The company recognises revenue from the following major sources:

• Sale of land and properties

• Rental of properties for development/resale

The nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms of the company's major sources of revenue are as follows:

Revenue from the sale of land and properties is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on completion of the sale), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue from contracts for the rental of properties is recognised when certain performance obligations have been met, such as managing the properties and handling maintenance requests, the amount of rental income can be measured reliably by reference to rental contracts, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company. Revenue is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Stocks and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes.

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account in the year they are payable.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

The total of bank loans and overdraft for which security has been given amounted to £1,000,000 (2023: £1,000,000). The bank loans and overdraft are secured over specific properties as legal charges by Handelsbanken Plc.

The operating leases represent the rental of residential properties to third parties. The leases are negotiated over terms of 12 months and rentals are fixed for this period. There are options in place for either party to extend the lease term at the end of the primary period.
