Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

A.G. Hipgrave Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


The company's principal place of business is 9 Chancerygate Business Centre, Whiteleaf Road, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP3 9HD.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance
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.

Significant judgements and estimates
Outside of the construction contracts, which are detailed within turnover, the company has no significant judgements or estimates in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration receivable for the provision of services and rental income 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.

Specifically the company deals with long term contracts and in arriving at a value for these contracts the company uses an estimation of the work undertaken, with reference to costs incurred to date and expected costs, in order to arrive at contract values. The resultant value will be amounts recoverable on contracts, which is included within debtors, or payments received on account, which is included within creditors.

Retentions are recognised when due and included within debtors. Where amounts are not considered to be recoverable they are provided for as appropriate, Retentions due to suppliers are accounted for within creditors.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Plant and machinery -15% Straight line
Motor vehicles - 25% Straight line
Office equipment - 33% Straight line

No depreciation is provided on freehold buildings. This amounts to a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the directors this is necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. The cost of the asset is in excess of its carrying value and therefore no depreciation arises. The accounting policy is in accordance with FRS102 Section 1A.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, 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 balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to 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.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits.

Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised at the transaction price. Amounts are reviewed periodically and where amounts are not considered recoverable, amounts are written off net of recoverable vat to the profit and loss account.

The company accounts for retentions held within debtors, these are recorded at recoverable amounts and reviewed periodically.

Stock
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Work in progress held includes property being renovated for sale. These are held at cost.

Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable 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 recognised at the transaction price.

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividends
Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.
