2.Accounting policies
|
|

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The directors view the cashflows and liabilities of Firmdale Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) as a whole in making assessments of the group’s ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Therefore, as part of their assessment of going concern, the directors of the company have considered the funding and liquidity position of the Group to determine the appropriateness of preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis.
The outbreak of the global Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 had a very significant impact on the operations of the group in common with the majority of businesses worldwide, and the hospitality sector in particular. Following the elimination of all material UK restrictions with effect from 19th July 2021, and the gradual restoration of international travel thereafter, trading demand recovered quickly and since March 2022 both Revenues and Earnings have exceeded those achieved in pre-Covid 2019, a significant milestone in recovery. The continuing growth led to record profitability for the Group in the financial year to January 2023. Furthermore, rising interest rates have not had a significant impact on the Group given that 67% of group debt is fixed and a further 31% has the benefit of an interest rate cap should LIBOR exceed 3.5%.
The trading results for the first six months of the new financial year are slightly ahead of budget and the outlook for the remainder of the year and beyond remains positive. The lenders remained very supportive during the Covid period and the relationships remain strong with comfortable delivery of financial covenant hurdles now firmly re-established.
The Board will continue to monitor developments closely and adjust their forecasting assumptions as required, but have a high degree of confidence that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and meet its covenant obligations for a period of at least twelve months. The Directors have therefore concluded that the company can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
Despite generating a loss before tax in the year to 31 January 2023 of £329,366 and net current liabilities at the reporting date of £18,620,842, the directors consider the company to remain a going concern. Trading activity post year end has continued to improve and with the loan repaid, the removal of interest payable requirements has supported positive results. The net current liabilities position is largely driven by amounts due to fellow companies, who have confirmed this amount will not be recalled to the detriment of other creditors or the operations of the company. The directors therefore consider the going concern basis to remain appropriate.
Revenue represents amounts receivable for accommodation, food and beverage sales and ancillary hotel services provided in the normal course of business.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Deposits which have been received at the reporting date for which services have not yet been provided are included in accruals and deferred income within creditors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
Long-term leasehold property
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
|
|
Revaluation of tangible fixed assets
|
Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the reporting date.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is 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.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss 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. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
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.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Government subsidies and grant income are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to the income will be met and that the income will be received. The income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the periods in which the company incurs expenses for which the subsidies or grants are intended to compensate. In the prior financial year, under FRS102 reporting standards, the company has included its income from the Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme within other income.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the reporting date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the reporting date.
To the extent that the holiday pay adjustment gives rise to an asset balance at the reporting date the amount is reported in prepayments.
All borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred.
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
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 income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of financial position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The following judgements (including the key areas of estimation uncertainty) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Revaluation of tangible fixed assets
The long term leasehold property is held under the revaluation model based on the directors' conclusions, having consulted and reviewed the previous valuations completed by independent valuation specialists. These valuers hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications. The valuations are based on discounted cash flow models which include judgements surrounding future performance and market factors.

A formal valuation was carried out at the previous reporting date, 31 January 2022 and since then an assessment has been carried out by the directors with guidance from Cushman & Wakefield as at 31 January 2023, on the basis of fair value in accordance with the Appraisal and Valuation Manual of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
