Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Stowford Mill Development Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 08945690 . 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
As at the year end, the Company’s balance sheet shows an overall deficiency of assets of £5,519,633 (2024: £3,616,992) and so accordingly 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 Directors and their associated companies have continued to support the company financially and with the support of the Company’s secured lenders, have been able to complete the development and sale of the current phase of the Company’s property development. The Directors are seeking to secure alternative funding to take the next phase of the property development forward and so accordingly the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have also reviewed the position for twelve months from the date the accounts were approved.
2.3. Turnover
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.
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:
Fixtures & Fittings 15% Reducing balance
Computer Equipment 33% Straight Line
2.5. 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 stocks. 
Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.
2.6. Pensions
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognized as a prepayment.
3. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 3 (2024: 3)
