the holding company. The voting rights of those directors rank in proportion to the shareholdings in its holding company. Current holdings are shown in note 19 of these financial statements.
The company has exposures to a variety of financial risks which are managed with the purpose of minimising any potential adverse effect on the company’s performance and these are summarised in the Strategic report. The company also reviews the performance of the subcontractors on a monthly basis and takes action if the performance levels fall below the required standard.

The company is a low energy user, emitting and consuming less than 40MWh in the current and previous reporting period. Energy emissions from activities, including greenhouse gases (GHG), and the consumption of energy for the company’s own use has been considered in making this assessment. As an operator of a Government Private Finance Initiative, the company:
- does not incur any energy costs;
- does not utilise any transportation;
- had no employees during the year; and
- services provided under the Project Agreement and related contracts are outsourced to the subcontractor.
As such, the company is not required to make detailed disclosures of energy and carbon information under the Companies Act 2006.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulation.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, 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 the financial statements, the directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 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 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 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.

Each of the directors, whose names and functions are listed in the director's report confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:
Directors' Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)
- the company financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the company; and
- the strategic report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the company, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces.
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors’ Report is approved:
- so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditors are unaware; and
- they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware of that information.
A resolution concerning the appointment of BDO LLP will be proposed at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

Overview
Audit scope
Key audit matters
The scope of our audit
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors’ professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by the auditors, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters, and any comments we make on the results of our procedures thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit. The key audit matters below are consistent with last year.
|
Key audit matter |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
Accuracy of turnover and contract debtor |
Our audit addressed the key audit matter as follows: • We have reviewed the integrity and consistency of Management’s financial forecast model that reflects the finance debtor and interest receivable to satisfy ourselves that any movements in these balances have been appropriately calculated and reflected in the model. • The allocations to reduce the outstanding finance debtor from cash receipts in relation to the unitary charge are driven by a financial model that is extensively reviewed and is used to ensure the debtor is paid down over the life of the contract whilst having regard to that element of the unitary charge receipts which are required to cover other items such as actual and expected operating expense. We have confirmed that the allocations are consistent with Management’s financial forecast model and that the allocations are reasonable having regard to appropriate consideration of other matters which the unitary charges are designed to cover such as lifecycle provisions. By performing look back procedures, we have checked the past accuracy of management's estimates around expenditure and RPI rates (which drives finance debtor and turnover). This has provided comfort over the robustness of management's projections in the financial model being used. • We recalculated the imputed interest receivable on the finance debtor. We found the calculations to be accurate. • We have also ensured that the actual results, including inputs such as inflation and tax rate changes, have been appropriately reflected in the model and financial statements. We found the calculations to be accurate. |
|
Integrated Accommodation Services Plc (“IAS”) is engaged under a 30 year project agreement with the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs signed on 13 June 2000. The agreement, under the Government Private Finance Initiative provides for the design, construction, financing, service and maintenance of new facilities, together with service, maintenance and remediation of certain existing facilities (together the “services”) for the Government Communications Headquarters in Cheltenham, England. The company reflects the capitalised costs of the services as a “contract debtor” since the contractual position and expectation is that these costs will be repaid via payments received from government known as the “unitary charge”. The unitary charge payments are designed to both repay the contract debtor over the life of the contract and to also contribute to running costs of ongoing service obligations of the company. The intention being that by the end of the arrangement, the contract debtor is settled in full. The determination of the amounts to allocate from the unitary charge payment to settle part of the outstanding contract debtor, and by implication what to leave as income in the financial statements requires some judgement and estimation in the model. Given the estimations and the size of the balances involved, this is an area of focus. The imputed interest receivable on finance debtor amounting to £17,883k and total finance debtor balance amounting to £228,651k has been disclosed within Note 6 and Note 10 in the financial statements. |
How we tailored the audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which it operates.
The company is a ‘Special purpose vehicle’ for a PFI project to carry out the design, construction, financing, service and maintenance of new facilities, together with the service, maintenance and remediation of certain existing facilities for the Government Communications Headquarters in Cheltenham, England. We audited the complete financial information of the company, including all material account balances, classes of transactions and financial statement disclosures.

| We tailored the sc...tementdisclosures. |
The impact of climate risk on our audit
As part of our audit we made enquiries of management to understand the extent of the potential impact of climate risk on the company’s financial statements, and we remained alert when performing our audit procedures for any indicators of the impact of climate risk. Our procedures did not identify any material impact as a result of climate risk on the company’s financial statements.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the financial statements as a whole as follows:
|
Overall company materiality |
£885,000 (2022: £774,000). |
|
How we determined it |
5% of profit before tax. This has been capped at 95% of group materiality |
|
Rationale for benchmark applied |
We believe that profit before tax is the primary measure used by the shareholders in assessing the performance of the entity, and is a generally accepted auditing benchmark. |
We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specifically, we use performance materiality in determining the scope of our audit and the nature and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for example in determining sample sizes. Our performance materiality was 75% (2022: 75%) of overall materiality, amounting to £663,750 (2022: £580,500) for the company financial statements.
In determining the performance materiality, we considered a number of factors - the history of misstatements, risk assessment and aggregation risk and the effectiveness of controls - and concluded that an amount in the middle of our normal range was appropriate.
We agreed with the Board of Directors that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above £44,000 (2022: £38,700) as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
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.
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.
However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
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 all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance 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 an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of 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 based on these responsibilities.
With respect to the Strategic report and Directors' report, we also considered whether the disclosures required by the UK Companies Act 2006 have been included.
Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Companies Act 2006 requires us also to report certain opinions and matters as described below.
| Statement of auditors responsibilities relating to other information | ||
| CY duration | ||
| The other informat...s described below. |
Strategic report and Directors' report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Strategic report and Directors' report for the year ended 31 December 2023 is consistent with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic report and Directors' report.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of directors' responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they 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.
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 auditors’ 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the UK corporation tax legislation and the Companies Act 2006, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and balances, possibly using data auditing techniques. However, it typically involves selecting a limited number of items for testing, rather than testing complete populations. We will often seek to target particular items for testing based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling to enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report.

General description of basis of measurement used in preparing financial statements CY duration These financial st... round £'000.
The directors have assessed future cash flows and are satisfied that the company can meet its financial obligations (including covenant compliance) as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern the directors have considered the impact of Covid-19, as described in the Strategic report.

FRS 102 allows a qualifying entity certain disclosure exemptions, subject to certain conditions, which have been complied with, including notification of, and no objection to, the use of exemptions by the company's shareholders. The company has taken advantage of the following exemptions:
- from preparing a statement of cash flows. Integrated Accommodation Services plc is a wholly owned subsidiary company of a group headed by Accommodation Services (Holdings) Limited and is included in the consolidated financial statements of that company, which can be obtained from the address given in note 20. Consequently, Integrated Accommodation Services plc has taken advantage of the exemption under the terms of FRS 102 paragraph 1.12(b), from the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows and Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d).
- from disclosing the company key management personnel compensation per FRS 102 paragraph 33.7

3.5 Turnover
Turnover represents the value of work done and services rendered, excluding sales related taxes. All turnover originates in the United Kingdom. The company is engaged in only one class of business and operates solely within the UK.
The company recognises income when it has fully fulfilled its contractual obligations under the terms of the project agreement. In accordance with FRS 102 s23.3, the company includes sales and purchase transactions related to variations under the original contract where the benefits and risks are retained by the company, within the financial statements as turnover and cost of sales.
Turnover for the year consisted of £46.3m basic income (2022: £38.7m) and variation income of £25.8m (2022
£26.9m)
Transactions amounting to £3.9m (2022: £5.4m) of revenue and the same value of cost of sales to which the company does not have access to all of the significant benefits or exposure to the significant risks are excluded from the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with FRS 102 s23.4, as in the opinion of the Directors, the company is acting as an agent for these transactions. The company does not receive any commissions on these transactions from the customer.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date, where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised when it is considered more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of underlying timing differences can be deducted.

The company accounts for and discloses its financial liabilities in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 s11. Management has determined its financial liabilities as being borrowings, trade creditors and accruals. All of the items are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in accordance with FRS 102 s11. They are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Discounts, premia and related costs of debt issue are charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the life of the instrument to which they relate, based upon the effective interest rate calculated in measuring amortised cost.

Basic financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Management has determined its financial assets as being cash, trade debtors, accrued income, and contract debtors.

The company meets the conditions to treat its contract debtor as a Service Concession Arrangement under FRS 102 s34.12 (Accounting by Operator as a Financial Asset), however, as the company entered into this concession prior to transition to FRS 102, under FRS 102 s35.10 (i), it is permitted to, and continues to account for the contract debtor using the same accounting policies being applied at the date of the transition.
Amounts recoverable under long term Private Finance Initiative contracts are transferred to a contract debtor. The amounts receivable (which may include the costs of construction of related assets) are treated as a long-term contract debtor from the certification of the project facilities, with a proportion of the contractual net operating revenue arising from the project being allocated to remunerate the contract debtor. Imputed interest receivable is allocated to the contract debtor using a property specific rate to generate a constant rate of return over the life of the contract. Over the course of the contract term, the contract debtor is expected to be fully repaid. Impairment has been considered by the board taking into account that all income is received from a government body.
The fair value disclosure of the contract debtor uses a discounted cashflow method as described in note 11.

