The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
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. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
Rendering of services |
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract; |
- the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and |
- the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. |
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably. |
Corporate fitness clubs |
Up until part way through the year, the Company owned fitness clubs under the 9Round brand. Monthly memberships due are recorded as revenue when earned. Personal training session revenues are deferred until the session has occurred, redemption of the session is deemed to be remote or, when the session has expired. Apparel and merchandise sales are recorded at the point of sale. This income stream ceased during 2023. |
Franchising |
The Company derives revenues from the sale of franchises and related services to franchisees. The Company receives initial franchise fees, royalties and revenues from providing product and services to franchises and rebates from certain vendors used by the Company and its franchises. |
The Company received rebates from certain vendors used by the franchisee that are recorded as service and sales revenue when franchisees purchase equipment and the related equipment is delivered to the franchisee. |
Insurance |
The Company pays the insurer directly for all franchisees. Premiums are then collected by the Company from the franchisees through it's monthly franchise billing process. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Long leasehold | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Equipment | - |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less any provision for impairment. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that resulted 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 non-puttable ordinary shares. |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence if impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet 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. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |

Going concern |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to use the going concern assumption which assumes that the Company will have sufficient resources to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. |
The Company reported a profit after tax of £1,044,570 (2022: £266,210) for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. The Company had net liabilities at 31 December 2023 of £3,111,741 (2022: £4,156,311). |
The Company will continue to rely on the committed support from the ultimate US parent company Snap Fitness Topco, LLC., who are also the major creditors, providing support in its endeavors. |
There were no significant changes in the Company's principal activity during the financial year and the directors are not aware at the date of this report of any likely major changes in either the nature or level of the Company's activities in the next year. After making inquiries, the directors believe the Company has adequate financial resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. |
Based on a consideration of the factors above, the directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate for the financial statements. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern. |
Provisions for liabilities |
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. |
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value using a pre-tax discount rate. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises. |
Profit or loss from discontinuing operations |
The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as discontinued operation if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a disposal transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as discontinued operations are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell or dispose. Costs to sell or dispose are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense. |
The criteria for the discontinued operations is regarded as met only when the discontinued operation is highly probable, and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate disposal in its present condition. Actions required to complete the disposal should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the discontinued operations will be made or that the decision for discontinued operations will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to discontinue the operations and the discontinuance of the operation is expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification. |
Assets and liabilities included in the discontinued operations are presented as part of current items in the statement of financial position. |
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented in profit or loss as part of discontinued operations column in the statement of profit or loss. |
