Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in sterling on the historical cost basis.
Going concern
The company is part of the Acorn Property Group and the ultimate parent company is Acorn PG Holdings Limited. The group has made a loss and has net liabilities however has unrealised profits on future development projects and is managing group cashflows to ensure liabilities are being paid as they fall due for payment. The group is receiving financial support from related companies to provide it with adequate working capital for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and the ultimate parent company has provided group support. For these reasons, the directors have prepared the company's financial statements on a going concern basis.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. The key judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below. (i) Funding arrangements Management has assessed the substance of funding agreements for other loans and consider them to be financing arrangements. The sums advanced under these agreements are therefore included in creditors as financial liabilities. The financial liabilities are measured at transaction price, including any transaction costs and subsequent measurement at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. With the exception of the estimate described above, the directors consider that there are no other significant judgements or estimates in the preparation of these financial statements.
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated 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.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Summary audit opinion
The auditor's report dated
26 December 2025
was unqualified
, however, the auditor drew attention to the following by way of emphasis.
We draw attention to note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company is reliant on support from the ultimate parent undertaking, Acorn PG Holdings Limited. We note the group is receiving financial support from related companies. The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent on continuing financial support by the ultimate parent undertaking, which in turn is dependent on the continuing financial support of these related companies. These conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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.
