1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Perle Oban Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The company's registered number is SC539401 and its registered office address is 9 - 11 Bosville Terrace, Portree, Isle of Skye, IV51 9DG.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest whole £ except where otherwise stated.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Going concern

The Director considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, in spite of the net liabilities position and reliance on the director, through loans from other companies under his control, for finance. Should this support be withdrawn, the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, whilst adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amounts and to provide for any further liabilities which may arise. The director has no plans to withdraw funding and therefore has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Significant judgements and estimates

The Directors have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported within the financial statements during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The Directors' estimates, assumptions and judgements that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the financial statements are addressed and detail is provided in the associated note.

Tangible fixed assets

The company early adopted the amendments from the Triennial Review 2017, which allowed the company to transfer the investment property, a hotel which is operated by another group company, to property, plant and equipment (tangible fixed assets) and measure it at cost (less depreciation and impairment) under FRS 102 Section 17 Property, Plant and Equipment. Freehold property is therefore measured at deemed cost being the actual cost at the date of transition which was 1 January 2017.

Depreciation of freehold property is provided at 2.5% on cost less estimated residual value in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value over its estimated useful life of 40 years. The estimated residual value of the property is 40% of its deemed cost. The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited to profit or loss.

Freehold property is initially measured at deemed cost. Subsequently it is measured at fair value less depreciation and impairment losses at the reporting end date. Any surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Financial instruments

The company has no complex financial instruments but does hold basic financial instruments of creditors.

Creditors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, creditors are stated at cost.

Provision for liabilities

A provision is initially recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as the result of a past event, it is probable that there will be the transfer of funds in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. The provision is subsequently measured by placing a charge against the provision only for expenditure for which the provision was originally recognised.

During the year to 31 December 2024, the director made the decision to restate freehold property at its fair value. The freehold property was valued on an open market basis on 31 July 2023 by Collier International Property Consultants Limited. This valuation was deemed to include fixtures and fittings and property improvement costs relating to this property included within the parent company, and therefore the net book value of these assets have been removed from the fair value for freehold properties shown within the financial statements of Perle Oban Limited to 31 December 2024. The director believes that there has been no change in valuation between the date of the professional valuation and the year end of 31 December 2024.
