Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Dean Clarke Estate Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 08314536 . The registered office is Winslade House Winslade Drive, Clyst St Mary, EX5 1FY.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The company has incurred a loss during the year, due to vacant office space in the company's investment property
and increased costs of debt, arising from changes in wider UK economic conditions. Whilst the company's balance
sheet shows overall net assets of £712,899 (2023 - £861,081), due to continued losses and the high cost of debt,
the Directors have had to consider the basis upon which the accounts should be prepared and determine whether a
going concern basis remains appropriate. The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the
Directors and Group companies which have provided financial support to the Company will continue to do so, to
enable the company to return to profitability or to realise value through the sale of the company's assets. The
Directors have reviewed the position for 12 months from the date that the accounts were approved.
2.3. Turnover
Turnover comprises the fair value of the rent received from tenants of the company’s investment properties in the
ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, rebates and discounts.
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 25% reducing balance
Fixtures & Fittings 25% reducing balance
Computer Equipment 25% reducing balance
2.5. Investment Properties
Investment property is carried at fair value, derived from the current market prices for comparable real estate
determined annually by external valuers. The valuers use observable market prices, adjusted if necessary for any
difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or
loss.
2.6. Taxation
The tax expense for the period comprises deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change
attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in
other comprehensive income.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the
financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when 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.
2.7. Debtors
Debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is
established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according
to the original terms of the receivables.
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of
business.

2.8. Creditors
Creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Creditors are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional
right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the
reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting
date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from suppliers.
