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.

Statement of compliance

The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

Going concern

At the balance sheet date the company had net current liabilities of £2,639,481 (2023 - £1,995,577).

In preparing and approving these financial statements the directors have given due consideration to going concern risks. Whilst recognising that there can be no certainty, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate. In reaching this conclusion the directors, having made all necessary enquiries, have considered the following matters:

i) The company continues to have support from its fellow subsidiary St Moritz Hotel and Garden Villas Limited. At the balance sheet date the amount due to St Moritz Hotel and Garden Villas was £2,559,120 (2023 - £2,142,741).

ii) Detailed projections have been prepared by the wider-group, including the company, which demonstrate the ability of the group to continue to manage its cash flows and meets its obligations as and when they fall due.

iii) The company has sought and obtained support from the bank to finance the winter trading period, which is in line with projections.

After due consideration of these factors the directors are satisfied that the company will be able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future - being a period no less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Turnover in the prior year relates to income from furniture pack sales. This is recognised when it is invoiced.

Other operating income represents rental income chargeable for the use of the asset of the company, being the hotel complex and associated plant.

Tax

Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other 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 reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet 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

Freehold land and buildings

Not depreciated

Plant and machinery

10% reducing balance

Stocks

Work in progress, which represents apartments for sale, is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

At each reporting date work in progress is assessed for impairment. If work in progress 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.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification
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.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

 Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments. Where the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and loans from fellow group companies are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments. Where the item constitutes a financing transaction the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Critical judgement and estimation uncertainty

In applying the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revaluation

The fair value of the company's freehold land and buildings was revalued on 16 September 2011 by an independent valuer. The independent valuer, being Savills Commercial, undertook this valuation on the basis of open market value.

Had this class of asset been measured on a historical cost basis, their carrying amount would have been £2,830,186 (2023 - £2,302,991).

The company has applied the transitional arrangements of Section 35 of FRS102 and used a previous valuation as the deemed cost for its freehold property.
