Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1

General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital incorporated in England. The address of the registered office is 29 Bridge Street, Belper, Derby, DE56 1AY.

2

Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS102 - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (FRS102) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to the small companies regime. The requirements of Section 1A of FRS102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents gross sale of completed property developments and rental income generated from the company's investment property portfolio. Revenue from property development sales is recognised on legal completion. Rental income is recognised in accordance with the terms of the property leases.

Interest income and dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.

Tax

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit reported in the profit and loss account 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. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

It also represents any over/under provision of corporation tax for a prior year.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

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 profit and loss account.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Office and computer equipment

33.3% Straight line

Plant and equipment

25% Reducing balance

Investment properties

Investment properties are carried at fair value, derived from the current market prices for comparable real estate determined annually by external valuers or the directors. The valuers use observable market prices, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Investments

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through the profit and loss account if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable in one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Costs comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.

3

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 4 (2022 - 5).
