Accounting policies
Company information
Pennyfarthing Landholdings Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Pennyfarthing House, South Drive, Ossemsley, New Milton, Hampshire, England, BH25 5TL.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 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 under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;
Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;
Section 26 ‘Share based Payment’: Share-based payment expense charged to profit or loss, reconciliation of opening and closing number and weighted average exercise price of share options, how the fair value of options granted was measured, measurement and carrying amount of liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments, explanation of modifications to arrangements;
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Pennyfarthing Developments Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office,
1.2
Going concern
The company is a member of the Pennyfarthing Developments Limited group of companies.true
The resources available to the company are monitored as a part of the overall group process. Plans and forecasts are made 3 years in advance. These plans are periodically reviewed with sensitivities applied to stress test the outcomes. Input from all departments is sought so the best possible insight is provided.
These plans allow for cash forecasts to be considered in the short, medium and long term. Weekly cashflows considering the next six to twelve months ensure that short term cash is always readily available.
On this basis the directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the going concern basis was no longer appropriate.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Preparation of the financial statements requires the directors to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in that period and future periods where the revision affect both the current and future periods.
The main accounting estimates are:
Land stock values - The company establishes a reliable estimate of the market value of the land which it holds in stock for future development and provides for any loss in value based on internal valuations and the directors expertise in this area.
Assessment of costs to complete - This involves estimating final development costs and selling prices and impacts profit recognised in allocating costs to sales completions before and after the year end.
Accrued costs - involving a degree of estimation uncertainty in respect of final account settlement.
