Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
The Directors recorded a busy year enabling the construction team to complete block one of phase two to 100%, block two to 90% with landscaping and waring coat to roads outstanding. At the year end the company had completed on the sale of two apartments in block one with three reservations in place. At the time of signing these accounts the building works, road work and landscaping are 100% completed, four apartments are sold and there is a further reservation with an ongoing strong marketing, advertising, and sales program in place. |
On completion of the sales in phase 2, the directors intend to proceed with phase 3 (the Duchy site) for which planning has been granted for four houses and four apartments. |
The Directors are aware that Homes England, the main funders to date, will be concluding their support once the sales of phase two is completed. The directors are in discussion with Homes England regarding the terms for the final financial settlement, but this is unlikely to be agreed until all sales in phase 2 are complete. Once the agreement with Homes England is in place the directors believe that separate funding could be made available for phase 3 maximising the site's potential for which the infrastructure is already in place and creating a surplus to enable the company to settle other financial development loans which remain in place. |
For reasons outlined above, there is significant uncertainty about the company's ability to complete phase 3 and settle all its liabilities and the directors have therefore taken a prudent approach in preparing these financial statements. Costs in opening work in progress relating to phase 3 of £923,819 have not been included in closing work in progress carried forward and the deferred tax asset brought forward of £325,420 relating to trading losses has been reversed and not carried forward. |
However, the directors hold a positive outlook that an agreement will be reached with Homes England and other funders to settle all loans and accrued interest owed to them which at the balance sheet date amounted to £8,444,820. This would see charges over the development site released and enable the directors to secure funding for phase 3. Having taken advice on this and after careful consideration of all factors, the directors have concluded that the company can effectively manage its business risks and have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. |
Turnover |
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received net of discounts and incentives. |
Revenue from the sale of development property is recognised on unconditional exchange of contracts. |
Work in progress |
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all direct expenditure plus overheads and finance costs incurred during the development period up to the point of practical completion but not including those finance costs incurred between phases where no development is taking place. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |
Financial instruments |
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Trade debtors and creditors are classed as basic financial instruments and are initially measured at transaction price. |
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and short-term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less. |
Loans and borrowings are classified as basic financial instruments and are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument, unless exempt from such treatment |