The Company discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the same Group. Where appropriate, transactions of a similar nature are aggregated unless, in the opinion of the directors, separate disclosure is necessary to understand the effect of the transactions on the Company financial statements. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Accommodation Services (Holdings) Limited the company has taken advantage of the exemption under FRS 102 s33 - Related party disclosures of the requirement to disclose transactions with it.

Concession arrangements - The Concession arrangements undertaken by the company are considered to fall within the scope of FRS 102 s34.12.

ii. Lifecycle expenditure is a key estimate in the future performance of the company. The company bears all the risk associated with lifecycle expenditure. The latest forecast for future lifecycle expenditure is based on a full condition survey of the asset, leading to detailed costings for future expenditure, including a prudent level of contingency. Expenditure against plan is measured, and the plan amended annually via a desktop review to ensure adequacy of the future plan. A further full condition survey of the asset is planned for 2026. The plan is reviewed by an independent Technical Adviser on behalf of the controlling creditor before seeking approval of the plan by the controlling creditor. Management believe the current forecast is a realistic estimate of future lifecycle expenditure, and do not believe that future lifecycle costs will adversely affect the future results of the company.

The company has incurred significant expenditure in the construction of the facility on which it has claimed tax relief through capital allowances and claims for interest and loan related expenditure during the construction period. It has used these claims to offset its current liabilities and retains tax losses to offset liabilities in future years. As amounts are recovered to remunerate these costs they will be brought into current taxation in the year in which they are received. As a result of these claims there exist significant timing differences, which are expected to reverse over the life of the project agreement.
The company will continue to utilise tax losses to cover the maximum permitted proportion of its expected taxable profits in future financial periods. As a result of the Finance (No 2) Act 2017, the amount of annual profit earned after 1 April 2017 that can be relieved by brought forward losses is limited to 50%, subject to a £5 million allowance per group. No reversal of deferred tax liabilities is expected in the next financial period.
In the Spring Budget 2021, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2023 the corporation tax rate would increase to 25% (rather than remaining at 19%, as previously enacted). This new law was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021. For the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the current weighted averaged tax rate was 23.5%. Deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have been measured using these enacted tax rates and reflected in these financial statements.

11. Financial assets
As described in the accounting policies, trade debtors are not considered to be impaired. Trade debtors include invoices amounting to £590,000 (2022: £601,000), where the company does not have access to all of the significant risks and benefits of the transactions. Accordingly, those transactions are excluded from the statement of comprehensive income as explained in the accounting policies. The company bears no notable financial risk as a corresponding amount is included within trade creditors. As of 31 December 2023, trade debtors of £2,000 (2022: £48,000) were past their due date. These balances relate to customers where there is no history of default. The ageing of trade debtors is as follows: up to 3 months overdue £2,000 (2022: £48,000), 3-6 months overdue
£nil (2022: £nil) and over 6 months overdue £nil (2022: £nil).
The fair value of the contract debtor is based on cash flows over the life of the contract discounted using a rate of 8.54% based on the weighted average rate of return on the borrowings when measured at fair value (2022:8.21%). The fair values of trade debtors, and accrued income equal their book values.
Trade debtors, accrued income, contract debtor and cash which are classified as 'loans and receivables' that are neither past due nor impaired are shown by their credit risk below.

Full descriptions of the bonds are given in note 14. The basis of the fair values for financial assets is disclosed in note 11. The fair values for trade creditors and accruals are equal to their book values. Credit margins on long term bonds (both guaranteed and secured notes) vary in accordance with market demand and other factors. The fair value of the guaranteed secured bonds has been determined by reference to listed prices available from the markets on which the instruments involved are traded. Although the secured notes are not currently traded on any markets, the fair value for 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 has been determined by a valuation performed by M&G Investments.
The subordinated loan stock held by the company's parent undertaking has been valued at par. A range of fair values has been computed using discount rates between 12% and 16% which place the value between £26,271,000 and £21,791,000. As there is no market in which they may currently be traded, fair value at par represents the net present value of future anticipated payments, discounted at the coupon rate of 14%, on the assumption that they are held to maturity. The directors are of the opinion that this is a representative market discount rate given the restrictions imposed on the terms of the notes.
