STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The director presents his report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Principal activity The company has continued to operate a hotel in London in the year.
The hotel operates in a highly competitive market and faces risks common to the hospitality sector in London. The key risks identified by the directors include macroeconomic conditions such as economic fluctuations, inflationary pressures, and changes in consumer spending patterns, which may impact occupancy rates and revenue, UK’s attractiveness as a destination, competitive landscape and regulatory compliance and standards.
The Board of Directors conducts regular risk assessments and implements strategic measures to address these challenges, ensuring the hotel's resilience and long-term sustainability.
he company's financial and operational performance in the current year has been impacted by an ongoing refurbishment, expected to continue until the first quarter of 2025.
• Turnover – Revenue declined by 9% compared to the previous year due to the refurbishment. • EBITDA – The company reported an EBITDA profit of £504,665, a decrease from £1,735,815 in 2023. • Occupancy Rate – Dropped by 2.1 percentage points to 72.9% (2024) from 75.0% (2023), reflecting temporary capacity constraints and market conditions. • Average Room Rate (ARR) – Decreased by £2.81, from £106.17 (2023) to £103.36 (2024). Despite the temporary decline in performance, the director considers the results satisfactory, given the planned refurbishment and its expected long-term benefits. The company remains focused on enhancing its service offerings and positioning itself for stronger performance post-renovation. Results and dividends The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £411,030 (2023 - 1,570,846). The director does not recommend the payment of a dividend (2023 - £Nil). Future Outlook The company remains committed to maintaining the hotel's standards while leveraging the refurbishment to enhance guest experience, drive revenue growth, and improve profitability in 2025. The upgraded facilities are expected to strengthen the hotel's competitive positioning, attract a broader customer base, and increase both occupancy rates and average room rates. The Director is confident that these improvements will support long-term growth and financial stability.
This report was approved by the board on 26 June 2025 and signed on its behalf.

In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

DIRECTOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Going concern
The Director has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company has shown improvement in its financial position during the year, now being in a net assets position compared to net liabilities in 2023 and continued profitability in 2024. Trading has remained robust into 2025, supported by the refurbishment of hotel rooms, restaurant, and bar, as well as the successful rebranding of the property under the dual Ibis and Mercure brands. Revenue growth is being driven by both higher occupancy volumes and improved average room rates across the two brands. The Company holds sufficient cash reserves and maintains access to adequate financial resources to support ongoing operations. The ultimate owner has confirmed that balances due to related parties, which are under common ownership, will not be recalled by these parties unless the Company has sufficient funds to do so and it will not impact the cash requirements of the Company. The broader UK economic outlook is positive due to strong wage growth, and anticipated reductions in interest rates expected to support further growth in the hospitality sector. The refurbishment programme, funded by Lillie Investments Limited, progressed significantly during 2024, with the majority of works now completed. The remaining elements are expected to be finalised during 2025. The Company’s fellow subsidiary, Lillie Investments Limited, owns the property used by Cockpit Hotel (London) Limited to trade. Lillie Investments Limited has confirmed it will continue to financially support the Company in relation to the refurbishment of the hotel. Cockpit Hotel (London) Limited continues to act as guarantor for the bank loan refinanced by Lillie Investments Limited in 2022. In preparing the forecasts, management has considered current trading trends, the impact of the refurbishment, seasonality, and cost pressures. Based on these forecasts and cash flow projections covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the Director is satisfied that the going concern basis remains appropriate.
There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COCKPIT HOTEL (LONDON) LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Cockpit Hotel (London) Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprises of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows, and the related notes, including 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).
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COCKPIT HOTEL (LONDON) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Director's Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COCKPIT HOTEL (LONDON) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 an Auditor's Report 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. 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 and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙A review of legal and professional expense nominal accounts for any indications of non-compliance with 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 for significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
∙Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charge with governance.
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 more 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 Auditor's Report.

2.Accounting policies

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Director has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Company has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet 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
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash

2.Accounting policies (continued)
equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
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 the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to one class of business.
