Acorn Builders (Pewsey) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 January 2026

General Information

Acorn Builders (Pewsey) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales, registration number 03695966, registration address Unit 18, Salisbury Road Business Park, Pewsey, Wiltshire, SN9 5PZ.

The presentation currency is £ sterling.

Accounting policies

Significant accounting policies

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by Section 1A of the standard)

Revenue Recognition

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents
amounts receivable for services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, when it
is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities described below.

Construction Contracts

When the outcome of atransaction for the rendering of services can be estimated reliably in terms of revenue, costs and its stage of completion, the company recognises revenue on the sales of services in the reporting period in which the services are rendered by reference to the stage of completion of the specific transaction at the end of the reporting period. The stage of completion is determined on the basis of the actual completion of a proportion of the total services to be rendered.

Government grants

Government grants received are credited to deferred income. Grants towards capital expenditure are released to the income statement over the expected useful life of the assets. Grants received towards revenue expenditure are released to the income statement as the related expenditure is incurred.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 taxation

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.

Tangible fixed assets

Freehold land and property is held at valuation less any provision for impairment, and depreciation is not provided.
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:

Plant and Machinery	15% Reducing Balance
Motor Vehicles	25% Reducing Balance
Computer Equipment	25% Reducing Balance

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for any permanent diminution in value.

Stocks

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 items.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation as a result of a past event which it is more probable than not will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

When a financial asset or financial liability is recognised initially, the entity shall measure it at the transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes, in effect, a financing transaction. An arrangement constitutes a financing transaction if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.

At the end of each reporting period, an entity shall measure all financial instruments which constitute a financing arrangement at fair value and recognise changes in fair value in profit or loss.
