DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
In September 2024 the Sleeperz group of companies entered into a long-term franchise agreement with another hotel group to rebrand the Sleeperz hotels. The process to rebrand was completed during in the first quarter of 2025. As a result of the franchise agreement entered into by the Company and the subsequent rebranding of the hotel that it operates, it is expected that in future financial periods it will incur the costs of the franchise fee payable to the franchisor and costs associated with the rebranding, which will be offset by expected savings in other areas of expenditure.
On 18 November 2024, the Company's auditors changed their name from Haysmacintyre LLP to HaysMac LLP.
The auditors, HaysMac LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
In preparing this report, the directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SLEEPERZ NEWCASTLE LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Sleeperz Newcastle Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position and the related notes, including a summary of 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 Auditors' 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 directors' 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SLEEPERZ NEWCASTLE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Directors' Report has 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 Directors' Report.

SLEEPERZ NEWCASTLE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SLEEPERZ NEWCASTLE 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 Auditors' 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:
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud. Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to national minimum wage regulations and food hygiene standards, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, income tax, payroll tax and sales tax. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
∙inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
∙discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, particularly in respect of minimum wage regulations and food hygiene standards, and fraud;
∙reviewing board minutes and legal expenses for evidence of any breaches of laws and regulations;
∙evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
∙reviewing a sample of hotel room bookings straddling the year end to ensure that the income from them has been recognised in the correct financial period;
∙identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted containing key words such as those in
respect of related parties, journal entries in revenue, journal entries with a large value, journal entries with a round sum value and journal entries with unusual account combinations; and,
∙challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates, particular in respect of the valuation of leasehold property.

SLEEPERZ NEWCASTLE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SLEEPERZ NEWCASTLE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' Report.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Sleeperz Newcastle Limited is a private company, limited by shares, and incorporated in England and Wales. The Company's registered number is 06407916 and registered office address is Unit 4, The Whitehouse, 9 Belvedere Road, London, England, SE1 8YS.
The principal place of business is 15 Westgate Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE1 1SE. The principal activity of the Company is that of a hotelier.
2.Accounting policies
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 judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £7,013,834, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, without any material uncertainties in respect of going concern identified, which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Although these forecasts do not include full repayment of the bank loan held by Sleeperz Hotels Limited, which is currently classified as repayable on demand and secured on the leasehold property of the Company, through productive conversations with Sleeperz Hotels Limited’s bankers regarding the terms of the loan and the willingness and ability of the shareholders to provide ongoing support, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Company signed a franchise agreement with Marriott in 2024. In the first quarter of 2025 the hotel was rebranded to Four Point Flex by Sheraton, which will further improve group trading. Revenue from accommodation, food and beverages and other ancillary services are recognised on the date of delivery of the service, as this is the date on which the risks and rewards transfer from the Company to the customer.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the reporting date.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

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.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates using historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates, the effect of which is recognised in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Going concern The directors have used judgement in determining that the Company is a going concern. See note 2.2 for further details. Revaluation of leasehold property The Company holds leasehold property, including fixtures and fittings, of £3,780,000 (2023: £2,760,000) which are accounted for under the revaluation model. Valuation of leasehold property is a significant area of estimation. Directors' valuations are based upon the most recent external valuations available by external professional valuers' and directors' expertise and knowledge of current market conditions. The valuation of leasehold property is inherently subjective, as it is based upon valuer assumptions and directors' assessment of market conditions which may prove to be inaccurate. Slight changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the £877,313 revaluation gain in Profit & Loss (2023: £2,712,260 revaluation loss).
