GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The results of the company for the year and its financial position are shown in the annexed financial statements. |
For the year ended 30 June 2024, the company achieved a profit before tax of £409,393 (2023: £284,029) on turnover of £4,034,899 (2023; £4,032,916). |
The adoption of a robust pricing policy meant that prices in general were stronger during this period and the gross profit margin improved to 39.6% compared with 38.2% in the previous year. |
2025 looks as though it will be a challenging year for this industry, due almost wholly to government policy. Weddings were slow to sell for this period so we offered some discounts to help increase bookings, which appeared to work. This along with huge NIC and minimum wage hikes indicates a drop in profits for the year and undoubtedly staff layoffs. |
2026 looks better with higher wedding rates and increased trade form recent refurbishments. Profits should increase, depending on the lack of introduction of any further punitive government policy changes. |
Overall, the directors are satisfied with the performance for the year. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Financing and interest rates |
The group's primary cash inflows are generated from the subsidiary trading company, Whitley Hall Hotel Limited. That company has a small overdraft facility, but there is rarely a need to use this. There is an interest rate risk attaching to the bank overdraft, but this is minimal. |
The group continues to be financed by long term bank loans, which have a further 5 years to run. |
The group does not trade in financial instruments and has no other form of derivatives. |
Cashflows |
The primary cash inflows are derived from the groups trading company, Whitley Hall Hotel Limited. Under the current economic climate, maintaining cashflow is paramount and this will be monitored closely to ensure cashflows are sufficient to enable the group to meet its obligations. |
Competition |
Competitive risk exists in all business and customers in the hotel sector are very price sensitive and the sector is exceptionally competitive. The group's objective is to be able to identify such risks at an early stage so that an appropriate strategy can be implemented to reduce that risk sufficient to enable the group to meet its obligations. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
HLW229 LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05112997) |

The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 30 June 2024 amounts to £165,534. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2023 to the date of this report. |
DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
Certain items required under Schedule 7 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports Regulations) 2008 to be disclosed in the directors' report are set out in the Strategic Report in accordance with S414C(11) Companies Act 2006. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
HLW229 LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of HLW229 Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
HLW229 LIMITED |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
- Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity's in-house legal team around actual and potential litigation and claims; |
- Enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the further that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |

The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of HLW 229 Limited and its subsidiary undertaking. The Group profit and loss account includes the results of HLW 229 Limited and its subsidiary after intra group trading and profits have been eliminated. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
- Key sources of estimation uncertainty. |
The Group believes that there are no areas of material estimation uncertainty which affect the financial statements. |
- Critical accounting judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies. |
The Group believes that the major judgements applied are: the use of the going concern principle which is based on the belief that the group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of services provided, excluding value added tax. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |

Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. |
As stated above, the depreciation policy for freehold property is straight line over 99 years. As the estimated residual value of the hotel land and buildings is considered not to be materially different from its current carrying value, no depreciation has been charged. Depreciation is being charged on a separate freehold property. |
Depreciation of assets only commences when the asset is brought into use. |

Financial Liabilities |
The group's bank loans payable meet the definition of a basic financial instrument, so they are originally recognised at the transaction price. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Investments |
Investments are included at the lower of cost or net recoverable amount. |
Government grants |
Government grants received which are of a capital nature, are recognised as deferred income in the balance sheet and then credited to the profit and loss account at the same rate as the depreciation charge of the relevant asset. |
Government grants received which are of a revenue nature are credited directly to the profit and loss account. |
