Group Strategic Report |
for the year ended 30 June 2024 |
The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2024. |
The principal activities of the group during the year were that of residential property development, strategic land promotion, boat repairs, maintenance and marina services. |
Review of business |
The group made significant progress in the year, achieving turnover of £9,825,092 (2023: £7,890,742), gross profit of £3,850,589 (2023: £3,159,709) and operating profit of £841,109 (2023: £654,975 operating loss). |
Operationally, the strategic land business has seen a focussed effort resulting in a higher number of planning application submissions, with a strong success rate, which has and continues to drive a higher level of completions and strong profitability. The residential property development business has been impacted by the challenging housing market and wider economic uncertainty; however, the directors remain confident that the impact is on timing of sales, rather than any significant impact on sales values or margin. The performance of the boat repair, maintenance, marina and boat holidays business continues to be poor throughout the period and the directors have taken the decision to pursue a sale of this part of the business in the next financial year. |
Overall, with the removal of the underperforming boat and marina businesses, and the strong progression of the strategic land portfolio, the directors consider that the short and medium term prospects of the group are strong. |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
The macro-economic climate and inflationary pressures on disposable incomes, along with higher interest rates, present a challenge to the group, primarily in the boat and marina business and the residential property development business. The risk has been mitigated by pursuing a sale of the boat and marina business, and by carefully managing housing stock in the residential development business to minimise exposure. |
Material price fluctuation continued to impact the residential development business however, through careful planning, a broad supply chain and healthy contingencies in the budgets, the business has remained strongly profitable. |
Political and economical policy change presents a risk to the group but overall, with the impact of government focus on house building, there is expected to be a positive impact on the strategic land business as local authorities accelerate development plans to meet quotas. |
Financial key performance indicators |
The directors believe that the key financial performance indicators are those that communicate the financial |
performance and strength of the Company as a whole, these being turnover, gross profit or loss, and profit or loss before tax. |

Director |
Statement of director's responsibilities |
The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors |
So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
Auditors |
The auditors, Cooper Parry Group Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
On behalf of the board: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
M Scott Property Group Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of M Scott Property Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
M Scott Property Group Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Director. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of director |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We discussed with the Directors the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We discussed amongst the audit team the identified laws and regulations, and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance. |
During the audit we focussed on laws and regulations which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. |
Our procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to: inquires of management whether they have any knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud, and discussions amongst the audit team regarding risk of fraud such as opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of financial statements. We determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through judgements in accounting estimates. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |

M SCOTT PROPERTY GROUP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07064375) |
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
for the year ended 30 June 2024 |
1. | Statutory information |
M Scott Property Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 07064375 and registered office address is Suite 5, Oyster House, Severalls Lane, Colchester, Essex, CO4 9PD. |
2. | Accounting policies |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The comparatives include an 18 month period to 30 June 2023 and are therefore not entirely comparable. |
Going concern |
The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through a combination of formal bank borrowings and support from directors. The directors have confirmed that their loans will not be withdrawn in the foreseeable future unless funds permit. |
Scott Brundall BS is no longer a going concern owing to the sale during the year of its final asset and Scott BB and Scott BH are both no longer going concerns owing to a post year end sale of their trade and assets. However, as the group continue to operate M Scott Properties and Scott Residential profitably and both have good future outlooks, the directors are satisfied that the group remains a going concern and accordingly the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. |
Basis of consolidation |
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of M Scott Property Group Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries'). |
All direct subsidiaries are 100% owned. Any intercompany balances, trading or recharges within the group are eliminated upon consolidation. Investment balances are eliminated upon consolidation, with the share capital representing that of the ultimate parent company only. |
Key source of estimation, uncertainty and judgement |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practice requires management to make estimates and judgement that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. |
Undeveloped land and work in progress |
In order to value work in progress, and hence cost of sales in respect of completed sales, the company prepares site valuations which include an estimation of costs to complete and remaining revenues at regular intervals throughout the year, during which site development costs are allocated between units built in the current year and those to be built in future years on the basis of overall site profitability. |
Investments impairment |
Management consider the balance sheet position and the future forecasts of each subsidiary to consider if they are able to recover the investment value held, with a corresponding provision recorded for any deficit. |
Project related development costs |
These costs are capitalised when management have an expectation that there will be a successful planning application. Each project is regularly reviewed and written off at the point that management do not believe there will be a successful planning application. Management make an informed judgement based on their experience with similar sites and councils as to the likelihood of the application being successful. |

Depreciation |
The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates and the physical condition of the assets. |
Deferred tax |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only 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. |
Stock provision |
There is estimation uncertainty in calculating provision for stock where net realisable value is expected to be less than cost. Older stock lines are reviewed and provided for where considered necessary. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
The Group recognises the following turnover policies: |
Sale of standard products and repairs - revenue is recognised by the company on completion of the job. |
Sale of boats - revenue is recognised across the life of the build. |
Rental of boats - revenue is recognised over the period the boat is occupied. |
Management charges - charges in respect of costs recharged within the Group invoiced during the year. |
Property sales - A property sale is recognised on legal completion, or where build is complete and contracts have been exchanged at the year end and where legal notice has been served or where the contract specifies a completion date within the same timeframe. Where the company makes sales of social housing, revenue is recognised when the company has fulfilled all of it's obligations as part of the sales contract. |
Land and property development - A sale is recognised on legal completion, or when contracts have been exchanged at the year end and when legal notice has been served or where the contract specifies a completion date within the same timeframe. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of businesses in 2016 and 2017, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 10 years. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
Tangible fixed assets under the revaluation model are stated at fair value less subsequent accumulated |
depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient |
regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined |
using fair value at the end of the reporting period. Revaluation gains and losses are reported in other |
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Freehold property | - | 2% - 10% straight line |
Short Leasehold | - | Straight line over the life of the lease |
Improvements to freehold property | - | 10% straight line |
Plant and machinery | - | 10% - 25% reducing balance & 10% straight line |
Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% - 25% reducing balance |
Motor vehicles | - | 25% reducing balance |
Computer equipment | - | 25% reducing balance |
Hire Fleet included in Plant and machinery are accounted for under the revaluation model. All other asset classes are accounted fo under the cost model. |
Investment property |
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
If the property is subsequently sold but work continues on the project, then any remaining and future costs are capitalised within the project related development costs. |
Stocks and work in progress |
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
Stocks and development land are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of work in progress and finished houses includes all appropriate production overheads (excluding interest and depreciation). Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less the estimated costs of disposal. Development land is included where contracts to purchase have been exchanged prior to the year end. |

Financial instruments |
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due. |
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and bank overdrafts. |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, 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. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Project related prepayments |
Costs are capitalized on the balance sheet if they relate to ongoing projects for which there is an expectation of a future successful planning application. |

As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the Income Statement of the parent company is not presented as part of these financial statements. |

The prior year balance sheet has been restated to reclassify all of the prior year WIP costs into project related development costs. There is no change in management's accounting policies however the directors believe that the change in classification better reflects the nature of the costs and provides a more accurate presentation for users of the financial statements. |
There has been no impact on the income statement as a result of this prior year adjustment. |
