1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

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

The principal place of business is 1-2 Church Road, Low Field Heath, Crawley, RH11 0PQ.

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.

Turnover

Turnover represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the provision of goods and services in the ordinary course of business, excluding value added tax and trade discounts. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

Room revenue

Revenue from the provision of accommodation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the guest’s stay. Amounts received in advance of the period of stay are recorded as deferred income and recognised as revenue when the related services are provided.

Other revenue

Revenue from other goods and services, including food and beverage sales, conferences and events, leisure services, and car parking, is recognised at the point when the goods are supplied or the services are rendered to the customer. Deposits and advance payments received in respect of these services are recorded as deferred income until the service obligation has been fulfilled.

Tangible fixed assets

Long leasehold property includes a leasehold hotel which is carried at its revalued amount, being fair value at the date of valuation. Revaluations are performed by professional qualified valuers with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from those that would be determined using fair values at the end of each reporting period.

Any revaluation increase in the carrying amount of long leasehold property is recognised in other comprehensive income and included in a revaluation reserve in equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit and loss to the extent of the decrease previously expended.

Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against revaluation reserve in equity; decreases exceeding the balance in revaluation reserve relating to an asset are recognised in profit or loss. The use of a policy of revaluation provided more relevant and reliable information about the value of the property owned by the company.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Significant accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with UK GAAP requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant estimates and assumptions are made in particular with regard to determining the valuation of the company's hotel included in Tangible Fixed Assets. In line with many other company's in the industry, the hotel value is derived from assumed future trading results which are discounted using interest rates provided by commercial property experts

Bank and cash accounting

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Expenditure accounting policy

Expenditure is recognised in the profit and loss account on an accruals basis as the related goods and services are received. Costs are charged to the profit and loss account except where they relate to the acquisition of an asset, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the company’s capitalisation policy.
