   1.        ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Financial Reporting Standards in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP).

A summary of the more important accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are set out below:

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the historical cost convention.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Bonds and loans are held at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The discount and issue costs of the bond are amortised over its life.

Short term borrowings and overdrafts are classified as other liabilities and are held at cost.

Bond issuing costs

Costs in respect of the issue of new bonds are deducted from proceeds and amortised to the profit and loss account over the expected life of the bond.

   2.        STAFF COSTS 

The company employs no staff. All staff are provided by Allia Bond Services Limited.

None of the directors had any interest in the company and none received remuneration for their services.

   Bond to fund Golden Lane Housing 
    loan                                    10,867 
                                            10,867 
                                       =========== 
 

On 29 July, 2014 the Company successfully issued a GBP11 million bond at a coupon of 4.375% with repayment due in full on 29 July 2021. The funds received after bond issue costs were GBP10,867,000 which equates to a fixed interest rate of 4.575%.

The costs of issuing the bond were GBP133,000 leaving a net balance of GBP10,867,000 which was lent to Golden Lane Housing Limited (the "Charity"), an independent charity established in 1998 by Mencap.

The bond issue costs are amortised over the term of the bond using the effective interest rate method. The Charity is liable to the Company for both the bond coupon and the amortisation cost of the bond issue cost, under an agreement between the companies.

The Company's rights to receive payments under the loan from the Charity and certain related rights under the issue documents for the Bonds (the "Charged Assets") are charged as security for the benefit of the investors in the Bonds. This means that if the Charity fails to make payments of interest or repayments of principal under the loan agreement and this results in the occurrence of an event of default under the terms and conditions of the Bonds, the Trustee (acting on the instructions of the Bondholders) may enforce the terms of the Loan against the Charity.

The bond prospectus stipulates that the obligations of the Company to pay amounts due on the Bond are limited to the Charged Assets. Therefore, the risk of default by the Charity is fully borne by the investors in the Bonds.

The borrowings are due as follows:
