Statement of Directors responsibilities |
|
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
|
Company law requires the Directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. |
|
Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). |
|
Under company law the Directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. |
In preparing these accounts, the Directors are required to: |
● |
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
● |
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
● |
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
|
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. |
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
|
Small company provisions |
|
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. |
|
This report was approved by the board on 31 July 2024 and signed on its behalf. |

Directors' statement |
|
We confirm that as Directors we have met our duty in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 to: |
|
● |
ensure that the company has kept adequate accounting records; |
● |
prepare accounts which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at 31 March 2024 and of its profit and loss for the year then ended in accordance with the FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'; and |
● |
follow the applicable accounting policies, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the notes to the financial statements. |

Independent Chartered Accountants' review report to the Directors of GOODLIFFE DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED |
|
We have reviewed the accounts of GOODLIFFE DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'. |
This report is made solely to the Company’s Directors, as a body, in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated 30 November 2012. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's Directors those matters we have agreed with them in our engagement letter and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s Directors as a body for our work, for this report or the conclusions we have formed. |
Directors' statement |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. |
Accountants' responsibility |
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on our review of the accounts. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised), Engagements to review historical financial statements and ICAEW Technical Release TECH 09/13AAF Assurance review engagements on historical financial statements. ISRE 2400 also requires us to comply with the ICAEW Code of Ethics. |
Scope of the assurance review |
A review of the accounts in accordance with ISRE 2400 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We have performed additional procedures to those required under a compilation engagement. These primarily consist of making enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, applying analytical procedures and evaluating the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these accounts. |
Conclusion |
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accounts have not been prepared: |
● |
so as to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 March 2024, and of its loss for the year then ended; |
● |
in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to smaller entities; and |
● |
in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |

Notes to the Accounts |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
|
|
1 |
Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard). |
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration derived from the principal activites of the Company. |
|
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold property, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: |
|
|
Freehold property |
not depreciated |
|
Fixtures, fittings and office equipment |
25% to 33% straight line |
|
|
Creditors |
|
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
|
Freehold property |
|
Freehold property is initially recognised at cost and then subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in value are recognised in the profit and loss account. |
