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 £93,404 in the year ended 31 December 2023 and has net liabilities of £94,080 at 31 December 2023. As a result company is reliant on the 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 Leicester Propco Limited, Which at the balance sheet date had a value of 23,086,416. The loan is overdue at the time of signing of the
financial statements, and therefore the imminent repayment calls into question the ability of the subsidiaries 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
re‑finance
these
loans,
such
that
the company will
be
able
to
operate
as
a
going
concern,
he
recognises
that
the
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 3 July 2025 was Mr Sheetal Shah FCCA, who signed for and on behalf of Innovi Advisors Ltd.

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

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

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.

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.
