GROUND DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC258485)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Ground Developments Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Turnover
Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of goods and services net of value added tax, rebates and discounts.

Revenue is recognised as follows:

Sales of goods are recognised when the company has delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products, and collectability of the related receivables is fairly assured.In respect of products sold with a right of return, accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for such returns at the time of sale.

Service revenues are recognised as those services are provided to customers.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost
Plant, equipment & machinery - 15% on reducing balance

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.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. The costs of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

Long term contracts
Amounts recoverable on long term contracts, which are included in debtors, are stated at the net sales value of the work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. No profit is recognised until a contract has advanced to a stage where the total profit can be assessed with reasonable certainty. Income arising from settlement of contract claims is recorded when final negotiations have been completed and the amount of the settlement is considered to be collectable.

Impairment of assets
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered on impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts

Short term debtors and creditors
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price including transaction costs. Any losses arising from impairment review at the reporting date are recognised in the income statement.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

Financial instruments
Fair value of financial assets carried at amortised cost - The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets carried at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate to their fair values.

Critical estimates and judgements
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.

Accounting for construction contracts - The company undertakes construction contracts which take place over a period of time and revenue and profits are recognised as the company performs under these contracts. The extent to which the contract revenue and profits have been earned involve estimating a percentage of completion under ongoing contracts which is based on costs incurred at the date as a proportion of total estimated costs.
