Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Thakeham Concrete Products Limited (registered number:
|
R H Davidge
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Thakeham Concrete Products Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is Heath Common, Storrington, Sussex, RH20 3AD, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
Group accounts exemption s399
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts, on the basis that the group of which this is the parent qualifies as a small group. The financial statements present information about the Company as an individual entity and not about its group.
Finance costs are charged to the Profit and Loss Account over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The Company as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The fair value is determined annually by the directors, on an open market value for existing use basis.
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Balance Sheet when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, or the Company transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or the Company, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
The Company has adopted FRS 102 1A for the year ended 30 September 2025 and has restated the comparative year.

Notes to the reconciliations
| (i) | Investment property revaluation |
| On transition to FRS 102 Section 1A, the Company elected to use the fair value of its freehold property at 1 October 2023 as deemed cost in accordance with Section 35. The resulting increase in the carrying value of the property of £2,836,365 was recognised. | |
| (ii) | Deferred taxation |
| A deferred tax liability of £709,091 was recognised in respect of revaluation gain on investment property, reducing revaluation reserve by the same amount. | |
| (iii) | Revaluation reserve |
| The net effect of the above adjustments was an increase in revaluation reserve of £2,127,274 as at 1 October 2023. |
The Company has adopted FRS 102 1A for the year ended 30 September 2025 and has restated the comparative year amounts.
| As previously reported | Adjustment | As restated | ||||
| Year ended 30 September 2024 | £ | £ | £ | |||
| Investment property | 556,595 | 2,836,365 | 3,392,960 | |||
| Deferred tax liability | 0 | 709,091 | 709,091 | |||
| Revaluation reserve | 0 | 2,127,274 | 2,127,274 |
The Company transitioned from FRS 105 to FRS 102 Section 1A with effect from 1 October 2023. In accordance with Section 35 of FRS 102, an opening statement of financial position was prepared at that date. The Company elected to apply the exemption permitting fair value as deemed cost for its freehold property. Consequently, the property was revalued at the transition date and the resulting increase in value, together with the related deferred tax liability, was recognised through equity. Reconciliations of equity and profit from FRS 105 to FRS 102 are provided above and in note 2.
