NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Sky-House Construct Limited is a private Company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales (registered number: 09499855). Hope Works 25, Mowbray Street, Sheffield, England, S3 8EL. The principal activity of the Company during the year continued to be that of construction management services.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company's functional and presentation currency is pound sterling.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
At the reporting date, the Company had net assets. However, it forms part of a wider group whose liabilities exceeded its assets overall.
This position is not unusual within the house-building sector, where significant costs are incurred upfront in the development cycle, prior to the recognition of revenue from completed unit sales.
The Directors have assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account the financial position of the wider group. Since the year-end, unit completions within the group have begun to generate positive cash flows and contribute to overall profitability. The Directors remain confident that the developments, once completed, will be profitable and cash generative.
This assessment is based on the assumption that the group’s existing funding arrangements will remain in place until the developments become cash generative and return the group to profitability. While formal confirmation of ongoing support has not been obtained, the Directors believe that relationships with both private and institutional lenders remain strong, with all parties aligned in their commitment to the successful completion of the ongoing developments.
Based on this assessment, and having considered the Company’s position within the group, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows.
The depreciation rates used are:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the same period as the related expenditure.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as bank and cash balances, trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to and from related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Housing developments - work in progress:
House developments in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value in accordance with FRS 102. Cost includes direct expenditure incurred on the development, along with any identifiable overheads that can be directly attributed to the project. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price of the development, less the costs required to complete the project and any necessary selling expenses. At each reporting date, work in progress is reviewed for impairment, and if the carrying amount exceeds the net realisable value, a provision is made to write down the value accordingly.
|
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. As a result, accounting estimates will seldom equal the actual outcomes. The estimates and assumptions that involve the greatest level of uncertainty are addressed below:
Housing developments - work in progress:
The valuation of work in progress at the year-end requires a degree of estimation, particularly in determining net realisable value. This involves assessing the estimated selling price of developments, considering current market conditions, and deducting the expected costs to complete and sell the properties. Management exercises judgement in evaluating these factors, including assumptions about future sales prices, demand levels, and potential changes in construction costs. Any changes in these estimates could impact the carrying value of work in progress and the corresponding financial statements.
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 18 (2023 - 19).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 was qualified.
The qualification in the audit report was as follows:
Basis for qualified opinion
We were appointed as auditors of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024 and, therefore, did not observe the work in progress attributable to the housing developments at the beginning of the period. We were unable to satisfy ourselves, through alternative means, regarding the existence of work in progress as at 31 March 2023. As opening work in progress affects the determination of financial performance and cash flows, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been necessary in respect of the profit reported in the statement of comprehensive income.
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 Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 qualified opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which describes the basis of the Directors’ assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company had net assets as at 31 March 2024, it forms part of a wider group in which certain entities have net liabilities. Due to the interconnected nature of the group’s financing and operations, the Directors' going concern assessment considers the position of the group as a whole. As explained in note 2.2, the assessment is dependent on continued support from existing funding providers, for which formal confirmation has not been obtained. These circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other matters
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023 were not audited as a result of the previously available exemption under s477 of the Companies Act 2006.
The audit report was signed on 3 April 2025 by Malcolm Pope BA FCA (Senior Statutory Auditor) on behalf of Shorts.
