Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Trident Hotels (South Lakes) 1 Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

| The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

| Significant judgements and estimates

| Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include valuation of work in progress - including adjustments on review of recoverability.

| The directors have considered key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation and uncertainty at the end of the reporting period and do not consider there are any areas where there is a material risk of adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

| Going concern basis

| The forecasts for 2025-26 show the hotel achieving an increase in profits after settlement of rental payments to the parent LLP. In addition the parent undertaking, Trident Hotels (South Lakes) Investments LLP has indicated that it will continue providing loan funding to the company. The directors are satisfied that the above enables the company to continue trading and developing its operations for the foreseeable future and to meet its liabilities and contractual commitments as they fall due. The directors have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

| Turnover

| The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts receivable during the period, excluding VAT, from hotel operations (room revenues, bar sales and other activities associated with running of the hotel). Hotel income is recognised in the period of stay. Amounts invoiced in advance are included in deferred income.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 10% on cost

| 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.

| Trident Hotels (South Lakes) 1 Ltd (Registered number: 10441137) |

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| 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.

| Cash and cash equivalents

| Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with bank, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

| Financial instruments

| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

| Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

| Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforcible right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the net asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

| Basic financial assets

| Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

| Other financial assets

| Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publically traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Impairment of financial assets

| Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

| Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

| Derecognition of financial assets

| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party

| Classification of financial liabilities

| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| Derecognition of financial liabilities

| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

| Equity instruments

| Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 32 (2024 - 30 ) .
