Operating risks include, but are not limited to, the following issues:
 

The economic climate, buyer confidence and the housing market. General housing demand and supply.

The availability of development land and the complexities of dealing with the planning process.
 
Attracting and retaining the very best personnel, workforce, subcontractors and professional advisers.
 
Ensuring adequate systems and procedures exist, to reduce as far as possible the health and safety risks associated with construction operations.
 
The ongoing economic impact of the Covid-19 virus remains a risk to future company performance.

Financial and other key performance indicators
 
The following key performance indicators are highlighted: 
Turnover for the year amounted to £53,741,891 (2020 - £21,019,953); Profit on ordinary activities before taxation £7,598,161 (2020 -  £335,838); Total shareholder funds £36,479,599 (2020 - £30,696,320). The total number of employees was 54 (2020 - 61).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORFOLK HOMES HOLDINGS LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Norfolk Homes Holdings Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2021, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent Company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' Report thereon.  The director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORFOLK HOMES HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Director's Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 2, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities, including fraud

Based on our knowledge and understanding of the company and group we identified the principal risks of a material misstatement in the financial statements relating to irregularities including fraud, and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

We documented our understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the company  and group operates and focused on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, Financial Reporting Standard 102, and compliance with relevant direct and indirect taxation regulations.

Audit procedures performed to respond to the risks identified included;

We assessed whether the accounting policies, treatments and presentation adopted in the financial statements were in accordance with applicable law and accounting standards.

We reviewed correspondence and documentation with regulatory bodies, such as HM Revenue & Customs for any indication of non-compliance with laws and regulations.

NORFOLK HOMES HOLDINGS LIMITED
 

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORFOLK HOMES HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

We carried out a detailed analytical review to identify unusual or unexpected results or outcomes which may have indicated a risk of material misstatement. We compared results to previous accounting periods to monitor variances and ensure that these were as expected.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

1.


General information

Norfolk Homes Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. The company's principle place of business is Weybourne Road, Sheringham, Norfolk, NR26 8WB.

The group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102 as it applies to the financial statements of the group for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Comparative data relates to the accounting period 18 October 2019 to 31 March 2020.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore fully eliminated.


 
2.3

Going concern

The director has prepared the accounts on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for a period of no less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

 
2.4

Turnover

Turnover represents the value of house sales and is recognised where contracts for sale have been completed at the year end. Deposits received on exchange of contracts prior to the year end are also included within turnover on the basis that these are non-refundable. Turnover excludes Value Added Tax.

 
2.5

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.

Page 14

 
NORFOLK HOMES HOLDINGS LIMITED
 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.6

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.

 
2.8

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

 
2.9

Current and deferred taxation

The taxation expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Taxation is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the United Kingdom.

The charge for taxation takes into account taxation deferred or accelerated as a result of all material timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that they are regarded as recoverable within the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

 
2.10

Intangible assets

Goodwill and amortisation

Goodwill is the difference between amounts paid on the acquisition of a business and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities. It is amortised to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over its estimated economic life of nine years.
Details relating to goodwill included in the consolidated financial statements is shown in note 11.

 
2.11

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.11
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold trading property
-
2%
straight line
Plant and machinery
-
25%
reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25%
reducing balance
Showhouse furniture
-
15%
reducing balance
Office equipment
-
25%
reducing balance


Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 
2.12

Revaluation of tangible fixed assets

Freehold investment properties are included at fair value determined from market based evidence and assessed by the director.
 
 
2.13

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.14

Stocks

Stocks and work in progress comprise development land and properties under construction and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of work in progress includes all direct construction costs. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price. Development land is included where contracts to purchase land have been exchanged prior to the year end. The corresponding liability is included in creditors.


 
2.15

Debtors

Debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment for bad or doubtful debts.

 
2.16

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.


 
2.17

Creditors

Trade and short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including loan notes, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.18

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance Sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.

 
2.19

Financial instruments

Basic financial instrument relate to transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities at transaction price like trade and other debtors, creditors, loans from banks and other third parties. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), also include financing transactions where loans are financed at a rate which is not considered to be a market rate of interest. Transactions of this type are initially measured at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.


3.


Judgments in applying group accounting policies

The preparation of the financial statements involves, in certain areas, the use of accounting estimates and management judgment. The key areas involving estimates and judgments are as follows:

The valuation of work in progress, incorporating assessments of, future income and future costs, taking prudent account of economic circumstances including the impact of Covid-19.

The appropriate method and rate for depreciation of tangible fixed assets.
