Basis of preparation other than going concern
On 1st September, 2023, Bricks Salford 2 Propco entered in to agreement with Wizard Salford Quay Propco II Limited for sale of its purpose built student accommodation for the consideration of £68m. The proceeds were used for paying secured creditors. The director intended to wind down the operations of the company, and in the prior year, it was anticipated that the company would be struck off within 12 months of the audit report date. As of the date of approval of these financial statements, the strike-off action has not yet occurred, as the director is awaiting to review status of various conditions upon which Bricks Salford 2 Propco Limited is entitled to receive a Top-Up Payment of up to £4 million, contingent upon the Net Operating Income (NOI) of the property for the 2024/2025 academic year. The condition is based on the actual financial performance of the property during the academic year ending 31 August 2025. As at 31 December 2023, the condition had not been met and the outcome remained uncertain. However, director confirm that there are no plans to resume trading and hence, The financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis.
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 directors continue to assess the status of parameters upon which the Top-up payment will be based. The director intends to apply to strike off the company within 12 months of date of approval of these financial statements by the time of which, the contingent conditions is expected to materialize. Hence, the financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. Assets have been recognised at the lower of their depreciated cost or recoverable amount and liabilities have been treated as short term.

Audit report
The name of the Senior Statutory Auditor who signed the audit report on
.........................................
Tangible assets
Land is carried at fair value at the balance sheet date. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using the fair value at the balance sheet date.
Fair values are determined by the directors following guidance from professionally qualified valuers.
Depreciation
Land is not depreciated.
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.

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.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the income statement over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
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.
