NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.


General information

The Company was incorporated and registered in England and Wales on 20 February 2020 as a private company limited by shares with registered number 12473684. The Company’s registered office is Boom Battle Bar Oxford Street Ground Floor And Basement Level, 70-88 Oxford Street, London, W1D 1BS. Its principal activity is that of running the owned and operated venue in Norwich. The venue comprises a bar surrounded by competitive socialising games such as axe throwing and crazy golf. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of XP Factory plc. 

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

During the period, the reporting date was extended to 31 March 2024 to align with the other entities in the XP Factory plc group. The reporting period is the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2024 and therefore the comparatives for the period from 1 August 2022 to 31 December 2022 are not entirely comparable.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £92,401 as at 31 March 2024, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The site in Norwich is performing satisfactorily and the Directors are confident that the company was profitable in the period under review. The balance sheet contains £77,192 liabilities due to companies within the XP Factory Group. The directors have made reasonable inquiries of the parent company and other companies in the parent company’s group, and the parent company has confirmed its intention, if required, to provide financial support to enable the Company to settle its liabilities as they fall due to that financial support will continue to be available for the foreseeable future and that neither the parent company nor other associated subsidiaries will seek repayment of the loans so as to impact the Company’s ability to operate as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements.
Having undertaken a detailed budgeting exercise, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

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:

Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
•  the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
•  the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
•  it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.6

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.7

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 
2.8

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

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 income.

 
2.9

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

Tangible fixed assets

During the current reporting period, the management of the company conducted a review of the useful lives of its assets. As a result of this review, the useful lives of leasehold improvements has been revised from 5 years to 10 years, and the useful lives of games has been revised from 2 years to 5 years. This change in estimate has been applied prospectively from the beginning of the current reporting period.

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Leasehold improvements
-
10%
Fixtures and fittings
-
20%
Computer equipment
-
33%
Boom games
-
20%

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.11

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. 

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock 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.

 
2.12

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 
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 and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.12
Financial instruments (continued)

Basic financial assets 
Basic financial assets, which include receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 
Impairment of financial assets 
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. 
Derecognition of financial assets 
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. 
Classification of financial liabilities 
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. 
Basic financial liabilities 
Basic financial liabilities, including payables and loans from fellow group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. 
Derecognition of financial liabilities 
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
