For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
The Company is a not-for-profit, private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales.
The address of the registered office is Town Hall, Market Street, Chorley, PR7 1DP.
The Company has one shareholder, Chorley Council.
The liability of the member is limited to £1, being the amount the member undertakes to contribute to
the assets of the Company in event of it being wound up.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
As at 31 March 2025, the net assets of the Company are reported to be £0.146m (2024: £0.127m liability). This is due to the requirement to report actuarial gains/losses in respect of defined benefit scheme. This does not impact
on the cash flows or the financial health of the Company. Net liabilities excluding the pension liability are £0.173m
(2024: £0.197m).
The Company has a contract with Chorley Council for 10 years, that commenced on 1st August 2021,
with an option to extend for 5 years with agreement of both parties.
After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future based on cash flow
forecasts. Accordingly, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of
applying the entity's accounting policies, and that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements, are as follows:
* Calculation of accruals and deferred income;
* Pension and other post-employment benefits. The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other
post-employment benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves
making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension
increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and the long term nature
of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. In determining the appropriate
discount rate, management considers the interest rates of corporate bonds, the mortality rate is based
on publicly available mortality tables for the specific sector, and future salary increases and pension
increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective sector.
2.4. Turnover
Sales of goods are recognised at the point of sale.
Income in respect of the provision of sports and leisure facilities, including subscription income, is
recognised when the service is provided. This includes sport membership income, which is recognised
over the period of the membership.
Income from Chorley Council for the delivery of the leisure services contract is recognised when due.
Rental income is recognised in respect of the period to which it relates.
Other income is recognised when due.
All income is stated exclusive of Value Added Tax.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
2.5. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
2.6. Pensions
The organisation is an admitted body of the Lancashire Pension fund ('the scheme') which is a funded,
defined benefit scheme.
The organisation operates a defined benefit pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme
are held separately from those of the Company.
Current service costs, past service costs and gains and losses on settlements and curtailments are
charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Past service costs are recognised over the
vesting period, or immediately if the benefits have vested. When a settlement (eliminating all obligations
for benefits already accrued) or a curtailment (reducing future obligations as a result of a material
reduction in the scheme membership, or a reduction in future entitlement) occurs, the obligation and
related plan assets are re-measured using current actuarial assumptions, and the resultant gain or loss
is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the period in which the settlement or
curtailment occurs.
The interest cost and the expected return on assets are shown as a net amount in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income within the Cost of Sales figure. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised
immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within the figure for the Remeasurement of the
net defined benefit plan.
Pension scheme assets are valued at fair value at the Balance Sheet date. Fair value is based on
market price information and in the case of quoted securities, this is at the published bid price. Pension
scheme liabilities are measure on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method and are discounted
to their present value using a rate equivalent to the current rate of return on a high quality corporate
bond of equivalent currency and term to the scheme liabilities. Pension scheme deficits are recognised
in full on the Balance Sheet.
2.7. Debtors
All debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
2.8. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty
or 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.
2.9. Creditors
All creditors are measured at transaction price.
