Going concern

Administration of Holding Company: On 28th January, 2025 the holding company, Redbookinternational Limited, entered into administration due to financial pressure and to streamline the group companies. The appointed administrators are Paul Davies and Sandra Mundy of James Cowper Kreston. The administration process is ongoing, and the administrators are working to realize the assets of the Group and settle its liabilities.

Sale of Subsidiaries: Subsequent to the year-end date, on 29th April, 2025, the administrators completed the sale of the company's subsidiaries, Bricks Leicester Capital Limited, Bricks Salford 2 Capital Limited, Bricks Swansea Capital Limited and LCA Capital Limited, including subsidiaries of these companies to Uniquarters Limited. The sale was part of the strategy to maximize returns to creditors. The financial impact of this transaction will be reflected in the next financial period.

The Management has assessed the implications of the sale on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate as at the date of approval of these financial statements.

Notwithstanding this assessment, the Director recognises that there are issues which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The company generated losses of £34,936 in the year ended 31 December 2023 and has net liabilities of £158,844 at 31 December 2023. The company incurs minimal operational costs but does not generate any income. As a result, it is reliant on the financial support of its subsidiaries and ultimate parent company not recalling the loan due to it. The subsidiaries have material uncertainties with respect to going concern due to administration of immediate parent undertaking which has resulted in all the intercompany liabilities to ultimate parent undertaking recoverable on demand. There
is therefore a risk that such debts cannot be repaid on demand. Also, the company is a cross-guarantor of loans held in Bricks Swansea Land Limited which at 31 December 2023
had a balance of £41,375,640 including accrued interest. The loan is overdue
at the date of signing
the
financial statements, and therefore the imminent repayment calls into question the ability of the company to continue as a going concern should it be required to repay this loan. 



Although
the
Director is
strongly of
the view
that subsidiaries
will
be
able
to
support the operation of subgroup based on the revenue generated by operating companies and the company will
be
able
to
operate
as
a
going
concern,
he
recognises
that
the
above issues
above
may
cast
significant
doubt
on the
ability
of
the
subsidiaries
to
provide
this
company
the
financial
support
referred
to
above.
Accordingly
significant doubt
exists
about
this
company's
ability
to
continue
as
a
going
concern and,
therefore,
that
it
may
be
unable
to realise
its
assets
and
discharge
its
liabilities
in
the
normal
course
of
business.

Audit report

The Independent Auditor's Report was unqualified.

The name of the Senior Statutory Auditor who signed the audit report on 30 June 2025 was Mr Sheetal Shah FCCA, who signed for and on behalf of Innovi Advisors Ltd.

.........................................

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.

Investments

Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.


Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Accounting policies (continued)

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Financial instruments

Classification
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities, or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
