Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These abridged financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
These abridged financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, rounded to the nearest pound.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Judgements
The Directors have made no individual judgements that have a significant impact upon the financial statements, excepting those involving estimation which are dealt with below. |
Construction work in progress |
The principal judgement involved in preparing the financial statements is an assessment of the likelihood of realisation of a profit on construction work in progress. This is discussed in relation to the estimation uncertainty (below). |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Housing Market Risk
The company is fundamentally affected by the level of house prices in the area of its operation. These in turn are affected by factors such as credit availability, employment levels, interest rates, consumer confidence and the supply of land with planning permission. It is not possible for the company to fully mitigate such risks. The directors have considered the senstivity to house price changes and concluded that the risk of not realising a gain on the contracts in progress is remote. The carrying amount is £Nil (2018 -£294,594).
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the construction of dwellings and the provision of ancillary services 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.

Accounting policies (continued) |
Contract revenue recognition
Turnover on work carried out under a construction contract relates to construction work in progress.
Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is measured only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable. For this purpose, all costs incurred by the company are considered to relate to the current construction project. Full provision is made for losses on all contracts in the year in which they are first foreseen.
Where the Company has entered into a binding contract for construction, Revenue from long term contracts is recognised by stage of completion. Stage of completion is measured by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract.
Where the contract (including any construction project undertaken speculatively) cannot be measured reliably, revenue is measured only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable. Contract expenses include all expenses that are attributable to the contract including financing costs incurred specifically in respect of that contract and general overheads that would not have been incurred had the contract not been undertaken.
Full provision is made for contract losses at the point in which they are first foreseen.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred taxation is provided using the balance sheet liability method on timing differences, providing for timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liability for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is calculated using the tax rates applicable or expected to be applicable at the date of settlement, based on enacted rates at the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which that asset can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legaly enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position 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 |
25% Straight line / 25% RB (individually assessed) |
Office equipment |
25% Straight line |
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Accounting policies (continued) |
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for construction work or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Stocks
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.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
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 initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs and arrangement fees are treated as assets. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Profit and Loss Account over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Balance Sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the Profit and Loss Account and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
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.
