Notes to the Financial Statements |

Year ended 31 March 2024
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is C/O Director of Finance, Mosborough Hall Hotel, High Street, Mosborough, Sheffield, S20 5EA.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
Management have determined that a material uncertainty exists which may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Given the then market conditions in the post pandemic era, a valuation of the property held in the parent company was undertaken in March 2022 which resulted in a reduction in the value of the long leasehold property assets in the subsequent financial statements of the parent company. In order to update the position and to satisfy the requirements of the company bankers in relation to the group bank funding, a further property valuation has been undertaken during this latest year, in addition to which the group has undertaken a value in use appraisal and valuation. As a result, the carrying value of the company property in the holding company has again been re-assessed and reduced, this reflected in the holding company financial statements. Despite this downward movement, there remains a net revaluation reserve in relation to the holding company property, this as a result of earlier upward valuation movements, with the current carrying value of the property, as revalued, being in excess of cost. The nature of the group property assets is such that the valuation is very much structured around the earning capacity of those assets which itself has been substantially impacted by the effect of world events and macro-economic factors which have significantly affected the financial results recorded during this difficult period. As a result of the reduction in value within the group, there has been a historic technical breach of the 'loan to value' financial covenant applicable to the group debt secured as against the property. Management have subsequently re-negotiated variations to the terms of the group finance facilities which will address the subject covenant going forward and negate the breach. This re-negotiation is also indicative of the ongoing support being provided by the funding provider. As a result of the technical breach during the accounting period, management have determined that the long term portion of the debt be presented as a current liability in the financial statements of the holding company, which presentation exacerbates the net current liability position of the holding company, allied to a net current liability position of this company and, whilst the entity and the group are still considered to be a going concern, a material uncertainty inevitably exists.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the opinion of management, there are no areas of judgement or key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for the supply of accomodation, food, drinks and related goods at the company's hotel site, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of the above items is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that 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 that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
|
Long leasehold property |
- |
over the lease term
|
|
Plant and machinery |
- |
5 years straight line
|
|
Equipment |
- |
5 years straight line
|
|
|
|
|
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net relisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
4.
Government grants
Income from Government grants are in respect of the Small Business Grant Fund, the Cornavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Bounce Back Loan Scheme.
5.
Employee numbers
The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to
