The registered office address is The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9SG and the principal place of business is Campbell House, The Crichton Royal Grounds, Bankend Road, Dumfries, DG1 4UQ.
The principal activity of the company during the year was the strategic management of its subsidiary company.
The presentational and functional currency is GBP and amounts are rounded to the nearest pound unless stated otherwise.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
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.
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 company is exempt from the requirement to produce consolidated accounts on the grounds that the group of which it is a part is small.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The company has net assets of £298,005 and net current liabilities of £885,290. The company's key asset is its investment in its subsidiary and as such the net current liability position is not a concern.
The company retains the support of its parent company and it has indicated its intention to continue to fund the company. The directors believe that the company will be able to meet its liabilities for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. As such, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
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.
Revenue from management charges is recognised in the period to which the management charge relates.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.
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.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
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 equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's significant accounting policies which are described in note 2, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant and reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Directors do not consider there to be any critical accounting judgements present, nor are there any key sources of estimation uncertainty that would have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Impairment in investments
No asset impairment was identified at the balance sheet date, nor have any events occurred from 1st April 2025 to the date of this report which may lead to impairment of an asset. Impairment on investments is reviewed annually through the use of discounted revenues and enterprise multiples. The assumptions used can be highly sensitive and are open to management's judgement. Management use prudent industry benchmarks to ensure a realistic present value can be determined to assess impairment.
Fair value of share options
The entity's current estimate of the fair value of the share option schemes is based upon the fair value of the shares at grant date. This underlying estimate can be flexed to a range of third party estimates, with no material impact on the financial statements.
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 4 (2024 - 4).
