The company is entitled to exemption from audit under Section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 in accordance with Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for:

(a)	ensuring that the company keeps accounting records which comply with Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006 and

(b)

preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at the end of each financial year and of its profit or loss for each financial year in accordance with the requirements of Sections 394 and 395 and which otherwise comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 relating to financial statements, so far as applicable to the company.

The financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

In accordance with Section 444 of the Companies Act 2006, the Profit and loss account has not been delivered.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 19 June 2020 and were signed on its behalf by:

M S Hirschfield - Director

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

A. H. Field (Developers) 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 (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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 as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

There were no material departures from that standard.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates,

value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings

-

20% on reducing balance

Motor vehicles

-

20% on reducing balance

Investment property

Certain of the company's properties are held for long term investment at their carrying value, assessed for

impairment or revaluation annually by the directors according to their knowledge and experience of the properties,

their location and general economic and commercial factors.

Investment properties are accounted for in accordance with FRS 102 section 1A, as follows:

(i) No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties and they are revalued annually. The

surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account for the year. Any surplus on

revaluation is treated as undistributable reserves until such time as the surplus is realised, and

(ii) No depreciation is provided in respect of leasehold investment properties where the lease has over 20

years to run.

The treatment as regards to the company's investment properties may be a departure form the requirements of the

Companies Act concerning the depreciation of fixed assets. However, these properties are not held for consumption

but for investment and the directors consider that systematic annual depreciation would be inappropriate. The

accounting policy adopted is therefore necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view.

Depreciation or amortisation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount which

might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are carried at market value. Where the market value is not readily available, the board

estimates market value. All revaluations of investments are reported in the Profit and loss account. Any surplus on

revaluation is treated as undistributable reserves until such time as the surplus is realised.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and loss account, 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

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held

under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases

are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of

the future payments is treated as a liability.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which places reliance on the continued

support of the company's parent company and fellow group undertakings and the company bankers.

The directors have no reason to believe that the company bankers will not continue to provide the necessary loans

and working capital finance to the company on their current agreed terms. The directors have received assurances

that support provided by the parent company and fellow group undertakings will continue to be provided and that

they will not seek repayment of amounts due to them until such time as the company can do so without detriment

to liabilities due to external creditors and its ongoing working cash flow requirements, and in any case not before a

date which is within 12 months from the date of these financial statements.

Therefore, the Directors believe that the company has adequate resources to continue its current operations and

that it remains appropriate to prepare the company's financial statements on a going concern basis and the

financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company was unable to continue as a

going concern.
