Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2023
General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.
The address of its registered office is:
The principal activity of the company is that of a holding company. The principal activity of the company's subsidiary undertakings is that of the running of a night club.
Accounting policies |
Statement of compliance
These 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 financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except any items disclosed in the accounting policies as being shown at fair value and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
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.
Going concern
The company made a loss before tax for the year ended 30 September 2023 and had net liabilities of £183,999 at that date although cash at bank amounted to £24,053.
The company's only major expense is its lease commitment, as detailed in note 9 of the financial statements.
Whilst the company's own ability to continue as a going concern is partly dependent on the subsidiary's ability to service the rent, no further matters have been drawn to the attention of the director to suggest that this arrangement will not continue on acceptable terms for the foreseeable future. The subsidiary undertaking has also confirmed they remain optimistic about future trading.
The company funds its working capital requirements by interest free loans from companies under common control, and is dependent on the continuation of this funding which amounted to £445,095 at the year end. No matters have been drawn to the attention of the director to suggest that this funding will not continue on acceptable terms in the future.
With the resources that the company has, the director believes that, with the current actions being taken, the company will be able to weather the crisis and has sufficient working capital for a period exceeding 12 months from the approval of the financial statements.
On the basis of the above, and after making enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the director continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Revenue recognition
The turnover shown in the profit and loss accounts represents management charges received in respect of the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax, which are recognised in the period to which they relate.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge 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 tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
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 |
Leasehold property improvements |
Over length of lease |
Furniture, fittings and equipment |
4 year straight line |
Investments
Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.

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.
Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
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.
