Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure 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 pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the company.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
Basis of preparation
These 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.
Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the total amount in respect of sales of land sites, and other related revenue streams. Sales of property developments are recognised upon completion.
The company is a lessor in respect of the investment property which it owns. Rental income is recognised within other operating income in the financial statements, and is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Prior period restatement
It was found that property which has been held in work in progress should have been classified at inception, and more properly held as, investment property due to the intention relating to these assets. The accounts therefore have been restated to reflect this amendment, which has led the investment property balance to increase by £147,246 and WIP to reduce by £147,246.
Government grants
Grants received in respect of capital projects are recognised as deferred income on the balance sheet, and amortised over the expected useful life of the project to which they relate.
In the opinion of the directors this useful life is 40 years, with the annual release recognised in other operating income.
Tax
Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Investment property
The Directors 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 within other operating income within profit and loss.
Stocks
Stocks comprise of development work in progress, which includes development land.
Stock is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. At each reporting date stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss.

Financial instruments
Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Bank loans; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
The company has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102.
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Except for bank loans, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Bank loans are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Critical judgements and estimation uncertainty
In applying the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following areas are where the Directors have applied judgement in the preparation of the financial statements:
Valuation of investment properties
As described within the accounting policies, the investment properties are held at the balance sheet date at their market value. The directors have applied his professional knowledge of the sector, coupled with discussions with other professionals in evaluating opportunities in order to derive market values.
