STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Fair review of the business

The company continues to fund various developments and until the ventures are complete, the company maintains healthy revenue streams from it's management fees and non development investment income.

 

Turnover fell from £4.2m to £2.9m due to a reduction in management fees and sales completions from developments that were completed during the year. There was also a reduction in sales completions. The company continues to seek its returns on investments and income from the group to recover its overhead costs.

Our Stakeholders

The directors have always paid due regard to the effect of their actions on the various stakeholders who have an interest in the business. Section 172 of the Companies Act requires us to report each year on the steps taken to fulfil these obligations towards our stakeholders.

 

There are a great many parties who may be affected by the decisions made in the day-to-day running of the business and, as such, can be considered stakeholders. It is the responsibility of the board of directors to balance these interests in order to deliver the best possible outcome for all concerned.

 

Shareholders

Shareholders will look for annual income in the form of dividends as well as capital appreciation from growth in

the net assets of the company. Robustness in moral awareness and social responsibility are also increasingly

important considerations for this company.

 

Employees

Salary and benefit packages are obviously high on an employee’s list of priorities but so, too, are the working environment, a sense of community and the self-worth that comes from the knowledge that your employer values your opinion.

 

JV Partners

Our joint venture partners are equity investors in specific projects. They will expect to be kept informed of the progress of their investment and to receive their agreed share of profits at its conclusion. They will also want to ensure that appropriate social and moral protocols are being followed.

 

Funders

The financial institutions that fund our debt requirement each have their own commercial and ethical frameworks within which they work. We are required to conform to their standards of management in relation to any outstanding borrowing.

 

Subcontractors & Suppliers

We treat our subcontractors in the same way as our employees in terms of working conditions and inclusivity. We also keep in close contact with our suppliers as it is of mutual benefit to be well informed.

 

Local Community

It is important to appreciate and respect the views of the communities in which we work. Each has its own issues that have local significance and are not ignored.

 

Customers

Arguably the most important stakeholder of all is the customer. Without customers we have no business. The quality of both our product and our customer service is therefore of paramount importance.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- 2 -
Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks faced by the company are those associated with being part of a large property group. These risks are considered minimal due to strong anticipated trading of the group. Whilst there will always be risks associated with the activity of property development the group is generally risk-averse and makes every effort to manage that risk. Thus the possibility of cost overruns is minimised by the use of fixed price contracts and disciplined budgetary control; the uncertainty inherent in borrowing at fluctuating rates of interest is mitigated by the use of treasury instruments such as interest rate swaps where appropriate; the possibility of failure to obtain planning permission is reduced by acquiring land in suitable locations; and the risk of sustaining significant losses on particular developments is addressed by the participation of joint venture partners in the majority of projects.

Going Concern

The directors have assessed the company’s cashflow forecasts from future sales and operations and with continued support from Galliard Group Limited, they are satisfied that there is sufficient available cash for at least the next twelve months to meet the operating needs of the company.

Key performance indicators

The company's statement of comprehensive income is set out on page 9.

 

The company recorded a gross loss of £1.67m (2024 gross profit - £0.21m).

 

The significant contribution to other income is the recovery of overhead costs from group developments.

 

The company administration expenses were £11.6m (2024 - £8.5m). The administration expenses in the year ended 31 March 2025 saw an increase in staffing costs due to a reduction in the bonus payments in the year ended 31 March 2024 that had previously been accrued.

Qualifying third party indemnity provisions

The company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors during the year. These provisions remain in force at the reporting date.

Disabled persons

Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the company continues and that the appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the company that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.

Employee involvement

The company's policy is to consult and discuss with employees, through unions, staff councils and at meetings, matters likely to affect employees' interests.

 

Information about matters of concern to employees is given through information bulletins and reports which seek to achieve a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the company's performance.

Future developments

As part of the Galliard group, the company will continue to benefit from access to a large portfolio of internal construction projects. In addition, the group's relationships with its various joint venture partners will generate opportunities with third parties.

