General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.

The address of its registered office is:
130 Shaftesbury Avenue
2nd Floor
London
W1D 5EU

The principal activity of the company is that of the operation of a holiday home park.

2

Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

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' Section 1A and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except any items disclosed in the accounting policies as being shown at fair value and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

The company made a profit for the year ending 30 September 2024 and had net assets of £631,570 at that date.

At 30 September 2024 an amount of £512,772 was due to group undertakings who have agreed to not call for repayment until such time as the company has sufficient working capital.

The company has provided an interest free loan to group undertakings amounting to £1,203,326 which is repayable on demand and the directors believe that this remains recoverable.

The director is optimistic about future trading and expects the company to trade profitability in the forthcoming year. Forecasts prepared by the director show that the company has sufficient working capital for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements.

On the basis of the above, and after making enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the director continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of Value Added Tax, rebates and discounts.

Accommodation income is recognised evenly over the period to which it relates.

 

Sherwood Castle Limited

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.

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

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Furniture, fittings and equipment

25% reducing balance

Motor vehicles

25% reducing balance

Plant and machinery

25% reducing balance

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.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

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.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

3

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company during the year, was 14 (2023 - 22).

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

10

Contingent liabilities

The company has given a guarantee in respect of the bank borrowings of its parent company, which amounted to £1,572,931 (2023: £2,312,643). The guarantee is secured by a fixed and floating charge on the company's freehold property.

11

Related party transactions

In accordance with FRS 102 paragraph IAC.35, exemption is taken not to disclose transactions in the year or amounts falling due between undertakings where 100% of the voting rights are controlled within the group.

12

Prior period adjustment

During the year the directors identified that freehold property with a carrying value of £7,948,600 and a revaluation reserve of £5,558,344 and the related deferred tax provision of £1,756,813 had been incorrectly included in the financial statements to 30 September 2023 where the property in question is legally owned by a fellow group undertaking.

The misstatement of the above together with an increase in amounts due from group undertakings of £633,443 has been corrected in the current financial statements and the comparatives have been restated.

The effect of this adjustment is to decrease tangible fixed assets by £7,948,600, increase amounts owed by group undertakings by £633,443, decrease the revaluation reserve by £5,558,344 and reduce the deferred tax provision by £1,756,813 at 30 September 2023 from that previously stated. This restatement had no effect on the previously reported result for the year then ended.