 

The directors are satisfied that the company is well placed to improve its profitability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBER OF GALLIARD HOMES LIMITED
- 5 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Galliard Homes Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

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 Auditor's 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 UK, including the FRC’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 opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report and financial statements, other than the financial statements and our Auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

 

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBER OF GALLIARD HOMES LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

 

How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

GALLIARD HOMES LIMITED

TO THE MEMBER OF GALLIARD HOMES LIMITED (CONTINUED)

We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through:

 

 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

 

 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

 

 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor’s report.

Accounting policies
Company information

Galliard Homes Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 3rd Floor, Sterling House, Langston Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 3TS.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

 

 

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Galliard Group Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, Sterling House, Langston Road, IG10 3TS.

The company has taken advantage of s400 of the Companies Act not to produce group financial statements, as it is included in the consolidated financial statements of Galliard Group Limited, a company registered in England and Wales.

1.2
Going concern

In their assessment of going concern, the directors have prepared forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statementstrue and with the continued support of Galliard Group Limited, the directors are satisfied that there is sufficient available cash for at least the next twelve months to meet the operating needs of the company.

 

The company's loan facility of £6,329,829 was due for repayment on 22 November 2024, however the lender was not calling in the loan and the directors are currently in discussions with the existing lender to renegotiate new terms of the loan. The directors are confident that they will be able to refinance the loan with the existing lender. A second loan facility of £1,380,386 is due for repayment on 12 December 2026. Written confirmation has been received by the directors from Galliard Group Limited confirming their intention to support the company to ensure it is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due (including any loan repayments if required) for a period of not less than one year from the date of signing these financial statements.

Accounting policies

1.3
Revenue

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable following legal completion of developed units, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

1.4
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment 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:

Short Leasehold property
Over the period of the lease
Fixtures and equipment
2 to 5 years
Motor vehicles
4 years
1.5
Non-current investments

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

1.6
Impairment of non-current assets

At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an 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 the 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 reversal is recognised in profit or loss up to, but not above, its original value.

1.7
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises the purchase cost of land and buildings and development expenditure.

 

Profit on sales of developed properties are taken on receipt of sales proceeds at legal completion. Costs attributable to each sale comprises an appropriate proportion of total costs of the development.

1.8
Financial instruments

Financial assets, other than investments, are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently held at cost, less any impairment.

 

Financial liabilities are measured initially at transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost.

 

Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the instrument's contractual obligation, rather than its legal form.

 

Finance costs are charged to profit and loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.

(Continued)
- 14 -
Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

 

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

 

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9
Taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.

Current tax

The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except:

 

 

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences.

1.10
Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

 

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value.

1.11
Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

1.12
Other operating income
Other operating income comprises commissions, management fees and net rental income receivable.
1.13
Bare trustees

The company is party to a number of joint developments where the property is held on trust by a nominee company. These developments are accounted for as jointly controlled operations. Accordingly the company accounts for its own share of the assets, liabilities and cash flows measured according to its beneficial share of the arrangement.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. In preparing these financial statements, the directors have had to make the following judgements and estimates:

Carrying amount of inventories

In applying the company’s accounting policy for the valuation of inventories the Directors are required to assess the expected selling price and costs to sell each of the units that constitute the company’s work in progress. Cost includes the cost of acquisition of sites, the cost of infrastructure and construction works, and legal and professional fees incurred during development prior to sale. Estimation of the selling price is subject to significant inherent uncertainties, in particular the prediction of future trends in the market value of property.

 

Whilst the Directors exercise due care and attention to make reasonable estimates, taking into account all available information in estimating the future selling price, the estimates will, in all likelihood, differ from the actual selling prices achieved in future periods and these differences may, in certain circumstances, be very significant.

 

The company develops sites for residential and commercial property purposes. The success of the

development depends on short-term variability of the property market and economic factors which affect demand. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of stock and work in progress and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stock provision, management considers the nature, state and location of the development, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated market and economic conditions affecting the saleability of the respective properties in the development.

Provisions

The company makes assumptions to determine the timing and its best estimate of the quantum of its
